Hello, you!

Welcome back to my Audio Journal. In this entry, I'm thinking about one of the most special, and sometimes complicated things we navigate as we get older: friendship.

When we're young, friendships can feel effortless. But as life begins and we start building careers, finding love, and juggling new responsibilities, the dynamics change. The connections that once felt easy now require real intention, effort, and understanding. How do we show up for each other when we're all so busy trying to show up for ourselves?

This is a conversation I couldn't have alone, so for the first time, I've invited a guest into the journal. I'm so excited to be joined by one of my closest friends, Luyanda, for an honest chat about navigating friendships in our 20s and 30s. We get into it all: from making time for each other and setting boundaries to the unspoken rules of inheriting beef and the power of forgiveness.
