Get ready to laugh! Today Melissa Radke joins me for a hilarious and heartfelt conversation. Her new book Chicken-Fried Women will make you giggle, cry, and think about the women and friendships in your life. We cover many hilarious topics including spray tans, garage sale bras, swim gym, southern church in the 80’s, and laundry on the couch. At the heart of the book is how to navigate adult friendships and here is more of what we talked about:


  • What it means to find your people—your chicken-fried women- battered and bruised but still tender on the inside

  • Healing a mother-daughter relationship with kindness and boundaries

  • How to divorce a girlfriend (and maybe get her back)

  • Stick around to the end where Melissa shares the best advice on what it feels like to build your own table (even when it’s hard or uncomfortable)
