Welcome back to the On The Rocks Pod! Today we have the pleasure of having our own fireside chat with Jeannette of @shutthekaleup and Rachael from @rachaelsgoodeats to go deep on their supportive, loving friendship of 8 years.

It's inspiring to listen to two friends talk about being there for each other through thick and thin. They discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly, including how they met, what brought them closer, growing into adulthood, dealing with real-life events, and how they helped each other navigate life's challenges. There's so much more to their story, and it's truly inspiring to witness a mature, honest, and loving friendship that they have.

Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Today we have a conversation with Erin Falconer, therapist and author of the book “How to Break Up with Your Friends”, discussing the importance of intentional friendship and how to navigate conflicts in these relationships. Erin explains her inspiration for writing her book, noting that while society is obsessed with tracking information, such as calorie intake, steps taken, there is no agreed-upon language or blueprint for navigating friendship. The lack of focus on intentional friendship can be attributed to the fact that traditional therapy only focuses on the individual, family therapy, and couples therapy, with no equivalent for friendship. Join me in this candid conversation and please, let me know your thoughts and personal experiences around this topic!

Soooo… how do we make friends again..? If this daunting question has run through your head, you are in good company (even though it may not seem that way). After college, one of the biggest transitions that was felt was drifting apart from friends and not understanding how (or where!?) to meet new ones.

In this episode, we're finally going to learn how to make new friends as an adult! Look at us go. We’re having an engaging conversation with Danielle Bayard Jackson, a female friendship coach and educator who speaks nationally on the subject of friendship as a wellness imperative. She is dedicated to teaching women how to create and maintain better female friendships. We'll also be talking about women's cooperation, communication, and conflicts. This is going to be a good one, so stay tuned! Don't forget to subscribe and share the episode with your friends.

Key points for finding friends as an adult:

Remember, there may come a time when a friendship ends or needs to be demoted. Be aware of friendship breakup territory and be prepared to handle it.

Hope you enjoy!

This is a very special episode for me because I got to interview my best friend of 20 years… Danya. She’s a musical theater actress, corporate nine-to-five, girly, thats obsessed with home decor (just like me).

As we enter our 30s, we're realizing that friendships shift and evolve in many different ways. At one point, we became codependent and decided to take a friend break. Now that we have more knowledge on boundaries, self-care, and choice, we have a whole new approach to our friendship and environment.

Listen to the full episode and take this episode as a quick reminder to shoot your oldest friend a text telling them how much you appreciate them. It will go along way and can’t recommend it enough.
