Ohmygoodness, I am SO excited for this. For so many reasons, but especially because this topic has been on my mind (consumed my thoughts) lately and I definitely have had the feeling that I must be doing it wrong. I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and discoveries and exploration of this part of life. 💛

Thanks for the excitement Tami — and the 'doing it wrong' feeling can be such an isolating one, but I sense definitely not an uncommon one. Hope to illuminate some helpful gems ❤️

I'm excited for you 😊 & what an interesting topic. Will this newsletter be stopping? Glad to hear you've got a break coming too, hurray for breaks.

Thanks Satya, I'm really excited to delve into the topic — it's so rich. And no no no, this newsletter will remain as it is with regular essays, interviews and the weekly things. A social life, with friends is a new project to fill the podcasting void I've felt recently. Thanks for clarifying ❤️

Thanks for this post. So True: Things in our life ebb and flow. We move through different seasons. Our priorities and responsibilities shift. Our desires and interests morph. We are limited

Looking forward to this new venture! This topic is near and dear to my heart as I was reminded of who my support system truly is after a traumatic event. Making new friends and keeping old is hard as an adult & to your point, often something that we put on the back burner. I think it’s important to invest in your relationships because it will only pay dividends when you need them ❤️‍🩹

Excited for your new project, Madeleine! I nurture my friendships. They are the relationships that have seen me through life more than any other (my three-decades-long marriage ended a year ago as my own choice, and my women friends kept me afloat). I am also trying to deepen my friendships, even the ones I've had for decades. There is always room to grow. So I look forward to learning more in your new podcast and newsletter.

I’m so excited to see this! As a lifelong introvert, I’ve been actively trying to nourish my social life since recently having a baby, so I don’t become isolated and lonely, or lose my friendships. It’s such a journey! I’m really looking forward to seeing your project unfold and learning from it ❤️
