In episode 007 of Asking for a Friend, hosts Corey and Rosanne explore why female friendships are often the last priority in our lives — and why that needs to change. They discuss how true friends serve as "anchors," reminding us who we are outside of our roles as partners, parents, and professionals, and how neglecting those connections can lead to over-reliance on our partners and growing resentment. Whether you have lifelong girlfriends or are looking to build new connections, this episode is a heartfelt reminder to stop getting quiet and start reaching out.

In this heartfelt episode, best friends Corey and Rosanne tackle the often-overlooked topic of self-care for caregivers, drawing from their personal experiences caring for aging parents. Rosanne, a therapist, challenges the idea that self-care is a luxury — arguing it's rooted in self-love and is essential, not optional, especially when navigating the "sandwich generation" squeeze of caring for both parents and kids. Corey shares how redefining self-care on her own terms — from early morning routines to lakeside walks with Rosanne helped her stay grounded and show up fully for her dad during the hardest season of her life.

In this episode, Rosanne and Corey dig into one of the most universal struggles women face — losing yourself in the roles you play and forgetting who you actually are underneath them. They explore how your identity isn't what you do (mother, caregiver, professional) but something deeper that's always been there, waiting to be reconnected with — and how listening to your inner voice, following your goosebumps, and honoring your boundaries can guide you back to her. Plus, Corey shares a deeply personal moment about grief, journaling, and how caring for her father in his final days became one of the most profound lessons in staying true to yourself even in loss.

In this episode of Asking for a Friend, Corey and Rosanne explore the powerful connection between reinvention and boundaries — and why you can't have one without the other. They dive into how the language we use shapes our reality (hint: swap "I'm so busy" for "I have a full life"), and why setting boundaries isn't selfish — it's how you protect the space for the life you're growing into. From navigating news overload to reclaiming your identity after loss, this conversation is a reminder that reinvention starts with quieting the noise so you can finally hear yourself.

In this episode of Asking for a Friend, Rosanne and Corey pick up where they left off — exploring how perfectionism shows up in new ways even after doing the hard work of self-reinvention, from divorce to stepping into the spotlight of social media and podcasting. Therapist Roseanne breaks down the "thought triangle" — the connection between our beliefs, feelings, and behaviors — and why old stories about not being "good enough" keep resurfacing until we dig out the root system, not just the weed. The conversation wraps with a powerful reminder that reinvention is an ongoing practice, not a one-time event, and sets the stage for their next episode on creating space for change through boundaries.

In episode 2 of AFAF, longtime friends Corey and Rosanne open up about the messiest chapter of Corey's life — her divorce — and how their 40-year friendship became an unexpected lifeline through it. Rosanne, a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience, shares why a broken heart is actually the perfect entry point for deep personal transformation, revealing how raw, unguarded moments are portals to your truest self. From spirit animals to sisterhood, this conversation is equal parts laughter, tears, and the kind of real talk women usually only whisper about.

In this debut episode of Asking for a Friend, lifelong best friends Corey and Rosanne — a self-described list-making social butterfly and a licensed marriage and family therapist — introduce themselves and the podcast they've been dreaming of creating for years. They share the story of their 40-year friendship, from meeting as high school freshmen to navigating life's messy seasons together, including divorce, loss, and growth. The episode sets the tone for honest, humorous, and heartfelt conversations about marriage, parenting, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves — always with a little laughter and a therapist in the room.
