Molly Sims doesn’t take friendship lightly — at least according to Jennifer Garner.

Garner appears on the Tuesday, Nov. 12 episode of the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, which Sims cohosts with best friend Emese Gormley. During the conversation, the women discussed everything from childhood nutrition to coping with personal loss.

When asked how she stays “positive,” the 13 Going on 30 actress, 52, replied, “Molly, of all people you know better than anyone that I don’t all the time,” going on to reveal that Sims once helped her through a tough personal moment.

“… I remember you throwing a party and I — I walked in and I just was not ready to be around people for whatever I was going through at the time,” Garner recalled. “And I got super, super weepy and emotional, and you just stopped and helped me and said, ‘What do you need to do?’ “

“And I said, ‘I think I should go home,’ and you were like, ‘Okay, great. Let me walk you to your car,’ ” the Elektra star continued, adding, “and you gave me a hug and you sent me on my way. And that was exactly [it].”

“We just — we need each other, and we also need to give ourselves and each other permission to be where we are,” she concluded.

Garner also stressed the importance of self-acceptance in moments when we are not feeling our best.

“ … we have to allow ourselves to not be perfect all the time, to not be in the mood all the time, to not be smiley,” the Alias star said.

Pivoting to the future, Garner shared that she is currently getting in shape for season 2 of her Apple TV thriller The Last Thing He Told Me.

“I have to box in it just for a minute,” she told the hosts. “But you can’t box for a minute without like a month or two of hard training,” she explained, adding, “It’s just the hardest thing in the world.”

The mom-of-three also shared that she has been extremely busy with Once Upon a Farm, the organic baby food company she’s co-owned since 2017.

“I love going to meet the Stemmelt family who grow our apples, or the spinach people, or [the] manufacturing plants,” she shared. “And I love going to retailers and love having — I just like relationships. I like knowing people, you know?”
