This week, in our season finale, the Pals sit down with Nina Badzin (@dearninafriendship) for a powerful and heartfelt season finale all about the foundation of this entire podcast: friendship.

From the messy, dramatic, hilarious, ride-or-die bonds that shaped us, to the complicated seasons when friendships shift, stretch, or fade, this episode dives deep into what it means to truly show up for one another. We open up about our own friendships, the highs, lows, misunderstandings, reconnections, and the kind of love that keeps us rooted through every chapter of life.

Nina guides the conversation with warmth, wisdom, and real-talk honesty, helping us understand how friendship evolves, how to communicate better, and how to nurture the connections that matter most. Whether you’re celebrating your closest people or navigating a friendship crossroads, this episode offers clarity, comfort, and plenty of “OMG SAME” moments.

In this episode of The Pudding Pals Podcast, we cover:

• The different seasons of friendship

• Why adult friendships feel so hard and so important

• Navigating conflict and repair with the people you love
