Friendsgiving 2025: Friendship Changes, Growth, and Gratitude

This week on Wait, You’re Mad? we’re having a full Friendsgiving-energy conversation about adult friendship — the beautiful parts, the complicated parts, and the parts we never expected to navigate in our 30s.Madi and Lexie break down what modern friendship really looks like: the people who stayed through every life phase, the ones we quietly outgrew, and the surprising friendships that became core memories. From unspoken boundaries to recurring arguments to the emotional shift from “friends out of convenience” to “friends built on alignment,” we’re unpacking it all — with honesty, humor, and a little Midwest sentimentality.We’ll also tackle some Friendship Hot Takes: ✨ Mixing friend groups ✨ Venting about one friend to another ✨ Unspoken “friendship contracts” ✨ Friends who get weird when you make new friends ✨ Friendship in the “relationship era” ✨ And why reassurance should not feel like a full-time jobThink of this episode as sitting around a long table with people who get you — cozy, a little messy, and full of appreciation for the magic of chosen family.Whether you’re redefining your circle, missing an old friend, or feeling grateful for the ones who show up every time, we hope this one makes you feel seen.Support the showFollow us onInstagram: @WaitYoureMadTiktok: @Wait.Youre.Mad Subscribe and Listen to New Episodes on Fridays!
