From oversharing and overgiving to navigating friendship breakups, changing life stages, and the pressure to turn every connection into something deeper, this is an honest conversation about how relationships evolve over time.</p><p><br></p><p>We explore what it means to build intentional friendships rooted in wisdom, discernment, and faith. From founder friendships and motherhood to divorce, identity, trust, and belonging, we discuss how our relationship with God shapes the way we build, release, and navigate connection with others.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation is about learning how to love people deeply without losing yourself, building relationships that genuinely support who we are becoming, and understanding that not every connection is meant to last forever.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>A new chapter of The Magnify Conversations</strong></p><p><br></p><p>This episode brings together four co-hosts - Ruth, Emma, Sinead and Veena - with different stories, perspectives and seasons of life.
