    The Friendship Struggle No One Talks About: I Called Myself a Woman Repellent

    Making friends as a grown woman hits different. Liv gets brutally honest about calling herself a "woman repellent" and why female friendships have been so hard to build after 40. We talk about the loneliness no one warns you about. The one-sided friendships you outgrow. The family members who do not show up when life falls apart. Jealousy and mean-girl energy that does not disappear with age. And why protecting your peace means being extremely selective about who gets access to your energy. Mello brings the male perspective on what healthy friendship looks like and how reciprocity is the line between a real friend and an associate. If you have ever felt like making authentic friendships in midlife is impossible, this conversation is for you. #LegacyJourneys #FemaleFriendships #MidlifeFriendship Welcome to Legacy Journeys — Where Love, Life, and Laughter After 40 Take Center StageWe’re Liv and Mello, a real couple navigating the joys and challenges of love, marriage, and personal growth in midlife.
