New Year, Real Talk: Why Friendship Matters More With Age 

Episode Description:
As we get older, New Year’s hits different. It stops being about sparkly outfits and staying up till midnight, and starts becoming something deeper—a pause, a breath, a moment to feel the weight of everything we survived… and everyone who helped us survive it. 

In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie look back at the friendships, memories, and lessons that shaped their year. From sleeping on sidewalks at 17 waiting for the Rose Parade, to ringing in the New Year at home by 10 p.m., the girls reflect on how time changes everything—except the importance of having your ride-or-die. 

They talk about why friendship becomes more sacred with age, how New Year’s reminds us that time is moving faster than ever, and why choosing your people—intentionally and consistently—is the real resolution. 

This episode is cozy, nostalgic, honest, and full of the reminder every woman needs:
 Your friendships are the safety nets that carry you into every new year. Protect them. Prioritize them. And celebrate them.
