Reconnecting After Years Apart: How We Rebuilt Our Friendship

Send us Fan MailWe Found Our Way Back: Rebuilding a Friendship After 15 Years Apart What happens when a friendship you thought was gone forever… finds its way back? In this deeply personal episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie share the real story of how they reconnected after 15 years apart—and why rebuilding a friendship later in life is rarely instant, but always worth it. From high school best friends to years of silence, life changes, and separate paths… this episode walks you through the exact moments that brought them back together. It wasn’t one big conversation or a dramatic reunion—it was small steps, uncomfortable reaches, and choosing to show up again and again. They open up about:  The first awkward reconnection (and why it matters)  How vulnerability and courage rebuild trust  Why consistency—not intensity—is what brings friendships back to life  The emotional reality of reconnecting after divorce, distance, and time  What it really takes to feel safe, seen, and connected again  How to know if a friendship is worth trying again Plus, their Bestie Rapid Questions get real, emotional, and honest—covering what they wish they had said, what they’ve learned, and why losing each other actually made their bond stronger. If you’ve ever lost a friendship, wondered if you should reach out, or hoped for a second chance… this episode is your reminder that some connections don’t disappear—they just need time, space, and a little courage to come back. Because the best friendships aren’t always the easiest… but they might just be the ones worth rebuilding. Chickology PodcastsBold podcasts by women, for women.
