Episode 15 - The Motherhood Drift: When Life Pulls Best Friends Apart 

Description:
Not every friendship ends with a fight. Sometimes, it just drifts. In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into the quiet heartbreak of friendships that change when one friend becomes a mother and the other doesn’t. 

From unanswered texts and missed invites to the unspoken wall that rises between diapers and happy hours, we unpack what it feels like on both sides of the motherhood divide. Jennifer shares her experience of becoming a mom before her friends, while Jackie reflects on being the ride-or-die bestie without kids at the time. 

Together, we talk about: 

• Why the drift happens (and why it’s not always personal)
• The guilt moms feel when their worlds shift overnight
• How single or childfree friends may feel left behind
• The importance of extending invitations—even if you think they’ll say no
• Why seasons of life don’t erase the bond of true besties

If you’ve ever felt the sting of growing apart—or the joy of reconnecting years later—this episode is for you. Because sometimes it’s not a breakup, it’s just a drift.
