What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Our Mom Friendships Are Different Now


Listen Later

Have you lost touch with mom friends since the pandemic? Do you feel that after so much isolation you don't even know how to make friends anymore?

In this episode, we talk about how the last few years have changed our friendships, what's gotten harder, and why we're motivated to deepen those relationships again.

Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • The "decreased social stamina" many of us feel
  • Why spontaneity seems to have gone out the window
  • How knowing that just about everyone feels this way can really help
