You’re Not Meant to Mother Alone: The Power of Showing Up in Friendship | Ashlee Gadd (EP442)

You’re Not Meant to Mother Alone: The Power of Showing Up in Friendship | Ashlee Gadd (EP442)

Motherhood was never meant to be a solo sport. In this episode, Diane sits down with Ashlee Gadd - founder of Coffee + Crumbs and editor of You’re in Good Company - to talk about redefining hospitality and building deep, meaningful friendships in the midst of busy mom life. Together, they explore why real community doesn’t require Pinterest-perfect dinners, but simple, consistent acts of showing up - often imperfectly. Ashlee shares how food becomes a vehicle for connection, why adult friendship can feel so hard, and how moms can create sacred, memorable moments without adding pressure to their plates. If you’ve been craving deeper connection or wondering how to cultivate community in this season, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone - and you are the “secret sauce.”
