On Making, Maintaining and Letting Go Of Friends In Our 30s and 40s | Ep 114

On the heals of a very significant friendship ending for me in the last few years, the nature of friendship — what drives our friendships, what they look like, how our relational patterns manifest in this space (i.e. outside of romance) — has been of particular interest to me.

Today I'm joined by my dear Catherine Zack, a friend made in the last few years but a really close one (something we'll get into in today's episode). We dig into a variety of things around friendship, including:

• How does friendship change in your 30s and 40s?
• The role of friends in relation to our marriages (Hint: They're really necessary)
• How connection and socializing looks different in the midst of really busy lives — and how that's ok
• How friends can (and should) have different roles
• The evolving nature of childhood, college and earlier life friends
• How motherhood impacts friendship
• The ending of friendships

....and more. It's a sweet, juicy, conversation between....dear, newish, friends.
