Are low effort friendships still real friendships? Or do real friendships require consistent effort, deep conversations, and intentional time together?

In this episode, we're diving into what high and low maintenance friendships actually mean, which ones we are, and whether low effort automatically means low value. We get honest about how most of us were never taught how to do friendships intentionally—we just kind of figured it out as we went, and sometimes that's left us confused about what we should expect.

We talk about how to build deeper, richer friendships when you want more than surface-level connections, what friendship expectations look like in different seasons of life, and whether it's okay to have friends you only see twice a year but still consider close.

This conversation is about redefining what makes a friendship "real" and figuring out what you actually need from your people.
