237. This week, I’m reflecting on two powerful affirmations from Louise Hay—one centered on connection with others, and the other on the beauty of being your own best friend. We often think of friendship as something external, but true connection begins within. In this episode, I explore how nourishing solitude can inspire a deeper relationship with yourself—and in turn, allow you to show up more openly and generously in your friendships with others. I’ll share personal insights, journal prompts, and ways to strike a meaningful balance between togetherness and self-nourishment. Whether you’re craving more intimacy with others or seeking peace in your own company, this episode invites you to consider: What kind of friendship are you creating with yourself?

235. Who do you consider a lifelong friend? Someone you’ve known for decades? A newer friend you feel deeply bonded to? In the final episode of The Heart of Friendship series—celebrating connection, sisterhood, and shared growth—I chat with my dear friend Michelle, who I’ve been friends with since we were 16, for a heartfelt, funny, and honest conversation about what it means to grow up and older together. We share behind-the-scenes stories from our wild days in our 20s (like lying to our moms and driving 27 hours from Minneapolis to New Orleans for Mardi Gras just to follow a boy), reflect on how we’ve changed (and stayed the same), and and talk candidly about navigating our 50s without children—making peace with that, and what it’s meant for our lives and friendship. Through laughter, love, and deep appreciation, we explore what it really means to keep showing up for each other over decades. This one’s for anyone who knows the beauty—and the sacredness—of a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
