Episode 17 - Didn’t Show Up: When Friends Ghost Your Biggest Moments

What do you do when your best friend doesn’t show up for one of the biggest days of your life—and doesn’t even call? In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie unpack the sting, confusion, and heartbreak of being ghosted by the person you thought would always have your back.

Inspired by a listener’s real story—her best friend bailed on her courthouse wedding with a last-minute “I’m not emotionally well” text—Jennifer and Jackie dive into the messy gray area between mental health, grace, and accountability. Is “I wasn’t emotionally available” a valid excuse or just a cop-out? And how do you forgive someone who didn’t even text you on your wedding day... but was at brunch the next morning?

In This Episode:

• What “showing up” really means in friendship [03:00]
• The difference between grace and enabling [06:30]
• When mental health becomes a mask for selfishness [09:10]
• How to process disappointment without losing yourself [12:40]
• Setting new boundaries when trust is broken [17:15]
• Why loyalty and presence matter more than perfection [21:45]
• The moment you realize who your real best friends are [24:00]

Because real friendship isn’t always fun—it’s about showing up when it counts, even when you don’t feel like it.

Episode 16 - You Don’t Have to Like Her: When You Can’t Stand Your Bestie’s Other Friends

Description:
We’ve all been there—you adore your best friend, but cannot stand one of her other friends. Maybe she’s loud, shady, competitive, or just not your vibe. Do you say something? Stay quiet? Protect the peace—or protect your energy?

In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie get real about the awkward, complicated, and totally relatable tension that shows up when your bestie’s friend just isn’t your cup of tea. From fake smiles at dinner to passive-aggressive comments at parties, they break down how to navigate the “friendship triangle” without losing yourself—or your bestie.

In This Episode:

• Why it feels so personal when your bestie loves someone you don’t [04:15]
• The difference between jealousy and intuition [07:50]
• Fake nice vs. passive aggressive (and who’s better at which) [12:20]
• How group dynamics shift when triangles turn toxic [18:40]
• Why you don’t have to be friends with all your friends’ friends [23:05]
• How to say “I don’t vibe with her” without wrecking your friendship [28:30]
• The power of secure friendships that can survive honesty [32:00]

Because let’s be real: sometimes the hardest triangle isn’t a love triangle—it’s a friendship one.

Episode 15 - The Motherhood Drift: When Life Pulls Best Friends Apart

Description:
Not every friendship ends with a fight. Sometimes, it just drifts. In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into the quiet heartbreak of friendships that change when one friend becomes a mother and the other doesn’t.

From unanswered texts and missed invites to the unspoken wall that rises between diapers and happy hours, we unpack what it feels like on both sides of the motherhood divide. Jennifer shares her experience of becoming a mom before her friends, while Jackie reflects on being the ride-or-die bestie without kids at the time.

Together, we talk about:

• Why the drift happens (and why it’s not always personal)
• The guilt moms feel when their worlds shift overnight
• How single or childfree friends may feel left behind
• The importance of extending invitations—even if you think they’ll say no
• Why seasons of life don’t erase the bond of true besties

If you’ve ever felt the sting of growing apart—or the joy of reconnecting years later—this episode is for you. Because sometimes it’s not a breakup, it’s just a drift.
