Shitty things happen in life, and don’t we know it. And we all know that healing isn’t linear, but haven’t you ever though to yourself, “Why aren’t I over this yet?” Emotional wounds cut deep, and they’re often compounded childhood wounds, which just means that it’ll take longer to “heal” than you might expect—or want. But Bestie, you’ve been through some hard shit. Us, too. And that’s something we should be proud of.

There’s a part of getting older that we never expected: it’s getting harder to maintain meaningful friendships. The people who were once our tight-knit circle have become strangers as career, families, and lives change. It’s not a crime to outgrow friendships, but if we want meaningful connections, then we’re going to have to make a real effort in cultivating them. In this episode, Jill is sharing 10 tips we can all start implementing to make and keep deep friendships.

Friendships are getting harder as we age [0:58]

It takes more work than you think [6:57]

A willingness to engage in tough conversations [7:39]

Are you talking shit on your friends? [10:16]

Have an actual interest in your friends [11:17]

Tell them what you love about them [12:57]

We’re fresh off a 30-Day Instagram Reels Challenge and our results were… nothing like we imagined they would be. When we started our businesses online, we never predicted that we’d somehow have to turn into videographers, too. So we figured we’d lean in to Reels and see how it changed our followings. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Well, at least not in a glaringly obvious way. We improved our video editing, pissed some people off, and learned a lot about what actually grows a social media account. And thank god it’s over now.

Why we did a 30 day Reels Challenge [2:29]

Trying to mix your personal brand with what’s trending [8:06]

You need to have some edge to you [10:13]

The kinds of content that helps you grow [13:25]

Thinking about the content that we engage with [17:35]

Anticlimactic results (for some of us) [19:06]

Getting into the habit of daily posting [21:03]

A new appreciation for the work that video takes [23:12]
