Ever wondered how to navigate the tricky waters of friendships when life takes you down different paths? This episode promises to equip you with the skills and empathy needed to maintain strong bonds even when faced with challenges like infertility, parenthood, and shifting social dynamics. Join us, two sisters—one a mental health therapist and the other an obstetrician-gynecologist—as we kick off season two with fresh insights and heartfelt discussions.
You'll laugh and learn with our new segment, "Tough Love with Gerbear," featuring our blunt, but loving mother, who answers listener questions with her trademark candor. We’ll also keep you updated with Bridget's pregnancy journey, shedding light on the vital anti-D injection for mothers. Together, we explore the broader implications of social media’s role in spreading awareness about infertility, while emphasizing the importance of compassion and self-care as illustrated by Kirsten McLennan’s poignant op-ed.
Our conversation delves into the evolving nature of adult friendships, especially when friends face vastly different life experiences. We discuss the power of understanding and respecting boundaries, and how small, meaningful interactions can keep friendships alive. This episode is all about fostering empathy, effective communication, and maintaining the connections that matter most, even when life takes unexpected turns. Join us for a season rich with genuine conversations and invaluable insights.
