Having a child fundamentally changes your world. It’s a beautiful transformation that brings wonderful new experiences, but it also alters the dynamics of your relationships, including friendships.

In this week’s episode, Tegan and Annaliese reflect on how their friendships have evolved through different seasons, including those that have come back around, as well as the new connections formed through parenthood.

Plus, Sarah Marie dives into what might be the best family drama of all time, all sparked by a rather interesting choice of baby name.
