What happens when two high school besties grow up, grow families, and still find time to laugh (and cry) through it all?

In this episode, Jess and her soul-sister Amber take a walk down memory lane—complete with awkward teen moments and heartfelt confessions. From navigating the beautiful chaos of blended families to learning how to show up for each other in big life transitions, they crack open what it really means to hold space for someone over the years. It’s refreshing, raw, and a little ridiculous—in the best way.

This one’s for the ride-or-dies, the sister-friends, and anyone who knows that friendships like this don’t come around often.
