51: "Gin & Chat About Friendship Breakups & Trauma Bonding | The Real Truths About Friendship"

Let’s chat about FRIENDSHIPS — the good, the messy, the unexpected, and the ones that lift you higher than your favorite cocktail. We even take it back to where it all began… the start of our decade long friendship and the reason this podcast exists!From giving you little life updates (Lauren being an East Coast pilates princess in Connecticut and Nat being her typical jet-setting self), to our trauma bonding origin story, we're keeping it real and relatable. We finally spill the tea on how our friendship began over shared trauma and turned two Chapman Dance Majors into ride-or-die best friends. We also get vulnerable about going through friendship breakups and how to cope with growing apart from people. The natural ebbs and flows of friendship, and why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who love you unconditionally.If you’ve ever wondered when to let a friendship go, how to show up for your people, or just needed a reminder that your circle should feel like home… this one’s for you.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction ft. bubbly 14:47 Little Life Updates (NEW SEGMENT)23:40 Our trauma-bonding origin story31:45 Friendship Breakups 35:52 Surrounding yourself with unconditional love 42:55 Having hard (but healing) conversations46:38 Happy Hour Hot Take/ConclusionIf you loved this episode, drop a comment with your own friendship origin or breakup story — we want to hear it all!New episodes every Friday 🍸Try our favorite Gin: Conniption Gin (use code: GINANDCHAT) → https://conniptiongin.com/ginandchatFollow us on IG & TikTok @ginandchatpodcast#Friendship #BestFriends #TraumaBonding #GirlTalk #FriendshipAdvice #WomenSupportingWomen #GinAndChat #Podcast #LoAndNat
