How do you make friends as an adult without it feeling awkward? Why does it seem so much harder than it was when we were kids? And how do you take a friendship from surface-level small talk to something deeper and more meaningful?

This week, Sarah is diving into all things adult friendships—answering your questions about connection, vulnerability, and what it really takes to form lasting relationships. She’s breaking down the biggest misconceptions about making friends as a grown-up, exploring the fine line between independence and emotional openness, and sharing practical ways to strengthen your friendships—especially for men who want to move past the usual "sports and work" conversations. Plus, she’s got some fascinating research on just how long it actually takes to build a true, meaningful bond.

In a world that feels more uncertain than ever, fear may be the logical response. But does it have to run the show? This week on This Changes Everything, Sarah sits down with Marlon Morgan, founder and CEO of Wellness Together, for a deep dive into fear—why we feel it, how it shapes us, and how we can move through it with the help of real, meaningful connections.

Marlon shares how deep relationships help us regulate fear and introduces the concept of "yes, and" relationships—taking a page from improv to build trust, reciprocity, and resilience. They also break down how modern life magnifies fear and what we can do to stay connected instead of consumed. If you’ve ever wondered how to feel safer, more grounded, and more connected, this episode is for you.

How do you navigate a relationship when you know it has an expiration date? Should you set boundaries to protect your heart, or just let yourself feel everything?

And how do you stop overthinking every little thing when you're getting to know someone new and just enjoy the ride?

This week, Sarah’s tackling these complex relationship dilemmas with honesty, insight, and a little tough love. Whether you're dealing with heartbreak, trust issues, or an overactive mind that won’t let you relax into a new connection, she’s here to help you navigate it all!

Not all fights are created equal—some bring you closer, and some just make a mess. This week, Sarah breaks down what fair fighting actually looks like (and what it definitely doesn’t), sharing her best tips and strategies for handling conflict in a healthier way. Then, she answers some of your questions about conflict: one from someone who always cries during arguments, another from someone struggling with a partner who fights louder (and meaner), and a sibling trying to navigate constant battles with their brother over their aging parents. Let’s make conflict productive instead of destructive!
