How do you stay close when your best friend lives 800 miles away?
This week, Nikki and Damaris pull back the curtain on something listeners ask about all the time: how they've built (and maintained!) a friendship across different states, different schedules, and completely different seasons of life.
From comparing calendars and planning trips to debating hotels versus Airbnbs, they share the surprisingly thoughtful process behind creating experiences they actually look forward to. Along the way, they talk about how friendships evolve as kids grow up, why different life stages require different expectations, and how comparison can make us underestimate the demands of our own lives.
More than anything, this episode is about making room for the people who matter. Meaningful friendships are built through intention, flexibility, and showing up for each other, even when life gets busy.
Whether your closest friend lives down the street or across the country, this conversation might inspire you to make the call, book the trip, or simply put something on the calendar.
