Published on:
14th September, 2023
Most days, our besties are the ones carrying us through. They might be in the office next to us, living in a group chat, or a little more remote, but so many women come to rely on these essential relationships. Research even points to better health outcomes for people with close friends.
Join us this week for a conversation all about besties! How do we make friends, how do we keep them, and how does society view female friendships in general?
Topics this week include:
- All or nothing wellness mentalities and how that sets us up for failure.
- Passions, and what ever happened to the middle schoolers who watched it obsessively (It's us. We're making podcasts.)
- Why do we have to ask people for help, why can't they just read our minds?
- Adult Birthdays and all the feels.
- A card pull for the new moon in Virgo.
- The specific love language that is sending the most unhinged memes and TikToks to your friends with zero context.
- Picking best friends the first day of school, and why they're probably one of the students who sat near you.
- The Emo Kid 2004 to Sad Girl 2023 Pipeline
- Was the Avengers HQ just a long-term slumber party girls weekend?
This weeks challenge: Connect with a friend you're missing! Share this podcast episode with YOUR best friend! Tell the friends you take for granted exactly why you love them so much!
