This week, on With Amanda Keltz, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with my childhood friend, Becky, to dive into the beautifully messy world of friendships—how they evolve, sometimes fade, and how we learn to open up space for new connections. We talk about the natural process of growing with some friendships while outgrowing others, and the often-unspoken pressures of navigating friend dynamics as we grow up.

We also got into the big one: quality versus quantity. What does it really mean to have a fulfilling friendship? And how do you learn to define it in a way that feels right for you instead of what’s expected?

From there, we peel back another layer—what it means to truly be good with yourself. Because when you’re aligned with who you are, the right people, whether friends or romantic partners, tend to flow into your life naturally as well as feel empowered to decide how you show up to these relationships. It’s an honest conversation that I think is relatable to everyone.

On this week's episode of, With Amanda Keltz, my friend Victoria joins me to tell her story. The conversation is a heart-to-heart about life’s unexpected twists and turns, when the story doesn’t go the way you planned—and how to rebuild, not by forcing or fighting, but by leaning into a gentler, softer way of being.

Grief and loss are a big part of Victoria's journey, but they’re not the whole story. They were the moments that cracked things open, making space for new perspectives and new lifestyles, while still embracing and remembering the old. While she learned through navigating those phantom limbs—those parts of life that still echo with what once was—the experience brought clarity on how to move forward with grace and intention.Together, we’ll explore how to admit when we don’t have control, and why that surrender can be so powerful. One of the biggest surrenders we admit to is learning to find softness instead of muscling through the times that we want control. This one’s about rebuilding, reimagining, and finding beauty in the process. I can’t wait to share it with you.
