26. Stay-at-Home Moms: Beat the Loneliness! Practical Tips for Building Friendships

Her Next Chapters

In a recent conversation with a stay-at-home mom who is ready to restart her career, I asked her why getting a job was important to her. Her answer initially surprised me, but after thinking about it, her answer 100% made sense.
Having a job would mean she’d have friends.
Our conversation reminded me how lonely being a full-time stay-at-home mom can be. In this episode, I explore how my social connections changed throughout the different parenting stages, from all-consuming infancy with sleepless nights to high schoolers with the independence that comes with their driver’s license. And now upon entering the beginning of the empty nest phase, what I’m doing to expand my social circle ironically mirrors what I did when I first became a stay-at-home mom.
Listen to hear some strategies to strengthen your social network (which can also enhance your job search!) According to the Harvard research highlighted in the most recent Mel Robbins podcast, your health, happiness and longevity depend on it.
