Stop Trying to Make Friends. Go Play

What if the secret to making friends isn't trying harder to make friends, but simply finding something fun to do? In this playful conversation, Fawn and Matt explore what happens when adults stop playing, why we feel guilty about "wasting time," and how play can reduce stress, spark creativity, bring us into the present moment, and most importantly, connect us with other people. From pickleball and improv to cooking, cycling, trivia nights, and the simple joy of bouncing a rubber ball down the street, discover why play might be one of the easiest paths to friendship, connection, and a more joyful life. making friends as an adult how to make friends friendship making new friends finding friends friendship podcast adult friendships play importance of play play and friendship social connection human connection community loneliness adult loneliness meaningful friendships building friendships finding community friendship and connection how to make friends after 40 how to make friends after 50 socializing as an adult How do you make friends as an adult?
