  • Excellent podcast

    I have followed Kelly on social media for years, but I somehow just recently learned of her podcast. I recently lost my dad, and these stories, especially about Bob, hit close to home. It’s so refreshing and validating to listen to this open space of people talking about something everyone will endure at some point. I adore Kelly and I have enjoyed every episode so far. The addition of comfort food and recipes is also such a cool idea!

Adult Female Friendships Are Hard

Adult Female Friendships Are Hard
Q: How does aging change the way women approach friendship and bandwidth for relationships?
