Raising Good Friends: What We Didn’t Learn (But Our Daughters Need to Know)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504768/fan_mail/new] Raising Good Friends: What We Didn’t Learn (But Our Daughters Need to Know)  Most of us were never actually taught how to be good friends—we were taught to be nice, to include others, and to keep the peace. But no one showed us how to handle jealousy, navigate conflict, set boundaries, or speak up when something doesn’t feel right.  In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie get real about what we didn’t learn growing up—and why it matters now more than ever as we raise the next generation of girls.  From childhood friendship struggles to adult relationship patterns, they share personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and honest conversations about how friendships shape our lives. They also break down how parents can help their daughters build strong, healthy, emotionally safe friendships—without losing themselves in the process.  You’ll hear real talk about:  *  Why “being nice” isn’t enough in friendships  *  How to teach kids emotional awareness and boundaries  *  Why conflict resolution is a skill every child needs  *  The impact of social media on modern friendships  *  How to help girls handle jealousy, exclusion, and comparison  *  Why not every friendship should end when things get hard  If you’ve ever struggled with friendships—or want to raise daughters who won’t have to unlearn what you did—this episode is for you.   Because friendship isn’t something we’re just supposed to “figure out.”  It’s something we should have been taught.   This episode of Slightly Unsupervised was brought to you by the creators of Bestiemony®—the original friendship ceremony that proves soulmates don’t always come with a marriage license. Hosted by Jennifer and Jackie: best friends, business partners, and co-founders of the movement celebrating real, ride-or-die love. 💍 Book a Bestiemony: rhinestoneweddingchapel.com/bestiemony [https://www.rhinestoneweddingchapel.com/bestiemony] 📱 Follow us on Instagram at @Bestiemonies [https://www.instagram.com/bestiemonies] 📩 Got a bestie story to share or a subject request?

Friendship Bucket Lists: How to Stay Close, Make Memories, and Grow Together Over Time

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504768/fan_mail/new] Friendship Bucket Lists: How to Stay Close, Make Memories, and Grow Together Over Time  Bucket lists aren’t just for life… they’re for friendships too.  In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie break down why bestie bucket lists become essential as we get older—and why friendships don’t stay strong by accident anymore.  When we’re younger, connection is effortless. We’re in the same places, living the same seasons, building memories without even trying. But as life evolves—careers, families, responsibilities—friendships can quietly drift… not because the love is gone, but because the intention is.  This episode is all about changing that.  Jennifer and Jackie share real stories (including the legendary hike up a mountain to hang their class year in their late 40s 😅), plus how creating intentional experiences keeps friendships alive, deep, and meaningful.  They dive into:  *  What a bestie bucket list actually is (and why you need one now)  *  The difference between living life together vs. planning it on purpose *  Types of friendship bucket lists: fun, connection, growth, healing, and legacy  *  Why shared experiences matter more than just “keeping in touch”  *  How to create memories that last into your future (hello retirement home stories 👀)  *  Why it’s never too late to start doing life with your friends again  Because the truth is—  Friendships don’t fade from lack of love…  They fade from lack of intention.   And a bestie bucket list?  That’s how you choose each other—on purpose.   If this episode made you laugh, reminisce, or text your best friend… we’ll call that a win. 💛   👉 Subscribe, leave a review, and share with your ride-or-die.     This episode of Slightly Unsupervised was brought to you by the creators of Bestiemony®—the original friendship ceremony that proves soulmates don’t always come with a marriage license.

The Retirement Home Pact: Why Best Friends Plan to Grow Old Together (And Refuse to Drift Apart)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2504768/fan_mail/new] The Retirement Home Pact: Why Best Friends Plan to Grow Old Together (And Refuse to Drift Apart)   It started as a joke… but it turned into a pact.  In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie dive into their very real plan to end up in the same retirement home—and why it’s about so much more than aging, housing, or even logistics.  Because behind the laughter, the chaos, and the slightly unhinged planning… is something deeper:  👉 the decision to choose each other for life.  As women get older, friendships don’t just “stick”—they require intention, effort, and a shared vision for the future. Jennifer and Jackie open up about why they’ve spent years planning their “retirement home era,” how it gives them comfort knowing they won’t grow old alone, and why this kind of friendship bond is rare—but powerful.  They also get real (and hilarious) about:  *  What their future living situation might actually look like (retirement home vs. friend compound 👀)  *  Why women often outlive their partners—and what that means for friendship  *  The importance of planning emotional support, not just financial retirement  *  The role each bestie will play (caretaker, troublemaker, organizer… you already know 😂)  *  Why staying connected long-term doesn’t happen by accident  And yes… they’ve already trained their kids on what to smuggle in. (You’re welcome.)   Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about where they end up—  it’s about who they refuse to lose along the way.   If this episode made you laugh, think, or text your best friend… we’ll call that a win. 💛   👉 Subscribe, leave a review, and share with your ride-or-die.   This episode of Slightly Unsupervised was brought to you by the creators of Bestiemony®—the original friendship ceremony that proves soulmates don’t always come with a marriage license.
