This week, it's just Rachel and Jeana.

No guest. No expert. Just two friends asking each other the friendship and connection questions they've always wanted to explore.

Why do some friendships feel effortless while others require more work? How do you handle jealousy when a friend gets something you want? What do you do when judgment sneaks into a relationship? And how many friendships do we actually need to feel connected?

Along the way, Rachel and Jeana discuss:

• Why maintaining your network is a life skill no one teaches
• The surprising difference between jealousy and judgment
• How to stop comparing your path to someone else's
• Why not every friendship needs to be a best friendship
• The categories of friends we all need (fun friends, deep-talk friends, emergency friends, and more)
• How to identify your "people"
• Why taking the call matters more than you think
• The role friendship plays in building a meaningful life

Plus: Jeana shares a major milestone for Petite Acres, and Rachel reflects on the overwhelming response to Lily's episode about autism and friendship.

Whether you're thinking about your closest relationships or wondering who you should text back right now, this conversation is an invitation to take stock of the people who matter most.
