Hi there, I’m Madison!

I’m a friendship enthusiast, researcher, and coach. But first, I’m a friend who’s been through it all (well, mostly!)… toxic friendships, cross-country friendships, friendship break-ups and shake-ups and everything in between.

Through my real-world research, personal experience, and raw conversations with hundreds of women, I know we all envision more for our friendships. Together, we can help you make and keep meaningful friendships that last.

Why Flourishing Friend?

  • Science shows that the only clear differentiator for happiness is spending time with others, yet when was the last time someone taught you how to be a good friend? If you’re like me, never.

  • Statistically, friendships take 3 months to create and 300 hours to develop. But how often does your culture tell you friendships should be easy and effortless? If you’re like me, always.

  • We live in a world that cherishes and obsesses over romantic love - the books, movies, articles - but where do we go for our friendships? If you’re like me, I didn’t know.

Flourishing Friend is the community I always wanted, but never had. The research I knew should exist, but couldn’t find. The advice I needed, but nobody was sharing (just yet).We’re so glad you’re here with us!
