It’s hard enough to make new friends as an adult—add work, parenting, guilt, and exhaustion to the mix, and it can feel downright impossible. In this episode, Amy and Amanda dive deep into the reality of making mom friends while working full-time. From awkward parking lot waves to workday lunch walks, we share the honest (and hilarious) truth about building community with other moms who are also just trying to keep the wheels on.
We talk about mom guilt, missed PTO get togethers, the struggle to find meaningful connection—and share the surprising way we became friends through something we didn’t expect to love. Plus: practical tips for making low-pressure invites, starting conversations with compliments, and using apps like Peanut or groups like MomCo to find your people.
Because no matter how full your calendar is, you deserve friendships that fit your life—not just your schedule.
