It's Hard To Build Meaningful Connections As An Introvert
...especially when so much of the advice out there involves:
- Going to lots of new meetups, social events and gatherings (even though doing that leaves you feeling completely drained)
- Having conversations with complete strangers and 'seeing where things go' (even though you literally have no idea who these people are or whether you have anything in common)
- Smiling and 'putting yourself out there' (and if that doesn't work then you're 'too quiet' or not trying hard enough)
- Being available and saying 'yes' whenever someone invites you to do something (even though you prize your alone-time & really don't want to be 'always on')
It's exhausting, it takes a long time to find the people you actually like, and there are no guarantees that they'll want to be friends anyway!
What If There Was A Tried-and-Tested, Introvert-Friendly Way To Build A Thriving Social Circle...?
Not that we have anything against extroverts (we don't!), but let's be honest - we introverts just need something different. I know you're not looking to become a social butterfly! Instead, you want:
- Strategic, intentional ways to create harmonious friendships that go beyond the surface
- Quality over quantity - for you, a few deep friendships is definitely preferable to lots of surface level connections
- To spend your time in low pressure social situations having authentic, meaningful, enjoyable conversations with like-minded people
- Exact instructions on how to navigate specific social situations that you might find yourself in
- To have your thought, care and genuine commitment to your friends mirrored back to you
(There - doesn't that feel better....?)

Hi there!
I'm Hannah Carmichael, an introverted mum-of-one with ADHD and a serious coffee addiction! I'm also a friendship & connection coach with a track record in helping thoughtful, reflective types grow in confidence & achieve transformational changes in the quality of their closest relationships. Now I'm here to help you get the same results, too!
These days I have a life filled with authentic, nourishing, deeply trust-filled friendships. My friends are the kind of people who would fly across the world for me, and I for them.
But it wasn't always that way.
A few years ago, I struggled with lacklustre, surface- level connections. I often felt like I had to be on my 'best behaviour,' for fear of pushing people away, and I really needed help, it often wasn't there in the way I needed it to be. I was exhausted from:
- Trying so hard to 'fit in' so that I would be liked and accepted, even though that meant shutting down parts of the 'real me' that I assumed other people wouldn't appreciate
- Chasing surface-level connections that felt good in the moment, but which didn't leave me with the deep sense of belonging that I craved
- Showing up for people again and again who didn't show up for me in the same way when I needed them
- Beating myself up for not being 'good enough' somehow
Having hit my early thirties often feeling disconnected and alone, even in a crowd, I realised there had to be a better way!
I realised two big things...
Looking around, all I could find were ideas and advice from experts who seemed to come at everything from a really extrovert starting point, and it all felt quite surface-level. I was told I wasn't doing enough to 'put myself out there,' that I wasn't meeting enough people, that I wasn't 'showing people enough of myself,' I even got told I was listening too much at one point! While I absolutely could be outgoing and sociable, I could only keep it going for a couple of hours before feeling completely overwhelmed. And would inevitably just end up feeling exhausted and miserable the next day.
I was in a 'boom-bust' cycle of socialising and spending whole days in bed recovering. I had a constant knot in my stomach, worried that I would end up alone, and a deep sense that I wasn't being authentic or giving other people the chance to know the 'real me.'
It was around that time that I discovered Susan Cain's book 'Quiet: The Power of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking.' I also started to read widely into Brene Brown's research on vulnerability, belonging, and wholehearted connection.
Suddenly everything made sense. I realised that the reason making friends felt so stressful and anxiety-provoking, was that I was trying to do it in a completely extroverted way. And that because so many people seemed to socialise that way, I'd assumed it was 'normal' and that there was something wrong with me. I also realised that if introverts force themselves to make friends in ways that don't feel sustainable, calm and genuine, they end up feeling drained and 'on edge' - and it takes them longer than ever to make real connections.
Introducing The Friendship Accelerator!
That's when it hit me - I had to start 'doing' friendship in a much more introvert-friendly way. So I did! I tried different ways of showing up for myself and others. I laughed, I learnt, I got real about what I was getting right, and what I still needed to learn. I had honest, thought-provoking conversations, and figured out what I really needed, and the limits on what I was truly able to give. Over time, I strengthened and deepened some friendships, and had to let others go. And, I made a whole bunch of new ones, too!
It's this exact approach that I've captured in my Friendship Accelerator programme.
The Friendship Accelerator covers the exact steps that I used to grow a healthy, aligned friendship circle, with the aim of getting you there much more quickly! It's designed exclusively for those who lean towards a more introverted way of managing their social energy, and will help HSPs and those with neurodivergent conditions such as autism or ADHD too.
The Friendship Accelerator is a value-packed programme that everyone can afford (other coaches charge hundreds or even thousands for this kind of support, but I'm committed to making this a programme that anyone who prefers to socialise in a more typically introverted way can access).
When you join, you'll get instant access to everything you need to start confidently working out who your people are, and connecting with them in a meaningful way which doesn't leave you feeling anxious or burnt out.

Who is it for?
The Friendship Accelerator is for two specific groups of people...
1. Introverts who - for whatever reason - want to build new friendships from the ground up. Perhaps old friendships have fallen apart, perhaps they've moved to a new area, perhaps they've decided they need something different from their friendship group, or have never had particularly healthy friendships in the first place. They want to do this in a way that feels consistent, predictable, and which doesn't leave them feeling drained and overwhelmed.
2. Introverts who have people they call friends, but they're not quite sure how they got there - it's like they missed the memo on how to make friends, and ended up there by accident. They sometimes wonder if 'this is it' and would secretly like to know how to build more balanced, supportive, more aligned friendships in a way that doesn't leave them feeling resentful or burned out.
If either of these sounds like you, then you're in the right place!

I love celebrating my members' wins, I also love that this course gives you the opportunity to get life-changing results for the cost of just a couple of coffees per month.

Every part of this programme is designed specifically for introverts, which means it will teach you approaches that feel easier, and are more in line with your strengths. You'll become part of a gentle, supportive community of others like you who understand you and are on a similar journey.
You'll get the space to learn at your own space, with accountability, support and feedback when you want it. And by being here, you'll help others to learn too (because you're thoughtful, caring, and want others to feel okay).
At just £9 (circa $12 USD - around what you'd spend on a couple of coffees) a month, this is incredibly low risk, and you can cancel any time. There's even a 60 day money back guarantee if you're not entirely satisfied!
