Female friendships can be tough - we've all been there! Feeling left out of friend groups, longing for the types of friendships we see in shows, movies and social media, having high expectations for friends and being let down... its all hard.

Alexandria is back again, and this time we are getting vulnerable and real about our own experiences with female friendships from grade school to now. We discuss friendship apps, expectations, friendships changing as we go through different life events, and the effort/mental load that comes with keeping friendships.
