Are Busy Friends Actually Better Friends? 

This week on Anything But Average Mondays, Brittany and Christina are back with one of those conversations that starts with spilled coffee and somehow ends up in a very real conversation about friendship, capacity, busy seasons, and the pressure we put on ourselves.

They dive into the question: Are busy friends better friends?

And like most real-life conversations, the answer isn’t black and white.

From packed schedules and changing priorities to how friendship looks in different seasons of life, this episode is a reminder that being busy does not make someone a better friend — and being unavailable sometimes does not make someone a bad one either.

They also chat about travel life, being present in different environments, rest, relationships, screenshot chaos, eating habits when you’re home alone, simple protein-packed meals, and why so many women need to stop judging themselves so harshly.

This one feels like sitting in on a real girlfriend conversation — honest, funny, relatable, and full of little reminders we all need.

In This Episode

The hilarious reality of spilled coffee, too many drinks on the table, and thousands of screenshots

How many photos is too many photos on your phone

Why different seasons of life change how we show up in friendship

Are busy people better at making time because they schedule it

Why not taking things personally in friendship changes everything

The difference between being full and being overextended

FOMO of life and wanting to say yes to what matters

Why getting away changes your energy, presence, and relationship

What Brittany and Christina actually eat when they’re home alone

Simple thoughts on protein, creatine, leftovers, and easy food habits

A reminder to stop shaming yourself and trust that you’re doing the best you can

Key Takeaway

A good friend is not defined by how busy they are.

A good friend is defined by how they make you feel, how they show up when they can, and the grace they give in the seasons when life feels full.

We’re all doing the best we can with the capacity we have.

Less judgment. Less guilt. More grace. More honesty. More real friendship.
