No Time for Drama: Adult Friendships, Social Energy & Protecting Your Peace With Dhara Mistry

Episode Overview

Friendships in your 30s hit different. The late-night calls turn into early-morning coffee chats, the friend circle shrinks (for the better), and setting boundaries becomes non-negotiable. In this episode of Unscripted with Karishma Patel, I sit down with Dhara Mistry to talk about meeting new people, making meaningful connections, and why it’s okay to say no.

We dive into how friendships evolve as we grow, the challenges of forming new connections in adulthood, and the importance of protecting your social energy. If you’ve ever struggled with outgrowing friendships, feeling drained by certain relationships, or finding your people, this episode is for you.
