Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I'm so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have about

our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence

about our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the full. Life is so much better

and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait

to get started. Friends I'm so excited about today's episode. Today we're talking about what to

look for in a best friend and how to stay close to your best friends once you've found them.

And there is no better person for me to talk to about this than my very best friend in the whole

entire world, Michelle went home in. I can't believe this but Michelle and I have been best friends

for over 25 years. We've been through so much together, middle school, high school, college,

figuring out what we want to do with our lives, meeting and marrying our husbands and now we have

five beautiful daughters between the two of us, including oh my gosh, two sets of identical twins,

which is the craziest thing that has happened to either of us and especially that it's happened to both

of us and we're going to tell the whole story in this episode. It is wild. In this episode we're also

talking about what it is about our friendship that's made it last so long. We're talking about how

to maintain friendships, what qualities we should be looking for in a best friend, whether or not

is possible to have more than one best friend and that's just the beginning. I loved this conversation

and I love Michelle and I cannot wait for you to get to hear from her again. But before we dive in,

speaking of best friends, there is nothing I love more than a girl's trip. Friendship plus travel

truly is there anything better. Nothing leaves me feeling more inspired, more rested or more like

my very best self than an adventure with my best girls. It's truly my favorite form of self-care.

I was meeting up with Michelle actually and two of our other best friends at a lake in Minnesota
