Girls Night #194: What to look for in a ...

THAT SOUNDS FUN NETWORK
About this episode

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!


I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about what to look for in a best friend and how to stay close to your best friends once you’ve found them. And there’s no better person for me to talk about this with than my very best friend in the whole world, Michelle Windhausen. 


I cannot believe this, but Michelle and I have been friends for over 25 years! We’ve been through so much together, middle school, high school, college, figuring out what we want to do with our lives, meeting and marrying our husbands, and now we have five beautiful daughters between the two of us — including two sets of identical twins. (Which… we’re going to tell that full story in this episode. It’s WILD.) 


In this episode, we’re chatting about what it is about our friendship that’s made it last so long, how to maintain a friendship, what qualities we should be looking for in a best friend, whether or not it’s possible to have more than one best friend, and that’s just the beginning. 


I loved this conversation and I love Michelle – I can’t wait for you to hear from her again!
