Khushi Jadhav, podcast host and storyteller, explores one of life’s most universal yet often overlooked challenges: making friends as an adult. While childhood and school naturally provide opportunities for connection, adulthood presents barriers of time, trust, and vulnerability. Drawing on her experiences as a podcast host, Khushi reflects on the ways we form bonds later in life, the misconceptions we carry about friendship, and how intentional effort can lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships. Her talk invites us to rethink friendship not as something that simply happens, but as something we can actively create, nurture, and prioritise - no matter our age. Khushi Jadhav is the voice behind Two Factor, a podcast that’s all about raw, unfiltered conversations. Known for her ability to talk to literally anyone - from strangers to matchmakers - Khushi creates space for honest stories, controversial takes, and unexpected perspectives. Whether it’s funny, deep, awkward or real, if it’s a conversation, she’s in. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
