Friendships can hit different once you become a mum. The guilt, the distance, the changing priorities, the group chat you never reply to… and the pressure to be everything to everyone.

In this episode we read your messages and talk about:

• mum guilt and feeling like a “bad friend”

• friendships drifting (and how to handle it)

• setting boundaries without the panic

• how to ask for support from friends (and what to do when it’s not there)

If you’ve ever thought “is it just me?” — it’s not.
