138. blame it on bestie

About this episode

The episode explores how close friendships can influence personal growth and preferences over time.

hi hello hey, get ready for a real love fest today Do you ever spend so much time with someone that you slowly start becoming them? Or worse… you start liking things you swore you’d never like? After nearly 12 years of friendship (and almost 6 years of being best friends), we’ve influenced each other in ways both small and genuinely life-altering. From music, style, and products to deeper things like our perspectives, habits, and who we’ve grown into as people, we honestly wouldn’t recognize our lives without each other in them. This episode is exactly what it sounds like: a cute, sappy, slightly embarrassing bestie love fest. We talk about the ways we’ve shaped each other—sometimes intentionally, sometimes completely by accident—and how we’ve made each other better along the way. So grab a cozy drink, settle in, and blame it on bestie. Have we influenced you in any way, big or small? We’d love to hear about it!
