Different Tiers of Friendship and Their Textures

You know those friendships that just get you? The ones where you can talk about the deep, weird, mystical, totally human parts of life — and she just understands without you having to explain? That's what this conversation feels like.

It's been almost a year since my last sit-down with my real-life bestie, Rosie Acosta — and these episodes are always your favorites (and mine too!). Someone messaged me the other day saying, "Your podcast feels like the spiritual sleepover I wish I could be part of." And that's exactly what this episode is.

Rosie and I talk all about how to create — and sustain — friendships that truly stand the test of time.

We share how we met (hint: a podcast swap that turned into a lifelong bond), what makes our friendship work through distance and growth, and how we've navigated things like conflict, evolving paths, politics, and even love.

We dive into: 🖤 Why deep female friendships are sacred soul contracts 🌹 How to find besties who really get your spiritual evolution 🐍 What to do when you grow apart or disagree — without canceling each other ✨ How to maintain closeness through long distance and life transitions 💫 The difference between "besties" and "best friends" — and why both matter

We also talk about the loneliness epidemic happening right now — and how to actually make new friends in adulthood when everyone's got AirPods in. Rosie shares beautiful insights on boundaries, compassion, and creating community, while I open up about my own experiences building soul-aligned friendships through podcasts, rituals, and just saying yes to connection.

If you've ever felt like you've outgrown friendships, or wondered where to find women who match your energy.

This episode is your reminder that soul family is real, and they're out there waiting for you.

So grab your matcha, get cozy, and join our spiritual sleepover.

Because you're the third bestie in this conversation. 💛
