Girls’ Night Out in your 20s: dancing on tables, bonding with strangers in the bathroom.
Girls’ Night Out as a mom: dry heaving after 2 glasses of wine, if you get home after 10 pm, expect to nurse a 24-hour headache the next day.
In this episode of Drafting Motherhood, I’m sharing my personal evolution of GNO, from chaotic nights out to savoring connection through conversations over shared desserts and espresso martinis.
But it’s not just laughs…we’re also getting into the science behind girls’ night and why spending time with friends has real psychological and physical health benefits. (Use this as your official doctor’s note to leave the house.)
But most importantly, this is not just “mom’s night out.” We were girls before we were moms, and we still need spaces where we can show up as ourselves, without anyone saying our name 700 times in a row.
My dream GNO these days looks like a good restaurant, cackling until our cheeks hurt, and being back home by 9:30 pm, with enough time to do my 10-step skincare routine.
At the end of the night, it doesn’t matter where we go or what we do; it’s about how full our cup feels after.
So if you’ve been putting off that girls’ night, consider this your sign. Call your friends. Make the reservation. You deserve it.
Let’s keep talking. 🫶🏼
