About this listen

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 constantly 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 constantly 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 you a band-aid to your 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.

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

  • Don’t discount the fertilizer seasons
  • Get cozy and comfortable with awkward
  • Boundaries are our friends and our friends’ friends
  • What you can expect will kill friendships
  • Keeping the faith when your community landscape changes for the worse
  • I love my friend to pieces, but I don't like her ____________ (i.e. Politics, Parenting Style, Husband, etc.)
  • When a friendship ends without your say-so
  • Rejection sucks, but don't let it suck you down to a bad place
  • Making friends by opening up
  • Making friends by praying up
  • The friend who never fails in friendships

It’s not just you. Making friends is hard! But it doesn’t have to be impossible. As a longtime military wife who repeatedly learned to create her own community from the ground up, Kristen Strong wants to help you recover from rejection and find your people.
