Summary

Why does friendship feel so much harder as a mom… even when your heart still longs for connection? In today’s episode, we’re having an honest, grace-filled conversation about the quiet shifts that happen in our friendships through motherhood. From changing capacity to evolving seasons, we’re unpacking why things don’t feel the same—and what God might be doing in the middle of it. This isn’t about forcing more relationships or striving to “get it right.” It’s about understanding where you are, releasing pressure, and learning how to approach friendship in a way that’s healthy, intentional, and rooted in truth. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, overlooked, or unsure of how to build meaningful friendships in this season… this conversation is for you. Pull up a seat, mama. You’re not alone. ☕💛 Also, here's the video I shared about friendships during my midlife journey: https://youtu.be/M8SbMNZai9A /// ✍Apply to be on the show: https://www.honeybook.com/widget/demetria_zinga_consulting_244093/cf_id/67d97e103753ac00254305ea 🎹Virtual Piano Lessons for Homeschoolers/After-Schoolers (& curious adults, too!): http://www.readandrhythm.com ▶️Join me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@momzestlife/
