Leveled Up Friendships Mon, 28 Sep 2026 04:33:24 -0400 http://accidentallyintentionalpod.com en-us © 2026 Leveled Up Friendships yes Support this Podcast 00a3bf7c-968d-5db9-a37b-36f37d0fcf4f Zoe Asher episodic false Leveled Up Friendships is a show for adults who want richer, more meaningful friendships — but sense that something about their relationships isn’t quite working the way they hoped.

Maybe conversations feel surface-level. Maybe you’re always the one reaching out. Maybe a friendship feels tense, draining, or confusing and you’re not sure why. Or maybe you simply want friendships that are deeper, more honest, and more supportive than the ones you currently have.

On this show, host Zoe Asher explores the real dynamics behind adult friendships — the unspoken expectations, awkward conversations, misunderstandings, emotional blind spots, and growth moments that shape our relationships.

Through honest reflection, practical questions, and real-life examples, Zoe helps listeners become more self-aware and intentional in how they show up as a friend. Because the fastest way to improve your friendships isn’t trying to change everyone around you — it’s learning how to level up the kind of friend you are.

Episodes explore topics like navigating difficult conversations, repairing strained friendships, recognizing one-sided dynamics, reconnecting with old friends, setting healthy expectations, and building friendships that can handle honesty and growth.


If you’ve ever wondered:

-Why do some friendships fade while others grow stronger?
-Why do certain relationship patterns keep repeating?
-How do you build friendships that actually last?

You’re in the right place.

Because great friendships don’t happen accidentally. They level up when we do.

I moved to a brand-new city knowing literally no one, and making friends has been harder than I expected. Some people haven't wanted to talk. Some haven't been looking for new friends. And I've had to confront one of the hardest realities of adult friendship: not everyone is going to want to be your friend.

But what if that's actually useful information?

In this episode, I'm sharing the real experiences I've had trying to make friends in a new city, dealing with friendship rejection, meeting people as an adult, finding community, overcoming the fear of rejection, and learning how to stop taking every failed connection personally.

If you're struggling to make friends as an adult, feeling lonely, starting over in a new city, or wondering why making friends feels so hard, this episode is for you.

You found this video because the thing you want most is to find happiness in your relationships, and also in your own life. And maybe that's because you are currently NOT happy. Or want to be happier. You're not alone. In fact...this is me too. Here's the good news. In this video, we are discussing the 3 key ingredients to becoming happier, and also the 4 necessary goals one needs to have in their pursuit of happiness - straight from the research and science of happiness directly! Let's go.

A lot of what was discussed in this episode is from the work and research of Dr. Arthur Brooks, the Harvard Happiness Professor who has spent decades of his life researching happiness, and also wrote the NYT Best-Selling book " From Strength To Strength" and now just recently co-authored a book with Oprah: "Build The Life You Want."

If you want to hear more from Dr. Arthur Brooks, I recommend his Diary Of A CEO podcast episode and his interview on the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast.

I am having the hardest time focusing and being disciplined lately, but maybe you're in the same boat! I invite my friend Jay Ly onto the pod and we have a conversation that goes from focus, to discipline, to leadership, to what bosses can do to help their employees focus, and much more. I think everyone will be able to relate to at least one aspect of this conversation, so we are thrilled to have you be a part of it!

The book Jay mentions mid way through the episode is called "Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance."

Give Jay a follow on Instagram @gcfinancialfreedom, and thank him for being a part of this episode! He is a leadership coach, a personal finance coach...and honestly...he is practically a life coach too. I can attest from firsthand experience! He's an unbelievable encourager and if you're looking for some sort of coach to help take you to the next level...I give Jay my highest recommendation!

]]> To be honest...this episode was for me LOL. I am having the hardest time focusing and being disciplined lately, but maybe you're in the same boat! I invite my friend Jay Ly onto the pod and we have a conversation that goes from focus, to discipline, to leadership, to what bosses can do to help their employees focus, and much more. I think everyone will be able to relate to at least one aspect of this conversation, so we are thrilled to have you be a part of it!

The book Jay mentions mid way through the episode is called "Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance."

Give Jay a follow on Instagram @gcfinancialfreedom, and thank him for being a part of this episode! He is a leadership coach, a personal finance coach...and honestly...he is practically a life coach too. I can attest from firsthand experience! He's an unbelievable encourager and if you're looking for some sort of coach to help take you to the next level...I give Jay my highest recommendation!

Whether it's an injury, not feeling capable, needing to modify an exercise etc, we ALL let some sort of physical limitation stop us from time to time. But, what if those physical limitations can actually become a surprising strength?

I chat with my good friend and personal trainer, Deanna Dicesere about her own experience with amniotic band syndrome, living her whole life with what many perceive to be a "disability" or a physical limitation, and how that very "limit" has actually propelled her forward into becoming the fitness instructor she is today. It is an inspiring story, and one that will surely FIRE YOU UP.

It's time to stop letting physical limitations hold you back. Whether you are a new mom, an injured athlete, someone that has a physical handicap of sorts, or just hasn’t wanted to make physical health and fitness a priority lately, this episode is really for everyone, so let's dive in!

Worse yet, have you competed against a friend, and end up being put in the awkward position of wanting to celebrate their success and achievement, while grieving the fact that you cannot celebrate for yourself? A tricky situation indeed, and one that I was thrilled to unpack with my firsthand experience with my new friend Candace Collins (@cannace on IG) ! We literally met and became friends the day we both auditioned and competed against one another for a gig!

I think you will find this conversation intriguing, and uplifting as well, as we challenge one another to have the hard conversation, grieve AND celebrate at the same time, and never let someone else's success deter us from chasing down our own.

Go give Candace a follow on instagram @cannace , where you will find her speaking candidly about Jesus, mental health, finances, and the ups and downs of motherhood (which include insanely adorable videos and pics of her daughter Lincoln!)

]]> It's a spooky time to be alive folks! Oh, wrong ghosting pun...my bad. But honestly, ghosting culture is pretty much the NORM nowadays...and it isn't just reserved for people who are on dating apps. This happens in all forms of relationships! Today, I brought in one of the most bubbly people I know -- Delta Flight Attendant Kristen Clary -- to discuss our own personal experiences ghosting others, and being ghosted ourselves. We unpack some unmet expectations, hurt feelings, hilarious stories, and lessons learned to help us moving forward!

This will be a conversation that hopefully keeps you smiling and laughing along with us as we discuss and navigate these experiences for the first time on the mic!

In this conversation, which is more of an interview style, I sit down with one of my friends Taylor Hiott, who quit his job as a computer salesman 3 years ago, to create what is now a massive consulting company teaching people how to sell products on Amazon.

You may have seen him acting like a goofball with a pink towel on his head in a (now viral) video advertisement for his company, but today we pull back the curtain and see a side of Taylor that few have ever seen before. We get personal and discuss what drives him, what frustrates him most, what his dreams and goals actually entail, and the type of person he believes can achieve their own definition of "success." He has so much wisdom for those who are currently trying to pursue a dream and enter uncharted waters along the way.

Sorry for the echoed audio at the beginning!

Be on the look out for his book "Launch Then Build" coming soon!
