Most of us aren’t lonely for more interaction, but rather for more intimacy. We don’t need to meet more people, we need to learn how to feel more met. That’s what Frientimacy is all about.”

ROCKLIN, CA, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Shasta Nelson, renowned friendship expert, bestselling author and pioneer in belongingness, announces the launch of her new podcast, “Frientimacy: Finding Our Way to More Fulfilling Friendships.” The podcast, set to debut on June 4th with four episodes, will delve into the complexities of adult friendships, offering listeners valuable insights and strategies for navigating the challenges and reaping the rewards of meaningful social connections.

As the author of three groundbreaking books on adult friendships — “Friendships Don’t Just Happen,” “Frientimacy” and “The Business of Friendship” — Shasta has established herself as a leading voice in the field of social relationships. Her expertise has been sought by major media outlets such as the New York Times, the Today Show and Harvard Business Review and she’s a two-time featured TEDx speaker. With the Frientimacy podcast, Shasta is taking her message to a new platform, offering a candid and relatable look at the joys and struggles of adult friendships.

“We live in an increasingly lonely world. But the solution isn’t just to know more people. Most of us aren’t lonely for more interaction, but rather for more intimacy. We don’t need to meet more people, we need to learn how to feel more met. That’s what Frientimacy is all about,” said Nelson. “Through the Frientimacy podcast, I want to show that the depth we want is sometimes on the other side of hurt and disappointment, and that it’s possible to overcome adversity and emerge with stronger, more fulfilling friendships.”

In each Frientimacy episode, Shasta will go behind the scenes of her own friendships to shed light on their struggles and triumphs, illuminating how overcoming challenges allowed her and her friends to form even stronger bonds. Whether friendship obstacles include jealousy, busyness, ghosting, hurt feelings or changing life stages, Shasta’s insights and advice will help listeners navigate the path to more meaningful connections. By exploring these common friendship obstacles from each friend’s perspective, Shasta aims to inspire and educate listeners on how they might tackle similar issues in their own friendships.

The trailer for “Frientimacy” is available now, offering a sneak peek into the powerful stories and transformative lessons that await listeners. After the June 4th launch, new episodes will be released every Tuesday through the end of September. “Frientimacy” is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
