Galentine's Day is all about supporting your girlfriends through life, so we reached out to our real life gals and asked them to come on the show! We chatted with eleven (11!) of the amazing women in our life about brave life decisions that they went through and how their community supported them through their journey. We discussed how friendship can transcend space, and how we personally use Marco Polo to connect with our friends, all day, every day.

We talked about everything from devastating heartbreak, to major career changes, transitioning into parenthood, handling a sick child in the hospital, becoming a working mother, finding yourself after divorce, child loss and changing the narrative around loss, supporting your friends through marriage growth - and of course, all of the beautiful, happy moments in friendship. Join us, and eleven of our people, for this very, very special episode of a Fresh Story.
