Girl Chat: Adult Friendships, Comparison, Intuitive Eating & Financial Goals w/ Taylor Teichman

Ep. 181: Friendship in adulthood looks a lot different than it did in our twenties. In this episode, Taylor and I open up about how we’ve built deep, supportive relationships in our thirties—what’s changed, what we’ve learned, and how to navigate everything from making new friends to setting boundaries. Taylor shares how she manifested her dream friend group after moving to Austin, and we talk about the challenges of balancing personal growth, self-doubt, and anxiety. Plus, we answer listener questions on self-worth, dealing with jealousy, and standing up for yourself in tough conversations.
