Episode 8: Why Is Friendship So Hard in Midlife?

Friendship wasn’t supposed to be this complicated.

But somewhere between school drop-offs, emotional overload, and trying to keep up with everyone's needs… it’s easy for friendships to fall to the bottom of your never-ending to-do list.

In this heart-opening episode of Motherhood and the Messy Middle, we dive into the real talk about why making—and keeping—friendships as moms in midlife can feel so hard.

Nicole and Robin open up about their own friendship journeys-what’s worked, what’s hurt, and why they believe we still need each other, even when life gets messy and full.

Whether you’re feeling lonely, in a friendship dry spell, or just need reassurance that you're not the only one navigating this season-this one’s for you.

💛 You’re not too much.
💛 You’re not too late.
💛 And you’re not the only one.

If this episode speaks to you, send it to a friend you love (or want to reconnect with).
And if this podcast has helped you feel less alone, we’d be so grateful for a quick review—it helps more moms find our village.
