Episode notes

This chapter examines the profound emotional connections fostered in female friendships, highlighting their expressive nature and the rapid bonding that often occurs through vulnerability. It also addresses the challenges these relationships face, including societal pressures and the potential for disappointment when high expectations are unmet.

In today's episode we break down the controversy but also the beauty of female friendship - why exactly are they so difficult? Or is that all a myth? It turns out what makes female friendships sometimes so difficult is also what makes them so rewarding - the intensity, the level of disclosure, the expectations, the bond! We also discuss how society tries to undermine the sacred nature of female friendship through competition, comparison and the cursed role of male attention, but also how to ensure healthy, long lasting connections with your girlfriends.
