🎙️ In this week’s episode of Roots & Rhythm, Vlad and Angie dive into the complexities of building and maintaining friendships in adulthood.
As parents in their thirties, they reflect on what truly qualifies as friendship, what happens when we outgrow certain relationships, and how to navigate the painful reality of drifting apart from people we once held close. Vlad opens up about one of his most important friendships—a bond that began to unravel after he met his wife, leading to heartbreak, mistakes, and the tough decision to move on. Angie shares her own story of a friendship tested by family ties and breakups, and the lessons she carried forward.
This conversation is raw, personal, and relatable for anyone who has ever struggled with changing relationships. Tune in to learn how embracing your story can bring clarity to the friendships you keep—and the ones you release.
