In this warm and personal episode, Anja reconnects with her longtime friend Mpho, who lives in Johannesburg, South Africa. Together, they explore what it means to nurture friendship across continents — from the challenges of staying in touch to the beauty of intentional connection.

They talk about:

• What “home” means when you’ve lived in many places

• How to make long-distance friendships last

• The heartbreak (and growth) of friendship breakups

• Making new friends as adults

Mpho will be joining the Home Podcast regularly — every few weeks — so if there are topics you’d love us to talk about, feel free to send your suggestions our way!
