How to Make and Keep Friends (Podcast #28 with Carlin Flora)

An Action Plan for Dreamers is a weekly 20-minute podcast where we provide practical and actionable advice about what it takes to create the life you crave. It’s short enough to listen on your commute or coffee break and contains practical steps you can take to move closer to your dream life.

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” ~ CS Lewis

Show Notes

Let’s face it, making friends as we get older is tough. Where do you find them? How do you strike up a random conversation that blossoms into a long-term friendship? Plus, with so little time available how do you keep up with those good friends you already have?

Going after any big goal requires the support of good friends to be your support system and route for you each step of the way. Today, we’re talking about how to make and keep friends in the midst of a busy schedule. We’ve providing tips, suggestions, and tools you can use to make and keep up with your friendships no matter how busy you may be.

We are delighted to be joined by Carlin Flora, the former features editor of Psychology Today and the author of the book, Friendfluence: The Surprising Ways Friends Make Us Who We Are. She’s appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, CNN, and now on our show, An Action Plan for Dreamers, meaning she’s totally made it. Carlin’s book combines scientific rigor with warm human stories to show us the unexpected ways our friendships influence our lives.

Sponsor Love

Today’s sponsor is Declutter Clinic, the course we created to help you clear the space in your home so you can enjoy more coffee dates, dinner parties, and backyard barbecues with the people you love. Wouldn’t it be great to invite people in instead of always meeting somewhere else? Find out how to create an inviting space at DeclutterClinic.com.

Coming Up

On next week’s show, we’ll be talking about why you aren’t as happy as you should be and how to change that. We’ll be joined by a “happiness guru” to share her philosophy that “being happy is both a process and a choice”. Don’t miss it.
