A Conversation On Friendship w/ special guest Janine

This episode is a special one. Kanisha sits down with her longtime friend Janine to talk about how they met in college, the memories that still make them laugh, and the question at the center of it all: do we get lucky with good friends, or do we choose them well and keep choosing them over time? It’s an honest conversation about girlhood, growth, and the love it takes to stay connected through every season of life.

Friendship Maintenance

I’m Back!! In this episode, I talk about how friendships change as life gets busier. Between work, kids, distance, and everything else, it’s easy to assume the people we love will always be there—but that’s not always how it works. Come share a moment when my friends held me accountable in a way I didn’t expect, and how that shifted how I show up in my relationships. This is really about effort, intention, and not taking the people who matter for granted.
