After hearing about the book "Big Friendship" by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman on "The Marie Forleo Podcast", Leigh and Kristin read it, and dive into the topic of the trials and tribulations of friendship at midlife.  Aminatou and Ann host the podcast "Call Your Girlfriend", and the story of their friendship forms the backbone of this book.  Leigh and Kristin discuss how friendships can change as women go through such a transformational experience as divorce, and emphasize the importance of maintaining and "stretching" for those women you need in your life.  Those "old friends", who KNOW you, who knew you BEFORE, become important as you try to regain your identity.  Leigh and Kristin discuss how the pandemic has led us to edit our friendship list to the ones who will tell us the truth, and help us be our most authentic selves. In the context of discussing the book, Leigh and Kristin discuss how the difficulties of female friendship relate to women at any stage of life, especially as women go through transition.  The discussion moves on to how the loss of a special friendship can be as difficult as a death.  Any woman in midlife, especially those in transition, remaking themselves, can relate to the conversation about the importance of friends.  They are life.  Leigh and Kristin cover their own friendship, which we would define as a "Big Friendship", and the challenges of building a business together--the learning curve is STEEP.  Having "big friendship" is not easy.  It's work, but it's worth it.
