Having a baby can shift everything, including your closest friendships.

In this week’s episode of Let’s Thrive Postpartum, host Kelly Siebold sits down with licensed therapist and best friend Lindsay Carter of LifeShift Therapy to talk about what happens when friendship feels different after having a child. Together, they explore how postpartum depression, identity changes, and emotional overwhelm can create distance between friends, and what it really takes to heal that disconnection.

You’ll learn:
 • Why friendships often feel strained after baby.
 • What the child-free friend may be experiencing too.
 • How to name and express what you need in this new season.
 • Tools to repair disconnection and rebuild closeness.
 • How to decide who belongs in your village right now.

Whether you’re a mom missing your old connection or you're the friend who is unsure of how to show up, this episode offers honesty, insight, and hope. Listen in for a conversation that’s real, supportive, and full of love.
