02. The Mom Friend Era: Building Your Village with Brielle Cherie

Get A Handle On It

It’s easy to feel like the only one struggling. Social media makes it seem like everyone has their perfect mom group chat, their family down the street, their village locked in. But the reality? So many of us are still out here trying to find our people.

That’s why I’m sitting down with my friend Brielle Cherie, who went from being a young mom with no village to building a rock-solid support system from the ground up. We’re talking about the courage it takes to put yourself out there, the reality of making friends as an adult, and why having a community that truly gets you makes all the difference.

Because let’s be real: making friends as an adult is awkward, vulnerable, and sometimes just plain exhausting. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing life solo, this episode is for you.

Listen in as we get real about:

• Why making friends as an adult feels like dating, but somehow more stressful
• The myth of the “supermom” and why we need to stop wearing burnout as a badge of honor
• How to build a village when you don’t have family (or your besties) nearby
• How to find real connections on social media without falling into the comparison trap
• Faith, friendships, and why Brielle prays for the right people to show up in her life

Oh, and stick around until the end for a little rapid fire Q&A where Brielle spills the details on the most unhinged brand collab she’s ever been pitched. I promise, you won’t see this one coming.
