In this listener Q&A episode, I'm sharing three things to consider before assuming someone isn't interested in getting to know you. We'll talk about why some conversations become one-sided, how to create more natural reciprocity, and when it's finally time to have an honest conversation instead of silently wondering if someone even values the friendship.

If you've ever walked away from coffee feeling unseen, exhausted, or wondering, "Why am I always the one asking questions?" this episode is for you.

You've probably heard the advice: "If they don't match your energy, cut them off."

But what if that mindset is actually causing you to lose really good friendships?

In this video, I'm sharing a different perspective after spending the last 15 years studying friendship and sharing more than 500 meals with strangers. We'll talk about why friendship isn't a scoreboard, why reciprocity can quietly become transactional, and what you should be looking for instead when building meaningful relationships.

If your fear of rejection has ever stopped you from reaching out, starting a conversation, or putting yourself out there… this episode is going to challenge everything you think you know.

In this episode, I break down the science behind rejection and why you’re actually not getting rejected nearly as much as you think. Using research from Stanford, insights from the Gottman Institute, and the work of friendship expert Marisa Franco, you’ll see how your brain is exaggerating the risk of rejection—and how that fear is quietly holding you back from the friendships you actually want.
