This episode is all about friendship. Taylor first talks about her podcast launch party and how she was a little drizunk on champagne. She dives into how making friends in your 20s is like dating, navigating communication and boundaries in friendship, and how to maintain healthy relationships with your besties. Taylor gives her mother’s golden life advice (more than once), and shares some of her own experiences with friendship breakups, meeting new girlfriends, and her go-to friendship tip for those long-distance sisters.
