Friendship After Kids: Who Hijacked My Life?

00:00

17:01

This episode digs into the surprising ways friendships change after having kids. Yajaira and Megan share personal stories about the shock of becoming a parent, shifting priorities, and how relationships with friends who don’t have children naturally evolve. They talk about the need for grace—for both yourself and others—when expectations collide with reality, and how early judgments (“I’ll never…”) often dissolve once you’re in the thick of parenting. It’s a candid look at acceptance, the emotional transitions that come with parenthood, and how friendships can adapt rather than end when life gets reshuffled.
