Corey and Rosanne are Asking For A Friend

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.
