"I'm addicted to social media. I love it and I hate it."

"Making friends as an adult is so damn hard."

These are some of the most common issues that I listen to from my therapy couch, as the majority of folks I serve are between the ages of 22-40.

My conclusion is that what we deeply desire as a generation is: INTIMACY.

Not the hot and heavy, sexual intimacy, but a sacred closeness with other humans. with FRIENDS.

We're not sure how to make new friends or sustain the existing connections we do have. And social media isn't helping like we hoped it would.

In this episode I'm bringing a new spin to the conversation around social media and adult friendships, offering some guidance based on my experience and ideas I've changed my mind about, and shedding some light on the difference between "vulnerable" sharing online versus true intimacy IRL.

I hope you love this thought provoking episode- number 50!!
