In this week's episode, Skye and Amanda discuss their thoughts on Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. After reading about the stages that Sow and Friendman’s decade long relationship has experienced, the ladies do their own self check-ins and evaluate how they show up as friends. The two reflect on the importance of friendship, how they commit to nurturing these bonds and resolving conflict, if at all. Learn about which of them is struggling with speaking up in a strained friendship and which was able to rekindle things with their homegirl after a friend breakup.
