Featured in TIME- The Secret to Stronger Friendships: Ask Better Questions

Most conversations stay at the surface.
Quick updates. Easy answers. Nothing that really lands.

But connection doesn’t come from knowing what someone did this week.
It comes from understanding how they’re actually experiencing their life.

As I shared recently:
“We get so caught up in the day-to-day.”

That’s what keeps conversations stuck.

The shift is smaller than people think. You don’t need better stories or more time.
You just need one better question.

Something slightly deeper than “How are you?”

Because that’s what changes the dynamic.
It moves conversations from updates to connection.

If you want to feel closer to your friends, start there.

I break this down more in my recent feature with TIME.
It’s worth the read when you have a minute!
