What Makes a True Friend?

In this heartfelt episode of Coffee Unlimited with J & D, Janelle and Danielle open up about the meaning, depth, and evolution of true friendship. From 20-year bonds that transcend distance to the challenges of maintaining connections through life’s busier seasons, they explore what makes a friend truly “ride or die.”

They discuss how adult friendships often shift as careers, families, and personal growth reshape priorities — and how the truest connections are often the ones that require no explanation or constant contact. The hosts also unpack the harder side of friendship: one-sided relationships, setting boundaries, and even political or value differences that can test a bond.

Equal parts vulnerable and witty (yes, there’s talk of pajamas, donkeys, and mini cows), this episode feels like a warm catch-up with your closest friend — the one who knows your heart even if you haven’t talked in months.
