Navigating adult friendships can feel like threading a delicate needle—balancing personal growth, differing priorities, and the inevitability of change. In this episode, we explore the complexities of maintaining meaningful connections in adulthood, drawing wisdom from Mariama Bâ's So Long a Letter. Through its poignant portrayal of friendship, we unpack themes of loyalty, communication, and the resilience required to nurture relationships that stand the test of time.

In this episode, we’re diving into the myth that adulthood is a magical time of freedom, fun, and fulfillment. We grew up with so many expectations: financial freedom, dream careers, loyal friendships, and maybe even finding “The One.” But for most of us, the reality has been far from the dream. Bills are unending, friendships fade, and balancing work, health, and relationships can feel like a losing game.

Together, we’ll explore the common disappointments and challenges that come with adult life and the strength it takes to keep going. How do we reconcile the life we imagined with the one we’re actually living? And how do we find joy, meaning, and growth even when things fall short?

Whether you’re in the middle of your own struggle or just need to feel seen, tune in as we unpack this universal experience with honesty and hope.
