The Great Friendship Shift Nobody Warned You About
In today’s episode of Live Your Muse, we’re talking about the friendship shift no one warns you about in your mid-to-late twenties. One day it’s college bars and late-night pizza, the next it’s office jobs… and somehow only four friends remain. We’re here to remind you to show up for the friendships that matter. Life’s big milestones—babies, weddings, career changes—have a way of revealing your true village, and showing you who’s meant to be in it.
