It's All About Relationships Part 3- Connection Beyond the Surface with Kelley Gray
If you’ve ever felt your friendships shift as life changes—like when your kids leave the nest, your schedule empties (or overflows), or you crave connection beyond surface-level chats—this episode will speak to you deeply. For this podcast conversation, we turn the tables with Kelley Gray interviewing Heather. It is a warm, honest conversation about adult friendships: the longing for deeper bonds, the awkwardness of reaching out, and the vulnerability of naming what you need. We talk about “friendship shopping,” the courage to say “I’m lonely,” and how to create space for relationships that feel mutual, spiritual, and real. Whether you’re navigating grief, a season of transition, or simply trying to figure out who your people are now, this episode is like a heart-to-heart with a trusted friend. You’ll hear about the power of showing up—sometimes with a meal, sometimes with silence, and sometimes just with presence. We’ll unpack how crises can either rupture or deepen relationships and how honesty, intention, and grace can carry friendships through hard seasons. If you’ve ever felt shame around changing connections or wondered how to “date” new friends as an adult, this episode gives you language, permission, and hope. Tune in for encouragement, laughter, and wisdom. You’re not alone in this, and your next meaningful friendship might be one brave conversation away.
Step into The Life You're Made For, I'm cheering you on!
