This week on The Found Podcast, we're doing something a little different…and a lot more personal. I finally brought my real-life best friends to the mic — right here around my kitchen table — snacks, beers, belly laughs, squeals, and memories included. 

We've been friends for decades — from first kisses to first cars, from weddings to babies, from heartbreaks to hospital rooms. These women are my chosen family. And while this episode may not follow the usual structure… it might be the most heart-expanding one yet.

Whether you've known your girls for 25 years or 25 days — this is your reminder to make room, make time, and make memories with the women who make life sweeter. 

What you'll hear in this episode:
• The Nashville bachelorette trip we still call "the greatest weekend of our lives"
• Why chosen family is sometimes the strongest family you've got
• The seasons where we couldn't get together — and why we still never doubted our bond
• Stories that absolutely cannot be repeated in public ever again
• Celebrating the women who show up at the drop of a text — no questions asked

Key Quotes:

"I cried the whole night when I got home. I was like, I have the best friends."
"These women are my chosen family."
"We've seen each other through every defining moment of life — all 40 years."

Takeaway:
Friendship is the glue that helps us survive the chaos and savor the joy. Don't let time, distance, or busyness keep you from the people who feel like home.
