Next week on Stories Between Sips, we explore the messy beauty of adult friendship. In Monday’s solo episode, René opens up about learning (and unlearning) how to be a friend — from childhood gaps in emotional education to navigating connection, distance, and grief as an adult. Then on Friday, she sits down with Milla, Ilze’s lifelong best friend, for a heartfelt conversation about sisterhood, evolving bonds, and the kind of friendship that lasts through decades.

Whether you're holding onto old friends or hoping to make new ones — this one’s for you.
