According to The Atlantic, Building a close friendship typically requires more than 200 hours of shared time over approximately six weeks.
Yikes, that’s a lot of time to carve out when you’re juggling your career, family and trying to live a healthy lifestyle…
…plus if you’re going to nurture a friendship you want one that lifts you up, inspires you and supports you along the way.
Sadly – I see too many clients being brought down by non-mutually beneficial friendships and relationships.
Life is too short not to have quality people in your life!
AND…if you’re feeling like making friends over 40 is impossible – you’re not alone!
When I moved to Central Wisconsin from Washington State in 2021 this phenomenon hit me hard.
While I have family and a long term bestie close by in Wisconsin, I longed for my social circle I had curated for over a decade in Tacoma.
Much of my “crew” in Tacoma are a mix of folks in the health and wellness industry from MaryAnn a nurse, Shannon my Nurse Practitioner buddy, to Becky my go-to Physical Therapist, Jill my hair stylist and Kristen my chiropractor pal.
I’m blessed to have a lot of friends in Washington, too many to list and I love them all.
They are a huge reason why I keep my business going strong in Washington State despite living in Wisconsin.
When I went to a virtual business model I realized I had no idea how to make friends online and it felt like navigating high school social circles all over again!
This is where my business coach, Selena Soo, saved the day and gifted me a draft copy of her business relationship building book Rich Relationships.
(Side note – for my Tacoma peeps – fun fact: Selena went to Annie Wright Girls School.)
I digress …
Going into Selena’s book I was excited to learn how to make business connections and friends online.
What I learned instead surprised me.
Rich Relationships is a manual for making friends in all aspects of life – no business required!
One of my key take-a-ways – connection isn’t about collecting more people—it’s about nurturing the right ones.
Friendship isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s a key to energy, hormone balance, and even longevity.
If you’ve been reading my emails for a while you know I talk about energy vampires in your life – Selena shows you how to ditch them and repel them going forward!
If you’ve been craving deeper connection (but aren’t sure where to start & fear getting burned), this is your sign.
You don’t have to own your own business to glean nuggets of wisdom from Selena’s book.
It’s a business relationship building book that applies to navigating friendships that lift you up, inspire you and dare I say – have the potential to boost your longevity since social circles influence quality of life!
I wish I had her book in middle school to help me navigate all the social circle drama back then and set me up for creating solid relationships in the future!

PS: I do not make any $ from recommending this book. I see how non-mutually benefitting friendships can mess with your health. This book helped me to ditch a few folks that weren’t “true friends” and were instead stressing me out. I want this for you too!
PPS: The biggest opportunities still come from people… not from trying to hack an algorithm.
