Navigating Friendships In Different Life Stages with My Friend Deanna

In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Deanna, to talk honestly about what it's like navigating friendships across different life stages. She opens up about being single & childfree while most of our friend group is deep in marriage and motherhood, the emotions that came up early on with it, and how they’ve shifted as she's gotten older. We talk about the importance of celebrating wins, how to approach hard conversations as friends, and what it’s like being the best aunt to our friends’ kids.
