S1.E11 - Village People: Finding Your ‘Kumbaya’ Crew in a Spicy World
What does it really mean to have a “support village”? In this episode, Melisa and Christy crack open the messy, magical, and sometimes painful truth about building (and losing) your people.
From childhood church groups to friendship breakups over politics and personal growth, they reflect on:
Why friendship doesn’t need to check every box
The myth of the “one perfect best friend”
How cultural identity and religion shape our ideas of support
When support turns into silence—and how to grieve that
The surprise people who show up when you least expect it
Whether your village is one person or a whole squad, this episode will remind you: support doesn't have to be big to be powerful. And yes, your version of community is valid—even if it doesn’t look like a group chat that’s texting 24/7.
