DBM Episode 44: Honoring and Navigating Our Friendships as Mothers

#DearMama, take time this Mother’s Day to honor your friendships. Honor those who have expanded you, stretched you, given to you, trusted you, and elevated you. We come here to be seen and loved, and I’m so grateful to have friends in my life who see me. In this episode, Thea and I share the genesis and evolution of our friendship and the challenges we’ve faced along the way. As always, this podcast has always given me exactly what I need, and today I needed to see love and trust active in my life, holding me.

Our intention is that this episode allows you to see yourself and all the women pouring into you as always.
