Making friends as an adult shouldn't feel harder than finding a life partner... but for many of us, it does!  This week on Real Beauty with FD i'm joined by friendship coach Jenna Anderson to talk about the realities of adult friendships, boundaries, conflict, loneliness and creating relationships.  Hope you enjoy! hit me up at @francenejdavidson

This week on Real Beauty, i'm joined by Terese Murray & Dr Luke Foshee for a fascinating conversation about aesthetics, wellness, and confidence.  With decades of combined clinical experience, they share their perspectives on everything from injectables and regenerative treatments to hormone health and aging well.  If you've ever been curious about the world of aesthetic medicine, or wondered how wellness and beauty truly connect, this is an episode you won't want to miss.  Real out to me at @francenejdavidson

Today's guest is someone who has been incredibly open and honest about the realities of motherhood, beauty in your late 30's, and what it actually looks like surviving life with two young kids.  I'm joined by Masha Solechnik - digital creator, mum of two girls, and someone who shares the kind of content that makes you feel less alone in the chaos!  We talk about being in the trenches, as we both are with our second baby girls! Enjoy, and feel free to reach out @francenejdavidson

This week on Real Beauty, i'm joined by Nina Badzin, host of Dear Nina: conversations about friendship, for a conversation about something we don't talk enough about: adult frienships.  Why do friendships shift as we grow? why can motherhood change our circles? and why does being left out as an adult still sting like it did when we were younger?  an honest conversation about navigating motherhood relationships, dynamics and learning not to measure your worth by who includes you. Sometimes real beauty is found in relationships that stay - and the ones we outgrow.  Reach out to me @francenejdavidson, enjoy!

This episode is part of the Fertility Detour. A limited series under Real Beauty with FD Fertility doesn't always follow a straight line, and for many of us, the path to motherhood or the decision not to become one is filled with loss, uncertainty, resilience, and unexpected strength. In this series, I'm sharing my own story. I'm walking through each chapter of the fertility journey from miscarriage to IVF, to the emotional, physical, and mental toll it can take in a way that's honest, unfiltered, and nonclinical. This isn't about advice or perfect outcomes. It's about naming what's hard, honoring what's real, and holding space. For anyone who's found themselves on a fertility detour, they never planned for. If this is your story too, I see you. So let's talk about it. Contact me @francenejdavidson

This week I had the opportunity to speak with Jessica from @explainingIVF  This was an account I found after starting IVF, which was so helpful! Educational with FACTS!  As you will tell from this episode, I learned so much from this conversation!  Connect with me at @francenejdavidson

WHY don't we ever say this?  Hope you enjoy the episode, feel free to reach out @francenejdavidson
