What We’re Learning About Friendship (Part One) Katie Blackburn, Jill Atogwe, Ashlee Gadd

​​Tap tap. Is this thing on? Hey friends, we’re back! Today we’re kicking off a brand new season with two new hosts (welcome Katie + Jill!), and a two-part series on friendship. In part one, we’re chatting about lessons learned, convictions we’ve had along the way, and, most importantly, the perspective we’re practicing when it comes to friendships (new and old). Hint! It has a lot to do with grace, going with the flow, and leaning into gratitude no matter what season of friendship we’re in.


Show Notes

Thanks for listening to the Coffee + Crumbs podcast Season 7, Episode 1: What We’re Learning About Friendship (Part One)! We’re so happy you’re here. 

In this episode, Jill, Katie and Ashlee discuss:

  • Every friend can’t be everything for us

  • It’s good to have different kinds of friends for different parts of ourselves

  • Not every friendship is meant to last forever

  • Even introverts need to make friends

  • Friendships outside of your family are important, even if you have a lot of siblings

  • Friendships look different in different seasons (and that’s okay!)

  • Sometimes it’s better to have a few close friends than a bunch of friends you don’t get past surface level with

  • It’s never too late to make new friends, even in your mid-30s

  • Show up for friends before you show up for strangers
