Slightly Unsupervised | Female Friendship and Real Talk |Best Friends Podcast
Two best friends. Zero filters.
All truth.Slightly Unsupervised is a female friendship podcast for midlife women about the kind of soulmates who don’t come with a marriage license.
Hosted by lifelong best friends Jennifer Hobbs and Jackie Schroeder, the show explores friendship, chosen family, emotional growth and the relationships that witness our lives.
Through honest conversations, laughter, and real-life stories, Jennifer and Jackie dive into friendship breakups, loyalty, boundaries, healing, motherhood, identity, reinvention, and the emotional support women provide each other through every season of life.
As the creators of Bestiemony®—A Different Kind of Love Story—they believe some of the greatest loves of our lives are friendships. The women who stand beside us, help us survive life's challenges, and remind us who we are when we've forgotten.
Whether you're celebrating your ride-or-die, healing from a friendship loss, navigating life's changes, or searching for deeper connection, Slightly Unsupervised offers real talk, bestie energy, and meaningful conversations about female friendship and platonic soulmates.
Because friendship isn't just part of life.
Sometimes it's the love story that helps define it.
