Summary

Friendships are one of the most precious parts of our lives! But as we get older, balancing them alongside family, work, and “me time” can be tricky. This week, I discuss what I think makes a truly great friend, how to show up for someone going through the hardest parts of life (including divorce), and the ways my own friends supported me when I needed it most. From navigating changes to making sure we tell the people we love that we love them, this conversation is a reminder that friendship isn’t just about the good times... It’s about being there for each other, always!

0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:04.4	This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavalry, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more.
0:15.8	And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing.
0:22.9	Hi, everybody.
0:24.8	I feel like it's been so long since I've taped a podcast and I've only taken two weeks
0:29.7	off.
0:30.9	But wow.
0:32.1	Okay, hi.
0:33.0	I feel like it's a new year.
0:35.3	Like, I'm back.
0:36.3	I'm excited.
0:39.2	Well, it is a new year because actually my kids are back in school. They started this past Monday, which is insane. I can't believe how
0:46.3	fast summer went. And also, yes, this is the earliest we've ever gone back to school.

1:05.1	birthday. But usually they have a half day on a Friday and then they have the weekend off. But this
1:10.7	year, they had a half day on Monday and then they had a full week. And so, I mean, we are back in it, you guys. I'm up at 6 a.m. I'm making breakfast. I'm making three lunches. I mean, we're back. We are in it. But I got to be honest, I like being in a routine. I'm always so excited for summer and it always
1:28.8	comes at the perfect time. And then I'm actually kind of excited for school to start because I thrive
1:34.4	on a routine. I thrive on structure. And it's fun for a few months to kind of sleep in a little and
1:40.2	you know, have, you know, more fluid days. But I like knowing what's coming.
1:46.3	I like having the structure.
