In this soul-nourishing episode, Mel invites part of her “Menoposse” up to the pod to talk about whole lotta 💩. We’re kicking off our shoes, pouring a glass (or two), and sitting down for a heart-to-heart about the power and beauty of sisterhood. We laugh, reflect, and get real about what it means to show up for each other—through the glow-ups and the breakdowns, the silent seasons, and the loud, messy ones too.
From late-night phone calls to long stretches of not talking, we explore the ebb and flow of friendship, how life changes us, and how we hold space for each other through it all. It’s a celebration of growth, grace, and the unspoken magic that keeps us connected—even when life gets in the way.
This is for the friends who became family, the ones who see you through every version of yourself, and the ones who remind you of who you are when you forget. Grab your girls. Press play. Let’s talk about it.
