Episode 10: How Motherhood Changed Our Friendships

Becoming a mom changes everything—including who you are at your core. In this milestone 10th episode of Nightclubs to Nightfeeds, we’re unpacking the massive identity shift that comes with motherhood. From who we thought we’d be as not only moms but friends, vs. who we actually became.
Motherhood impacts our relationships, including friendships. Have you found yourself struggling with nonstop mom-talk, only to realize it might be pushing away friends who aren’t in this season of life? Or maybe you’ve lost friendships altogether, feeling disconnected from those who once felt like family. We’ll share personal experiences on where we’ve struggled the most, the friendships we’ve lost, and—on the flip side—the beautiful relationships that have DEEPENED along the way.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of these changes, or are curious how it’s gone for others this episode is for you. Grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and let’s get into it.
