Ep. 254 The Secret to Making Friends

Have you ever found yourself struggling to make friends, especially when you're in a new place or starting fresh in a new environment? Whether you're the new kid in class, recently moved to a different city, or just feeling a bit isolated, building connections can sometimes feel overwhelming. But here's the truth: making friends starts with being a friend.

In this video, I’m sharing some valuable insights and personal stories about how you can develop meaningful friendships by simply being present and showing genuine interest in others. I’ll talk about the importance of looking beyond the "cool group" and reaching out to those who might feel like outliers. It’s often those small acts of kindness that lead to the strongest bonds.

But I get it—being present and engaging with others isn’t always easy, especially if you've experienced bullying, isolation, or a challenging home life that may have made it difficult to trust or connect with others. That’s where coaching can be incredibly helpful. I’ll discuss how working with a Catholic life coach or a personal development coach can help you learn the skills needed to attract and maintain friendships, skills that are vital for a fulfilling life.

I’ll also share a story about my own experience of moving to a new place and how I found friendship by following the example of someone who’s a master at building connections. From simple steps to more in-depth coaching strategies, this video is packed with practical advice to help you overcome loneliness and start forming the relationships you’ve always wanted.

So, if you’ve ever felt disconnected or unsure about how to make friends, this video is for you. Remember, God wants you to be happy, and part of that happiness comes from the relationships we build. And if you need extra support, don’t hesitate to reach out to a coach who can guide you on this journey. Tune in, and let’s work together to create the friendships that enrich our lives.
