We all know that midlife is more fun with friends. But friendship is more than a nice-to-have—female friendships are a balm and a salve, tethering us when the roller coaster of (mid)life threatens to catapult us off the tracks. This week, Katie explores the uplifting power of friendship with Vanessa Cornell, founder of the women's community NUSHU. After experiencing her own breaking point at 35, this Harvard graduate and mother of five built what she needed—a community that lets women unmask and connect deeply. Want friendships that help you squeeze all the juice out of life? Craving relationships that accept even your "darkest, ugliest self?" Listen in for practical wisdom on friend-making, cultivating vulnerability, and why midlife is the perfect time to begin "no-regret living." Start now, beauties! Today is the day!
