In this episode, I’m joined by my beautiful friend Lauren for a real and refreshing conversation about the unspoken social pressures many women face as we approach 30. From expectations around babies, home ownership, and "settling down," to the internal tug-of-war between wanting to travel and feeling like we're "falling behind"  we’re unpacking it all. We also dive into friendship dynamics: letting go of that high school mentality of "claiming" best friends, learning to share space in our friendships, and finding the self-security to welcome multiple, meaningful connections into our lives without jealousy or competition. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they’re not ticking the right boxes fast enough  or like they need permission to live life on their own terms. Tune in for laughs, honesty, and a little sisterly therapy.
