Summary

How do friendships change once we become parents? It's something I definitely didn't consider much when I was pregnant, with a million thoughts swirling through my head. Now that we're 2.5 years into the parenting journey, I feel equipped to share my personal anecdotes and challenges regarding how parenthood has impacted certain relationships. From the awkward moments of feeling left out of group chats to the complexities of scheduling around nap times and family commitments, I offer my experiences and insights on navigating these changes. I also highlight the importance of open communication, the role of mom friends, and how to keep friendships strong amidst the chaos of parenthood. Whether you're navigating this journey yourself or just curious about what your parent friends are going through, this episode offers advice, relatable stories, and a sense of camaraderie as we explore the evolving dynamics of friendships in the journey of parenting.
