(#23) - "Are Your Friendships Built for the Good Times, Too?"(...because popping champagne should be a group sport)

from Now What · host Melissa Murphy

Hey Hoops & Glossers, We always talk about who shows up when life hits the fan—but what about when life rocks? In today's solo episode, I'm spilling all the tea on friendship: the kind that cheers you on when you're winning, not just when you're wounded. After a whirlwind weekend where my college besties pulled off an epic surprise trip to celebrate one of us landing a dream promotion (spoiler alert: there were tears, joy, and probably champagne), I started asking myself this question: 👉 How am I showing up for my friends… really? We get into: Why we wait for funerals to say how we really feel 😬 The silent heartbreak of unsupportive friends What to do when your glow-up makes others uncomfortable (hint: it's not about you) And the actual magic of a handwritten card 💌 (Millennials, don't panic—I explain) Oh, and I've got a little challenge for you at the end. Let's just say it involves kindness, connection, and maybe a stamp. 😉 So whether you've got ride-or-dies or you're feeling a little friendship-famished lately, come hang out. Midlife friendship is weird, wild, and 100% worth it. xoxo melis 👉 Don't forget to leave a 5-star review on Spotify (because you're my friend, right? RIGHT??) 👉 Tag me @motivatewithmelis and tell me how you're spreading the love today!
