What if your next best friend is just a ping away?
In this episode, Jessica sits down with Hope and Alyssa, two TBMers who manifested a deep, lifelong friendship after moving to Amsterdam from opposite sides of the world. A heart-led list, a leap of faith, and a shared commitment to their TBM work turned a chance meeting at a playground into a soul-deep bond.
They unpack what it really takes to move a friendship from first hello to true intimacy: listening to your pings even when the timing looks wrong, moving through fear of rejection, choosing authenticity over performance, and bringing the same intention to friendship that we bring to dating.
If you've ever wondered whether deep, real friendship is still possible in this season of your life, this is your reminder that it absolutely is. The people you're looking for may be looking for you too. And it all starts by trusting yourself enough to show up as exactly who you are.
