Freckled Foodie & Friends

In this episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Jess Nash, to discuss friendship, motherhood, and how the two intersect. We talk about our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnected after several years of not staying in touch, how having children has bonded us even further, and how essential it is for mothers not to judge each other for their parenting choices. We also discuss why it’s so important for mothers to find a postpartum community and we answer listener questions on preparing for motherhood, making space for conversation not centered around our children, and supporting a friend who is struggling with infertility or has miscarried.Key Takeaway / Points:On our friendship “breakup” and how we reconnectedHow having children bonded us furtherOn friends disagreeing with how they mother their childrenOn the importance of mothers not judging each otherOn finding community during postpartumAnswering listener questions on friendship and motherhood, including:Why friends “go quiet” after they have
