Are Busy Friends Actually Better Friends?

About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of friendship and the impact of busyness on relationships.

This week on Anything But Average Mondays, Brittany and Christina are back with one of those conversations that starts with spilled coffee and somehow ends up in a very real conversation about friendship, capacity, busy seasons, and the pressure we put on ourselves. They dive into the question: Are busy friends better friends? And like most real-life conversations, the answer isn’t black and white. From packed schedules and changing priorities to how friendship looks in different seasons of life, this episode is a reminder that being busy does not make someone a better friend — and being unavailable sometimes does not make someone a bad one either. They also chat about travel life, being present in different environments, rest, relationships, screenshot chaos, eating habits when you’re home alone, simple protein-packed meals, and why so many women need to stop judging themselves so harshly. This one feels like sitting in on a real girlfriend conversation — honest, funny, relatable, and full of little reminders we all need.
