Friendlier is like eavesdropping on a phone call between Sarah and Abby, long time friends—and now parents—who love to talk, read, and eat. Every episode we review books, share recipes, and explore a sometimes random/sometimes serious topic. Join us!

Final episode: looking back on 2024 and ahead to 2025
We discuss the past year and look ahead to 2025. Also, surprise! This is our final episode of the podcast and we share our favorite episode and what the pod has meant to us over the last 8 years.
Our favorite episodes: Quitting (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2018/12/04/graceful-quitting/), Hard times (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2019/10/08/hard-times/), Enneagram 8 Experience (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2021/08/10/our-enneagram-8-experience/) (Sarah) and Everyday superpowers (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2021/06/01/our-everyday-superpowers/) and Personal policies (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2022/09/06/personal-policies/) (Abby)
And because we didn't do a year in books episode this year, here (https://friendlierpodcast.com/2025/01/07/final-episode/) are our favorite reads from 2024.
