Turning Points Episode 6: Holding Each Other Through Life: A Friendship Story
It all started with a trip. Three friends showed up, and what began that day became the blueprint for a life-giving friendship five years later.
In this episode, Angella sits down with two of her closest friends, Dorcus Nakachwa and Margaret Odero, to reflect on the friendship they’ve nurtured over the past five years. The spontaneous trip unexpectedly bonded the three women to be each other’s anchors through heartbreaks, career struggles, and life transitions. The group talks about the intentionality, accountability, and safe space that keep their friendship alive across countries and time zones.
The group shares stories of supporting one another, learning together (including how money and investing became a group conversation), and how the qualities of your friends ultimately shape the kind of person you become. This is a raw, honest, and joy-filled conversation about the beauty of women’s friendships, the work it takes to sustain them, and why they can become a blueprint for love, trust, and growth in every area of life.
