About this listen

Read by the authors.

Is it just me? Am I the only one who's lonely? Am I the only one without friends?

If you've ever asked yourself these questions, Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, founders of the widely popular "Sister, I Am with You," community, are raising their hands to say, "Yeah, us too." And they want to encourage, equip, and reassure you that you have what it takes to build the kind of friendships you want.

Loneliness doesn't care what age you are, how many Instagram followers you have, or where you call home. It doesn't care how "put together" you appear to the outside world. We have a collective wound that only authentic sisterhood can heal.

With real-life vulnerability and "I’ve been there, too" wisdom about building deep and satisfying friendships, Amy and Jess unpack the lies we've been told about friendship and show you how to:

  • break free from unhealthy habits that keep you from experiencing real connection
  • find the confidence to live freely and without fear of rejection
  • be a good friend even though you can't be a perfect one
  • heal from a friend breakup--and find the courage to try again
  • intentionally pursue friends in everyday life

You deserve a community of loving, supportive, there-for-you friends. If you're ready to change the way you think about friendship, let I'll Be There (But I'll Be Wearing Sweatpants) be your new go-to guide for navigating the ups and downs of everyday life with your nearest and dearest. Let's start making friendship a priority--together.

Life is meant to be shared with people who celebrate you, appreciate you, and enjoy just hanging out with you. Significant others and spouses are great, and yet, we weren’t designed to be paired off in exclusion or have all our needs met by any one person. We need each other.
This book is a wonderful exploration of the power of friendship, the joys and sorrows along the way, and top tips on how to find your people.

I loved this book so much! I remember living out of my hometown away from my family and struggling to make friends. And today, even though I am back in my hometown, I am a single mom who has to work to provide for her kid and it is soooo hard to find my place in people’s lives or friends who fit in with my current situation. And good reminder to keep an open mind when I may be the one at fault in a relationship going sour.

Loved it!

This book is so helpful for navigating friendships and the hard parts that no one else really talks about. I love the blend of personal stories along with the wisdom they share. It’s really challenged me to face my own insecurities with friends and to give extra grace.

A lot of wisdom and relatability

The authors were humble, funny and encouraging. My best friend decided that we should both read this book while she was in Israel far a couple of weeks. She is that friend I waited so long to have! I told her she could never break up with me nor would I breakup with her. Thank you both for bearing your souls so that your listeners can feel normal. Thank you for saying that it is okay for things or mistakes to happen.
P.S. If I ever have a farm, I would totally steal all your farm animal names!

Very Inspirational! So encouraging!

Friendships are messy, especially Christian friendships. I’m so glad that while I’m in the middle of the mess I also have Amy and Jess by my side.

What a wonderful read!

I was absolutely connecting with the friendship side of this book, but if you are any other region or not religious at all, it is heavily “God”.

Heavily religious
