À propos de cet audio

If you've ever been tempted to put a sign in your front yard advertising for new friends, scream or sob in frustration over a "friend's" hot and cold behavior, or cringe at the memory of awkward friendship encounters, you can trust Kristen Strong's decades of experience at regularly relocating and remaking friends to provide both solid hope and practical direction to try again to find the friends you need.

In Desperate Woman Seeks Friends, Kristen Strong offers her two decades of experience as a regularly relocating military spouse and one decade as a settled civilian to address head on the crisis facing women today in startling numbers: an acute loneliness and isolation due to a lack of friends and community.

Often, social media will give a band-aid for loneliness, but looking to social media to be your only source of friendship is like relying on breadcrumbs as a steady diet for dinner: it won't nourish or satisfy. Unless some of those online connections turn into real-life ones, they're no substitute for in-person friendships.

Research shows friends are as important for our overall welfare as healthy eating habits and a good night's sleep, and Kristen gives you a game plan for getting your friendship groove back. Chapters include:

  • Boundaries are our friends and our friends' friends
  • What you can expect will kill friendships
  • I love my friend to pieces, but I don't love her views on ____________
  • When a friendship ends without your say-so
  • Rejection sucks, but don't let it suck you down
  • Your top-notch tool for building your friendships
  • Making friends by opening up
  • Your Friend who never fails in friendships

It's not just you. Making friends is hard! But it's not impossible. Through tell-it-like-it-is talk and vulnerable stories, Kristen wants to help you be a good friend to others and to yourself through principles and practices that give life to your friendships. And she wants to show you that while friends may fail you, your Friend Jesus never will. You're meant to have lasting friendships that feed your heart and soul—you are not the exception.

Ce que les critiques en disent

'Desperate Woman Seeks Friends: Real Talk About Connection, Rejection, and Trying Again for the Friendships You Need is just that: real talk, honest, humorous, tender, and true. In a world characterized by loneliness, transiency, and the oftentimes rewarding but ultimately unsatisfying experience of virtual connection, this book makes a compelling case for face-to-face relationships, not only as the antidote to isolation, but for the sake of a healthy, meaningful life. Refusing to mince words on the personal responsibility required to cultivate and care for the kindred spirits in our lives, Kristen lovingly mentors her readers through the challenges, pitfalls, and rewards of modern friendship. Especially valuable are her insights on boundaries--setting our own and respecting other people's--while her candor over personal friendship failures and successes exemplify the vulnerability she espouses in our closest relationships. With wisdom, humor, and a voice as warm as a Midwestern summer day, this book is an ally, an older sister, and an arm around the shoulder for those who feel the lack of friendship in their lives but don't know where to start. As Kristen points out, we all need friends who will love us for who we are while challenging us out of our comfort zones; friends who will celebrate our successes, enter into our sorrows, and always believe the best of us while cherishing a vision for our best selves. In offering this book, Kristen is exactly that kind of friend.'
'As a marriage and family therapist, I've noticed a shift in my practice in recent years: My clients of all ages express distress and confusion over their friendships more than ever before. It's a common struggle. But it can also be an isolating struggle as we wonder, 'Should friendship be this hard?', 'Is it just me?' or worse, 'Is something wrong with me?' With disarming humor, sharp insights, and practical wisdom, Kristen addresses aspects of friendship we often avoid, but need to be talking about. And Kristen Strong is absolutely the woman to lead this conversation. This book was written for such a time as this!'
