Summary

This week Good Moms are joined with author, and wellness entrepreneur Shelah Marie to chat about friendships in adulthood, being a bonus mom, how mother wounds show up in platonic relationships, and why your growth isn’t selfish—it’s overdue.

You can expect to hear:

(04:10) – Why long-term friendships can quietly hold you back, and how to recognize it!
(11:30) – Being a “bonus” mom and what it taught Sheila about her inner voice
(20:05) – Triggers in friendships and the patterns they inherited from their moms
(35:00) – Making new friends as a grown woman
(47:20) – Why sharing your problems isn’t the same as checking in
(59:15) – Finding your “main character energy” by actually knowing who you are
(1:11:40) – Tarot Time
(1:26:00) – Whorie

Whether you're rethinking your circle, making peace with your fertility journey, or just here for the laughs, there’s something here for you!
