Friends Beyond Our Years: The Beauty of Intergenerational Connection

Some friendships feel like family — especially when they cross generations.In this episode, Bri reflects on the lifelong gift of intergenerational friendships — from childhood “old lady friends” like Edna and Eda to her 70-ish year old mentor who has become one of her dearest friends. She shares stories of how these relationships shaped her, what she’s learned from women decades older, and why we need a “friendship board of directors” at every stage of life.If you’ve ever felt the steadying power of a wise friend, or longed for connection with someone who’s walked the path before you, this episode will remind you that community isn’t just built — it’s passed down.
