S2 E7: The Floater Friend Experience & the Desire to Belong

This week, Jess and Karli dive into the surprisingly common but rarely talked about experience of being a “floater friend.” What does it mean to feel like you have friends but aren’t part of a core group? How do comparison, life milestones, and past experiences shape that feeling? They unpack the vulnerability of wanting to feel chosen, the challenges of initiating friendships, and how even people with close-knit friend groups can relate. Plus, they recap a busy and fulfilling week, including their Only Human Pilates event at Pulse Yoga & Fitness and a live show for the seniors at Karli’s alma mater.
