About this listen
The Latitude Adjustment Positive Psychology Podcast is a Positive Change Podcast Awards Hall of Fame inductee and the American Writing Awards Podcast of the Year.
Friendship often changes as life moves into its second half. In this episode of The Latitude Adjustment: An Aging Heroes Podcast, Erica and Rusty Harrison explore why meaningful friendships sometimes drift apart over time, why forming new connections can feel surprisingly difficult in adulthood, and why that struggle is completely normal. Through story, psychology, and a few salty harbor metaphors, they unpack how shifting life structures, limited social bandwidth, and our natural desire for deeper relationships reshape friendship after midlife. Most importantly, they offer a simple two-minute Aging Heroes Challenge designed to help you begin building connection again—because in the second half of life, friendship isn’t something you accidentally find anymore, it’s something you intentionally build.
