Episode notes

Express admiration for friends openly and consistently, as this helps diminish insecurities and competition within relationships. Emphasize collaboration over rivalry, especially in shared industries. Acknowledge that friendships can evolve without the rigid milestones typical of romantic relationships, allowing for greater flexibility and the capacity to maintain multiple friendships simultaneously. Embrace the dynamic nature of friendships, recognizing that they can change and grow in ways that differ markedly from romantic attachments.

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.
