How to Start Over: Making Friends & Finding Hobbies as an Adult

Parmis Najmi Episode 53

Making friends as an adult can feel… impossible. Everyone’s busy, routines are set, and the effortless connection we once had in school seems like a distant memory. In this episode, Parmis dives into the reality of post-adult loneliness and what it really takes to build community again — especially if you’re introverted, anxious, or feel like everyone already has their circle.

From rediscovering hobbies that actually bring you joy (without turning them into side hustles) to finding low-pressure ways to meet new people, Parmis breaks down how to start over in your social life with confidence and ease. You’ll learn how to:

  • Redefine what hobbies mean in adulthood
  • Build “social momentum” as an introvert
  • Handle rejection and awkwardness with grace
  • Create a lifestyle that naturally attracts genuine friendships

Whether you’ve just moved cities, feel disconnected, or simply want to find your people again, this episode is your gentle reminder that it’s never too late to start fresh — and have fun doing it.

Listen now to learn how to make new friends, find new hobbies, and rebuild connection in your adult life.
