#2- Frances Mary

In this episode, Lacey Conner welcomes Frances Mary (FM) Loughead, creator of BFF Indy, a community for women in Indianapolis seeking meaningful friendships. BFF Indy createsv opportunities for women to connect through local events, such as coffee mornings and outdoor
adventures, fostering authentic relationships beyond the digital world.

Frances Mary shares her journey from growing up in Chicago to moving to Indianapolis in 2021 after getting married. In a new city without family or friends, she struggled to make connections. Inspired by a common interest in watching The Bachelorette, she began hosting watch parties, which soon evolved into brunches, winery visits, and dinners. Over time, she noticed that many women in her area were experiencing similar challenges in forming genuine connections. This led her to create BFF Indy, a platform that has since become an essential resource for women seeking real friendships and community in Indianapolis.
