Making friends as an adult is weird... or is it? 🐝

In this episode, Chelsea and BatSheva get real about adult friendship: the awkward beginnings, the ritual that deepened their own bond fast, and the guilt-free art of letting go of friendships that no longer fit. It's honest, funny, and deeply relatable if you've ever wondered why making friends past childhood feels so much harder than it used to.

Tell us: has making friends as an adult been weird for you, or do you still roll with your kindergarten crew? We want to hear your story.
