253. Friendship, Growing Up & the People Who Become Family

What makes a friendship last? And what happens when you grow up and realize you’re not always growing in the same direction?

In this special Motherish episode inspired by DreamWorks Animation’s "Forgotten Island," Karen and Pamela are talking about the friendships that shape us, from the friends who first made us feel seen to the ones who become chosen family.

We’re getting into growing up together, attachment, jealousy, friendship breakups and those relationships that stay with us long after childhood. We’re also talking about the film’s themes of family, memory and finding your way back to the people who matter most.

Because motherhood may change so much about our lives, but those conversations about friendship? We could talk about those forever.
