Summary

There are few things that can feel more challenging than making friends as an adult。 Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston address common obstacles to true connection and offer a confessional, hilarious, and practical guide for building friendships in the middle of this crazy, rollercoaster life。

If you've ever wondered why it seems like such a struggle to make and maintain friendships as an adult--it's not just you。 The number of Americans who claim to have no close friends has drastically increased over the last few decades。 Loneliness doesn't care what age you are, how many Instagram followers you have, or where you call home。 It doesn't care how "put together" you appear to the outside world。 Women have a collective wound that only authentic sisterhood can heal。

In I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants), Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, creators of the popular online community "Sister, I Am With You," offer an-easy-to-follow  road map to the place we all desperately want to be--standing beside other women who see us, know us, and love us for who we truly are。 With hilariously relatable vulnerability and actionable steps we can all take today to build deep and satisfying friendships, Amy and Jess show us how to


break free from unhealthy habits that block us from connection;
find the confidence to live freely and without fear of rejection; and
intentionally pursue friends in everyday life。 
I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants) won't talk down to us, or boss us around。 It won't tell us to simply "find your people" and then leave us feeling even more discouraged than before。 This book will snuggle up beside us, grab a fuzzy blanket, and say "Let me show you how to do it。 I’ve been there too。 It’s hard, but it’s not impossible, and it’s so much better together。"
