Continuing our 1-on-1 friendship series, this time it’s Mel and Helen’s turn to share the history and nuances of their duo dynamic! With just a 4-year age gap, there’s a lot that they have in common (any other friend duos out there who are always unfiltered & unhinged??), but there are also distinct differences between them (morning runs vs. sleeping in) that bring a unique perspective and balance to this friendship. Having known each other across various life stages, from new relationships to motherhood, they’ve always got the other’s back. And the vibes are so impeccable, they always know what the other is thinking, without needing to speak out loud.
