Childhood friends discuss small town starts, teen pregnancy, & what it's like to be a woman

My childhood best friend Morgan Thompson and I take a trip down memory lane! Morgan and I reminisce on how there wasn’t a time we don’t remember being friends, we remember showing animals during our 4-H days, and share memories from church youth group, and spill the beans on a very memorable night at a Kelly Clarkson concert!

We open up about how as teenagers we hid parts of who we truly were and how lucky we felt to be each other’s secret keepers; we also discuss the pros and cons of growing up in an evangelical church.

Morgan reflects on how being a teen mom saved her, and I share my regret that I didn’t know how to leave Four Oaks without ending our friendship. Then, we explain how we reconnected through a very special project where I asked Morgan, among others, “What’s it like to be a woman?” As a result, I learned that there’s no safe time to be a woman, how to be a trustworthy friend to women, and the 3 big struggles women face.

Morgan and I then go to a lighter note when we laugh about how you can’t get new old friends and we play the slowest-ever round of rapid fire questions!

Plus, Morgan explains the 3 turning points in her life story, shares that we’re all a work in progress, sheds light on how DIY projects and nature lead to authenticity, and gives us some great resources for BWYTA hacks!
