We all want to feel seen by the people closest to us. But what happens when the pressure of a big life moment — a wedding, a milestone, a major ask — turns your closest friendships into a loyalty test?
In this episode, I sat down with Ru Wolle, journalist and author of *I Hope You Elope*, to talk about the unspoken expectations living inside female friendships and why so many women are walking away from weddings having lost a friend they thought they'd have forever.
This is the final episode of the visibility series — and it might be the most personal one yet.
What we cover:
- Why friendships get tested hardest around major life events
- The unspoken expectations that quietly build resentment between even the closest friends
- How social media has changed what we feel like we owe each other in big seasons
- What honest communication actually looks like when the stakes feel too high to say anything
