How to make good friends: supercharge your social life for happiness & love

A live webinar for the person who's done pretending they don't want more.

Can I tell you something I hear all the time?

"I just don't know how to make friends as an adult. It feels so weird to even try."

And what I always want to say back is: "I know. Me too." And also, "you are so not alone in this".

There's something nobody tells you about adult life: the friendships you assumed would just... show up? They don't always. People get busy, life gets complicated, and suddenly you're surrounded by coworkers and acquaintances and a whole lot of surface-level small talk. But not by a lot of people who actually know your heart.

That longing you feel for something deeper? It's not neediness. It's human.

This webinar is for you if:

• You've moved somewhere new and haven't found your people yet

• You have "friends" but nobody you'd call at 2am

• Making new friends feels awkward and you don't even know where to start

• You've been burned before and you're a little afraid to try again

• You know that the right friendships would change everything: your happiness, your confidence, even your love life

Here's what we're going to explore together:

I've spent years studying human connection. Not just in books, but in real life, running a community called Filled Cups right here in Charlotte. And for this webinar, I'm bringing together the best insights from four incredible books: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, Friendships Don't Just Happen by Shasta Nelson, Platonic by Dr. Marisa Franco, and How to Know a Person by David Brooks. I'm translating them into something you can actually use.

We'll talk about why friendships feel so much harder now (it's not you), what it actually takes to build real closeness, how to show up in a way that draws people in, and how deeper connections ripple out into every part of your life (including romance).

This isn't a lecture. It's a conversation. Expect warmth, honesty, maybe a few laughs, and at least one "oh wow, that's me" moment.

Save your seat!
