Comparing our actual friendships to what we see on "Friends" and "Sex and The City" will probably leave us sad AF. Good thing we can stop that comparison...like right this very moment. Let's talk about it. Also, wtf was up with that "Stranger Things" finale??

I'm literally up the night before this is due to go out to you, our wonderful friends, putting this description together. If you HATE the term "networking", always wondered what it'd be like to randomly join an improv class and/or have absolutely no idea what Internal Family Systems therapy is.. there's some REALLY good stuff in here. So stop reading this and listen already!

Hey friend lab fam, in this conversation Bryce & I reflect on the past year- the seeds planted, soil tended, and growth that we couldn't have predicted. We’re talking about the (slightly unsettling) mix of hope, pressure, reflection, and impatience that shows up around New Year’s, and how we plan to approach goals for 2026 with a ton of grace.

We wanted you to have this episode today as a reminder that growth doesn’t care about deadlines, and self-compassion is part of maturation, not a detour from it. Here's to a new year and new Friend Lab connections to come.

Love, Liz

P.S. Happy F**kin' New Year!
