Friendship IRL: Real Talk About Friendship, Community, and What It Actually Takes

Tired of hearing “just put yourself out there” when it comes to friendship or community? Same.

Friendship IRL is the podcast that skips the fluff and gets real about what it takes to build meaningful adult friendships and lasting support systems. Whether you're struggling to make new friends, maintain old ones, or just want people in your life who really show up, you're in the right place.

Each week, host Alex Alexander brings you honest conversations and tangible strategies to help you connect—for real. You’ll hear stories from everyday people (plus the occasional expert), learn what’s working in modern friendships—and what definitely isn’t—and walk away with ideas, scripts, and action steps you can actually use.

Think of it like a coffee date with your wisest, most encouraging friend—the one who tells the truth and hands you the playbook.

🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday. 💬 Want to share your friendship win or struggle? Leave Alex a voice message at AlexAlex.chat.
