Let's hit pause on the book discussions and dive into friendships. Friendship isn't always easy, and in this episode we're getting honest about it all. From the friendships that shaped us to the ones we had to leave behind, we're sharing our own experiences, laughing through the chaos, and reflecting on the lessons we've learned along the way. We dive into friendship scenarios, talk about red flags, healthy boundaries, loyalty, and the moments that made us rethink what a true friendship really looks like. Along the way, we share plenty of stories, laughs, and a few friendship "therapy session" moments that we know so many of you will relate to. Whether you've lost a friend, found your people, or are just here for the laughs, we hope this conversation reminds you that friendships can be messy, meaningful, and worth learning from. We'd love to hear from you in the comments: What's the biggest lesson a friendship has taught you? What's your biggest friendship green flag? Have you ever had to walk away from a friendship?
