What if moms recorded their conversations when they got together? There’s something wonderful about having casual conversations on a specific topic when out to dinner, having coffee, drinking wine or on a walk with other moms. We wanted to capture these conversations and share them with you. In this episode and once a month going forward, we will be joined by some of our HER Circle members (HER Circle is the mom community created by HER Health Collective) for special episodes called, Mom Chats.


In this Mom Chat episode, we are joined by two of our cherished HER Circle members, Rachael and Rhyan. We will be discussing the topic of adult friendships and friendships in motherhood specifically developing, nurturing and maintaining friendships.
