Has Our Friendship Changed Since I Had A Baby?

How do friendships change when one of you has a baby? Today I'm doing an old school YouTube collab with my friends Lucy Moon and Leena Norms to talk about whether our friendship has changed since I've had a baby (for good, bad, or otherwise) and how friendship dynamics change through the years 🫂Plus we dive into some of your questions about avoiding comparison, setting boundaries around hanging out with/without kids, and maintaining friendships across different life stages and busy life schedules! Obviously these are just our experiences navigating friendships but I'd love to hear some of yours in the comments too!
