About this listen

 Welcome to a space where honest conversations meet hilarious moments. Join us as we navigate this “oldish” season of life with grace, grit, and a whole lot of laughter. From parenting adult kids to processing faith, marriage, health, and everything in between—we’re showing up as we are, trusting God through it all, and finding reasons to laugh (even when life feels hard). If you’ve ever felt a little overwhelmed, a little older, and a little unsure—but still full of faith—this podcast is for you.Copyright That's Why We're Friends Christianity Hygiene & Healthy Living Relationships Social Sciences Spirituality

  • The One With All the Gratitude

    The One With All the Gratitude
    Nov 4 2025
    Thanks for joining us for this episode of That’s Why We’re Friends. The podcast is created for women in the oldish season of life, where we get real & vulnerable about all things faith, family, our bodies, health & everything in between.

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!

    In this episode, we start with some lighthearted fun—talking crocs as a fashion statement (are they really making a comeback? 👀) and yes… did Sara actually say she ate pig brains?! 🐷😂 Then we shift into a deeper conversation about gratitude, joy, and how mental health research beautifully aligns with God’s Word. We talk about how gratitude is a gift from our good Father that lifts our spirits, how sometimes it’s a choice before it’s a feeling, and how choosing thankfulness can shift our perspective—like a rope that helps pull us out of the pit. No matter the circumstance, the posture of gratitude changes everything. 💛

  • The One Where God Gives You Identity in Healing

    The One Where God Gives You Identity in Healing

    If you’re looking for a space to laugh & cry about the real stuff this is it!


    In this final episode of our month-long series on faith in the desert seasons of life, we talk about what it means to walk through hard places without letting them define us. Trauma is not our identity—only God has the authority to name what has happened, and only He gets to define who we are. When we choose to pursue Him in the hard, we step into healing and freedom, living as daughters with a good Father who calls us His own.

    On today’s episode we talked about:
    In part two of Faith in the Desert Seasons, we start with a little laughter—chatting about cute clothes and the great toilet paper debate —before moving into a heartfelt and vulnerable conversation. Sara shares her story of walking through deep hardship in 2024, and together we talk about the beauty of lament, the power of gratitude, and how godly community helps keep our heads above water and our eyes fixed on God.
