Do You Really Have Friends? Midlife Friendship with Ricki Radosh (Part 1 of 4)

Making Friends in Midlife mini-series

This is part one of a four-part mini-series on making friends in midlife, all drawn from one conversation with writer and happiness coach Ricki Radosh. We start with the most basic question of all: do you really have the friends you think you do? Ricki shares how she spent decades certain she had no friends, and the moment a shelf of old scrapbooks proved her own story wrong.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The “I have no friends” belief Ricki carried from age thirteen, and where it came from
• The scrapbook moment that showed her the gap between what she believed and what was actually true
• Why we measure real friendships against an imagined picture of what friendship “should” look like
• Ricki’s Name It, Frame It, Claim It method, and the one small action that changed everything
• Why reaching out first feels risky, and what the research says about how much people actually want to hear from us
• Two honest ways to change your friendship story, whether you have more friends than you thought or you simply want more
