Any of these sound familiar?

● You meet people and think you have good conversations, but then nothing sticks or comes out of it.

You want to make friends as an adult, but your social life does not reflect how thoughtful, capable, and caring you are.

● You feel lonely even though you are trying or know peole.

● You meet people and have decent conversations and connection, but then nothing happens after. You’re not sure know how to turn a good interaction into a real friendship.

● You want deeper adult friendships, but you do not know how to move past small talk without forcing connection or making things uncomfortable.

● You want to invite people to hang out and build friendships, but when the moment comes to suggest plans or follow up, you freeze or second guess yourself.

● You often do not know how to start a conversation without feeling awkward, intrusive, or out of place, especially with people you do not already know.

● Texting and messaging feel stressful. You reread messages, worry about tone, and wonder if you’re being annoying or trying too hard.

Group settings feel overwhelming. You do not know how to enter conversations, when to jump in, or how to exit smoothly without feeling self conscious.

You overthink what to say in social situations. By the time you feel ready, the moment has passed and you leave wishing you had spoken up.

● When someone does not respond, cancels, or says no, you take it personally and pull back, even though you want to keep building friendships. Rejection really impacts you.

● You want close friendships, but you don’t know how much to share or when, so you either stay guarded or open up too fast and regret it later.

If you’ve nodded along to any one of these so far, then you’re in the right place.

Imagine how your life be different if, instead, you…

• You feel grounded and confident approaching people. Starting conversations no longer feels awkward. You trust yourself to open interactions in a warm, natural way.

• Conversations turn into actual friendships. People follow up. Plans happen. Momentum builds without forcing.

• Talking feels easier and more natural. You know how to move past small talk and into real connection without pushing or performing.

• Inviting people feels calm and clear. You suggest plans with ease and feel steady no matter the response.

• Texting feels simple. You send messages without spiraling, rereading, or worrying about how you sound.

• Group settings feel less overwhelming. You know how to join conversations, participate comfortably, and exit without second guessing yourself.

• You speak up more in the moment. You stop replaying missed chances in your head and feel proud of how you show up.

• Rejection loses its grip. A no feels disappointing but manageable, and you stay open instead of shutting down.

• You share yourself with clarity and care. You build closeness at a pace that feels safe, mutual, and sustainable.

If you like the life you envisioned above, (and you’re ready to make an honest effort) then you might be a great fit for this weekly group-coaching social skills practice program.

With that said, if your goal is to create deeper connection and friendships in your life, it’s highly recommended that you make an effort to attend as many live sessions as possible to practice those skills with other Feasters in your cohort. We understand that life gets busy and things come up, so if you miss a session here and there, don’t sweat it! We do recommend you make an effort to come to the first four sessions.

This is also where you can be selected for live 1:1 breakthrough coaching with your connection host, Alex. You will also be paired with different connection accountability buddies, which will be Feasters in your cohort whom you will be encouraged to meet/connect with in-between the live group connection calls.
