How to Start Over: Transition in Friendship
Recently, we (Jules and Mia) made a change to the Dear Bestie Show. We decided to focus on the podcast side of things. So, Julia packed up her microphone and we said goodbye to our dear friends at KAKU. We had a mountain of decisions ahead of us. We had to think about how and when to podcast (especially difficult with an ocean between us) and who would take on which responsibilities. It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but we are in it together. And that got us thinking... Every friendship faces transitions, both big and small. How many friendships fall apart during a transition simply because neither person knows what to do, or how to make it last? Tune in to this particularly friend-y episode for some laughs, some learns, and some joy.

Ep: 10 Friendship Graveyard
Is it time to dig a grave and lay a friendship to rest? Or is it time to bury the hatchet and mend fences? (Or perhaps it's time to stop mixing metaphors!) Mia and Jules discuss all the possible reasons, large and small, to give you a guide on when to end a friendship. Jules talks about lying to a friend about something small that turned into a big deal and Mia shares how talking about your friend in front of your kids is a really bad idea.

Customer Reviews
Beautifully supportive!!!
These ladies care about friendships in a day when tending to relationships is rare. What a gift to be reminded how important these anchors are. They bring surprising maturity to topics without making you snore! I applaud them for building up and encouraging others in a day and age where we more easily relinquish the gifts of sisterhood. Love the show!
So fun, such a great space
I am loving this new podcast. Folding laundry had never been so funny and so enjoyable. These two have such a genuine dynamic that I feel like I have spent an hour with my favorite girlfriends.
Refreshing and Fun!
Insightful, humorous and vulnerable--Jules & Mia share their stories with grace and sensitivity. Just what I needed!
