I love this podcast! Authentic friendships like this are truly hard to find eso as you get older. I think Helen’s fear and still having a bit of a wall with Mel is understandable. Sometimes relationships with siblings can get raw and even toxic … but bc they are family esp when parents are still around …you will still see them and forgive and forget. There’s sometimes a taking for granted mentality that no matter how mean and petty, the bond is always there for better or worse. Friendships can be more fragile. You could be best friends but someone moves and you drift away or bonds just get broken. It just means that you have to work harder and be more mindful to maintain relationships that you value.

This was a beautiful episode on friendship. Mel I love you're vulnerability and sharing about your fears of losing Helen. I think it's something not a lot of people would share or maybe can't articulate but you explained it so well and it was wonderful to see the two of you connect through that ❤

Loved this conversation! Mel, I especially loved how honest you were about being afraid to lose Helen! It's not easy to express and I thought you articulated it well. it's a natural emotion and just very human to have those feelings. I've also experienced it myself and have seen that being able to express it in a caring way like you did actually strengthens the relationship

Having that type of friendship I can see anyone being jealous and wanting! Definitely agree that the level of vulnerability has to be out there in order to get to that level.

I’m fascinated by Helen’s comments about her relationship with her sister vs w friends. We often do hold back with friends vs with siblings where you often feel more free. We need both though bc friends and family offer different things. Sisters know the real you behind the scenes. They’ve been there since the beginning so you can’t hide anything. But emotions can become highly subjective and colored by past hurts and sibling rivalry. Friendships can be a breath of fresh air. No baggage, more objective. They’re more based on shared interests and compatible personalities. The bond of blood w family doesn’t always mean you have other things in common. That said, passive aggressive behavior in any relationship is exhausting. I personally prefer more direct and honest friends. I have a childhood friend that says and acts in ways that make you go hmm but she’s soft spoken and not direct. It’s shared history that keeps us connected. Physical distance and only catching up every few years has stopped me from completely ending the friendship. I once confronted her and she played innocent. Growing older doesn’t automatically mean we mature and evolve for the better. Open, honest and yet respectful friendships like what Mel and Helen have are hard to find. It’s good to see. Life moves fast. Cherish the good ones.

As always, loved this epside of ABG! I have always admired the relationships each ABG member has with one another. It is so beautiful to see each dynamic that makes of the trio of ABG! It reminds me of my trio friend group I have. We all have fun together but we all have our own special relationship one-on-one with each other! Loved this!!!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older, 99.99% of the things you think matter to people, the reality is, nobody actually cares about it. And for the 0.01% that it does, that’s how you sort out the garbage that you discard in your life.
