Ever caught yourself scheduling a catch-up with a friend like it’s just another task on your never-ending to-do list? Leah & Jess get real about how modern female friendships have become more transactional than intentional—especially for women juggling businesses, families, and life.In this episode, they unpack why so many friendships start feeling like check-ins rather than genuine connections and how the pressure to always “do something productive” can suck the joy out of simply being with your people. They also touch on the impact of social expectations, why alcohol seems to be at the centre of every get-together, and how to create real, lasting memories without waiting for a ‘special occasion’.If you’ve ever wondered why friendships sometimes feel exhausting instead of energising, this one’s for you. Let’s redefine what meaningful connections actually look like.💬 How do you prioritise quality time with friends without making it feel like another obligation?
