The Friendship Project

Shaping intentional friendships for joy and belonging in the busy modern world.

Why invest in friendship?

  • Happiness: Friends impact well-being more than your spouse.

  • Health: A solid social network can boost your life expectancy by 50%. Social support offers more health benefits than exercising, beating obesity, or kicking a 15-cigarette a day smoking habit.

  • Well-being: Friends become more important as we get older and are a bigger predictor of health and happiness than family. 

  • Reality Check: Adults lose half their friends every
    seven years.

The Friendship Project is right for you if:

YOU are a woman who is intentional about everything — your career, your health, your home, and your emotional life. You:

  • Work with a personal trainer, coach, or therapist.

  • Network with purpose and invest in professional development.

  • Care about what goes into your body and home (yes, you read the labels!)

  • Have a spiritual practice or use mindset tools to stay grounded.

“I’d love to meet other women who…”

Some connections offer comfort in common ground, while others expand us through new perspectives and role models.  The Friendship Project is a social movement to shape better friendships and a community where your social life comes alive. Together, we nurture both personal well-being and the collective strength of women’s networks.

An 8-week learning circle to build the relational skills and friendship frameworks for our modern lives. Through Friendship Fluency we will shape the culture of our community. We are committed to cultivating safe spaces for women to open up, to learn together, and to support one another through all the ups and downs of life.

Some desires we have heard from our friends: women charting new paths after corporate careers, women who are the primary providers for their families, women redefining their lives after breast cancer, and women looking for meaningful social impact.
