Gal Pals: The Real Love Story
Wed Dec 24 2025
Friendships in your 20s were built on shared eyeliner and the same bar.Friendships in your 40s and 50s? Theyâre forged in the fires of marriage, divorce, teenagers, grief, career chaos, and at least one ER visit where someone filled out paperwork while crying.
In this episode of Whoâs Narrating My Life, Daisy and Carole unpack why womenâs friendships feel deeper, stronger, and more essential as we ageâand why your group chat might be the most emotionally functional system you have.
We talk about:⨠Why womenâs friendships become literal life-support systems⨠The essential types of gal pals every woman needs (from the Soft Place to Land to the Chaos Cousin)⨠Why women seem to dodge the loneliness epidemic⨠Letting go of friendships that no longer fitâpeacefully, quietly, with excellent skincare⨠Why celebrating wins (big or small) hits harder when women do it together⨠The truth about trauma-bonded friendships and the myth of âI just get along better with menâ
This episode is funny, affirming, and deeply validatingâa love letter to the women who show up with snacks, spreadsheets, bail money energy, and unwavering loyalty.
Check on your girls. Celebrate your girls. Text your girls.Theyâre not optionalâtheyâre the village. đ
