#70: On Friendship: Money, Marriage & the Meaning of True Connection
In this rich and layered conversation, the Busy Being Born crew unpack the philosophy, practice, and pitfalls of friendship. Drawing on personal stories, cultural wisdom, and even biblical references, they explore what makes a friend, how friendships are tested, and why some bonds endure while others fade.
From money matters that complicate trust, to the delicate balance of marriage as friendship, to the strategies for cultivating authentic bonds in busy adulthood. This episode is a full-spectrum meditation on how we show up for one another.
The conversation weaves through reliability, joy, and emotional safety as core markers of true friendship, while acknowledging the shifting seasons of life that reshape our circles. Whether it’s early morning breakfasts, quarterly road trips, or the unshakable reconnection after 11 years apart, the hosts examine the diverse ways we hold space for those we love.
Through humor and vulnerability, they also touch on friendship endings, insecurity, value alignment, and the quiet truth that sometimes, letting go is as important as holding on.
