In this week’s episode Lauren and Erica interview Life Coach and Friend Break Up Expert Katherine “Kat” Sleadd. In this conversation we shed light on friendships and how they inform all the relationships in our lives. We touch on everything from our personal definitions of friendship, what is your family of origin, as well as friend break-ups and how traumatic they can be. Kat reveals how friendships are not given the space they deserve in our society and how we can cultivate better communication in our friend breakups to help us grow from the loss.
If you’re curious to start a healing path in your friendship journey here are some journal prompts Kat suggests in the episode:
- Ask yourself what was your first friend breakup. Tell your story. How did that make you feel?
- Are you looking at your friendships as a way to connect and communicate?

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
