Motherhood is beautiful, exhausting, and—let’s be honest—a little lonely sometimes. That’s why mom friends matter so much. In this special Mother’s Day episode of The Friendship Tour, I'm diving into the unique bond between moms who truly understand what it means to juggle parenting, identity, and friendship. From diaper changes and picky eaters to deep conversations and encouragement, mom friends are the lifelines we didn’t know we needed—and the ones who help us remember who we are beyond “Mom.”
In this episode, I'm joined by guest Yaritza Pluguez for a meaningful conversation about what defines a mom friend, why these connections are so important, and how friendship helps us protect our identity in the chaos of motherhood. Whether you’re in the early baby stages or figuring out what it means to parent adults, this episode is for you.
Topics in this episode include:
-
What exactly is a “mom friend”?
-
How motherhood changes our friendships—and our sense of self
-
Navigating loneliness and finding new connections
-
The importance of staying connected to who you are, not just what you do
