Adult friendships can feel almost impossible to navigate. Between work, personal goals, healing, relationships, family, and the constant pressure to “be okay,” friendships often fall into the background — even when we don’t want them to.

In this episode of Lydiah en Mouvement: The Podcast, we explore why adult friendships are so hard: the emotional labor, the mismatched effort, the fear of vulnerability, the impact of past hurt, and the reality of growing at different paces.

This is a soft, honest, grounding conversation about community, connection, loneliness, and rebuilding trust. If you’ve ever felt like maintaining friendships as an adult requires more energy than you have — this episode will make you feel seen.
