In this episode of Thinking About, we’re kicking off a new series of casual conversations with friend of the podcast Heather Drudge! Every other month, we’ll be sitting down for an unfiltered coffee chat – just like the FaceTime calls we have on a regular basis. This episode is all about navigating friendships as an adult, managing energy, and making space for both joy and rest in a busy life.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The highs and lows of the past month – what’s been bringing us joy and what’s been challenging.
• The importance of finding community and nurturing friendships, especially as an adult.
• How energy management plays a role in daily life and why small habits (like taking a break or going for a walk) can make a huge difference.
• The balance of being social while also honoring rest, because you can do both!
• Why recognizing and trusting your gut is key to making aligned decisions.
• How having the right friends in your corner can help you see your own growth.
• Practical advice for making new friends as an adult (without it feeling awkward).
