Friendship During the Pause: Showing Up in Slower Seasons [Season 3 - Episode 3]

In this heartfelt episode, host Maleika Rene is joined by Liz, the show’s producer, for an intimate and spiritual conversation about what friendship looks like when life slows down. Whether you or your friend are in a season of survival—navigating grief, burnout, transition, health challenges or simply exhaustion—this episode explores how we continue to hold each other with grace and care.

Together, we reflect on the quiet power of support, and the sacred rhythm of friendships that can weather silence, space, and stillness.

Affirmation:

"Even in silence, true friendship speaks volumes."

Journal Prompt:

How have I been supported in my slower seasons?

How can I offer that same grace to someone else right now?

Soul Work:

Choose one sister in your life who may be in a slower season. Send her a voice memo, drop off a small gesture of care, or lift her name in prayer. Let her know: "I see you. I love you. I’m here."
