Real Talk about Friend Trios

Ever been in a friendship trio? It can be complicated, right?

I get questions about friendship trios all the time, and today, we’re finally tackling this topic with my guest, Brandi Cambric. We cover maintaining a friendship for multiple decades, introducing your closest friends, and existing in a friendship trio. The good, the hard, and the reality!

If you’re out there looking for a friendship trio, today’s story is going to make you realize it’s not always easy. It’s definitely not equal. Everybody fits their roles. Everybody supports their individual friendships. Everybody puts in the work.

While recording, I had a big, stupid smile on my face. I love sharing these stories – the ups and downs, the journey of these friendships. This isn’t the only way to approach a friendship trio – it’s just an option. My hope is that you’ll take what feels right for you.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

• Brandi’s real-life friendship trio between two friends – one she’s had for 32 years, the other for 20, and how she introduced them to each other
• Friends who hold different parts of your life – it’s not a competition, and it won’t be equal, just different
• The places where people often get in trouble with friendship trios, and how to maintain a strong triangle (hint: each side/relationship needs to be strong!)
• The sides of the triangle, which won’t be equilateral – at times, it will be lopsided, some lines longer than others
• The importance of refilling your “well” in friendships, and how Brandi refills hers by disconnecting
