Friendship Is One of Life's Most Important Relationships—So Why Don't We Celebrate It?

We celebrate birthdays.
We celebrate engagements.
We celebrate weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, graduations, and retirements.

But what about the woman who stood beside you through every one of those moments?

In this thought-provoking episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie ask a simple question that changes the way we think about friendship:

Why don't we celebrate our best friends the way we celebrate every other important relationship in our lives?

Inspired by Jennifer's experience owning a wedding chapel and witnessing hundreds of couples exchange vows, they explore why society has built traditions around romantic love—but has almost no rituals for honoring the women who helped us become who we are.

Together they discuss:

• Why female friendship is one of life's foundational relationships
• Why romantic relationships are celebrated while lifelong friendships are often overlooked
• The hidden cost of letting romantic relationships replace your friendships
• Why every woman needs friends who can support her through life's hardest seasons
• How speaking your gratitude out loud can transform a friendship
• Why we assume our best friends already know how much they mean to us
• The emotional impact of celebrating a friendship while your best friend is still here to hear it
• Why we should stop waiting until funerals to tell people what they meant to us

Jennifer and Jackie also share personal stories about nearly forty years of friendship, navigating marriage, growing apart and finding each other again, and how those experiences inspired them to create Bestiemony®—a ceremony dedicated to celebrating lifelong friendships.

Because maybe friendship doesn't need to become a marriage...

Maybe it simply deserves the same gratitude.

If this episode made you think of your best friend, don't wait.

Call her.

Write the letter.

Plan the dinner.

Tell her what she means to you while she's still here to hear it.
