What happens when friendships shift, fade, or grow in unexpected ways?

In this episode of It’s Both, Nikki P is joined by her friend LaKreasha Scharcklet for an authentic conversation about the emotional complexities of adult friendships. From the grief of losing connection to the joy of intentional reconnection, they explore how friendships evolve through life transitions like moving, marriage, parenthood, and personal growth.
