95. How to Keep Your Friendships Alive After Having a Baby
About this episode
This episode discusses how friendships change after having a baby and offers advice on maintaining those connections.
What happens to your friendships after you have a baby? Spoiler alert: they change. In this episode, I'm joined by my best friend Margaret Mason Tate to talk about what happens when one person has a baby, and the friendship suddenly has a brand-new cast member nobody fully prepared for. Margaret and I get very honest about what both sides can do to stay connected, from telling the truth to inviting friends into the trenches, giving each other grace, and remembering that your baby can be your tiny beloved chaos goblin without becoming your only relationship.
