Sandy and Kristy do a chaotic catch-up, then zoom in on the real topic: why their friendship works. After swapping “dead inside” updates (stress knots and a wild Valentine’s week at the flower shop), they talk about how past friendships ranged from supportive to obsessive, toxic, and even financially disastrous. They explain that what makes their bond different is setting clear, normal boundaries—no guilt, no constant check-ins, honesty when something’s wrong, and family first—making the friendship feel easy instead of like a second job.
