Friendship is one of life’s greatest gifts—but it also has the power to deeply hurt. In this episode, Jamie and Heather explore the simple yet impactful ways we can practice invitation, inclusion, and intentional kindness in our everyday lives.

They also dive into the influence of social media, the way we model relationships for our kids, and the quiet but powerful role we play in helping others feel seen and valued.

Show notes:
In this episode, they reference the book Made for People by Justin Whitmel Earley
