Have you ever been at a wedding, watching a friend slow dance with their new husband, and felt a lump in your throat when you think of the sadness that this hasn’t happened yet for you?

This episode is a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt the bittersweet ache of being single while her friends are hitting major life milestones. Whether it’s weddings, baby showers, engagements, or house moves, there’s often an unspoken grief that comes with watching others step into chapters you deeply want for yourself.

If you resonate with this, you are not alone, and inside my membership community Turning, we are constantly having conversations around this topic. In this solo episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on the complex emotions that comes with watching your friends hit milestones.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• A powerful anonymous post from inside the Turning Community that brought me to tears
• My own story of standing at my best friend’s wedding, single and scared I’d never get there
• Why your complex emotions, envy, sadness, hope, are all valid and welcome
• Tools to help you navigate social triggers like weddings without losing yourself
• The beauty of reframing: turning envy into inspiration

And most importantly: this is your reminder that you’re not alone.

There is a whole community of women walking this path beside you, and you deserve to be supported while navigating the “in-between.”
