The Couch Next Door
Friends of a Different Stage
In this episode, we dive into a heartfelt conversation between two friends—Kristen and Laura—who developed and maintain friendship in different seasons of life. These two friends remind us that friendship doesn’t require matching life circumstances. In fact, it’s often the differences that add richness and depth. You are invited to take what you hear today and let it challenge you: seek out someone in a different season of life, be curious, be intentional—and see how that connection can bring unexpected encouragement and value into your world.
