Why is adult friendship so hard—and what can we do about it?

If you've ever felt like making friends as an adult is way harder than it should be, you're not alone. In this episode of Living in the Miracle Zone, Marci Shimoff sits down with filmmaker and author Barnet Bain to unpack the real reason we struggle with friendship today—and what it actually takes to build meaningful, lasting relationships in a divided world.

We talk about the hidden pain of adult loneliness, how our culture trains us to wear masks, and why so many people feel emotionally disconnected—despite being more "connected" than ever. This isn't just theory. It's practical. It's raw. It's real talk about real friendship.

You'll learn:

- Why most friendships stay surface-level

- How to build deep, emotionally safe connections

- The difference between being present and trying to "fix"

- Why self-friending is the key to all your relationships

- And how to show up with intention and heart—no matter what the world throws at you

If this hits home, share it with someone who needs it. Because real friendship still matters.

What if death isn't the end… but the most beautiful part of life?
In this episode of Your Year of Miracles, we sit down with the incredible Julie Ryan — psychic medium, medical intuitive, bestselling author, and one of the clearest spiritual communicators alive — to talk about what really happens when we die, how to tap into intuition, and how to live in a state of miracle-driven flow.

👉 If you've ever asked:
- What happens in the moments before we die?
- Can I talk to loved ones who've passed?
- How do I know if my thoughts are intuitive or just fear?
- Can anyone develop psychic or healing abilities?

…this is your episode.

Julie shares wild (but real) stories from 30+ years of spiritual work — including being visited by a dead Pope, guiding people through the 12 phases of transition, and literally seeing her own broken bones before the X-rays.

She breaks it all down with clarity and warmth — no fluff, no weird woo without the why.

You'll learn how to activate your intuitive gifts, how to use her 2-minute rule to kill anxiety, and how to call in any spirit (Einstein? Elvis? Grandma? Yup, all of them).

This episode will shift your perspective on life, death, healing, purpose, and how to stop living small.
