Navigating Friendships In Different Life Stages with My Friend Deanna

<p>In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Deanna, to talk honestly about what it&#39;s like navigating friendships across different life stages. She opens up about being single &amp; childfree while most of our friend group is deep in marriage and motherhood, the emotions that came up early on with it, and how they’ve shifted as she&#39;s gotten older. We talk about the importance of celebrating wins, how to approach hard conversations as friends, and what it’s like being the best aunt to our friends’ kids.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Takeaway / Points:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Our friendship origin story</p></li><li><p>Honest conversations about our friendship after I had my first kid </p></li><li><p>What it felt like for Deanna when everyone in our friend group started having kids</p></li><li><p>Whether she’s open to having children in the future</p></li><li><p>Why friendships should serve different purposes and the unfair expectations friends can put on each other</p></li><li><p>The &quot;seesaw&quot; theory of friendship</p></li><li><p>Advice for anyone feeling behind while their friends move into marriage and motherhood</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>Listen to my previous episodes with Deanna:</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/4vGzx8U2WvX4sE6hkCb4Iy?si=93MJGuv1SFGdJf2FnAlGCQ"><u>Honoring The Long Game In Friendships with Deanna DiCroce</u></a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5TQIlBsNMcFiGCGudWQonc?si=458c056ef582424c"><u>Q&amp;A of Surprise Questions Asked By My Friend, Deanna</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow me:</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cameronoaksrogers/"><u>@cameronoaksrogers</u></a></p><p>Substack: <a href="https://cameronoaksrogers.substack.com/"><u>Fill Your Cup</u></a></p><p>Website: <a href="http://cameronoaksrogers.com"><u>cameronoaksrogers.com</u></a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@cameronoaksrogers"><u>@cameronoaksrogers</u></a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA1ZezsFgphcediUbG_LldA"><u>Cameron Rogers</u></a></p><p><br></p>
