Modern day friendships - why do they feel so hard? Did you know each of your friendships have an “about” section for your origin story? Why do I still feel lonely even though I have close friends?Friendships enrich our lives so much, but we understand that it can be hard to maintain old friendships and find the time to make meaningful new ones as busy moms! We are so pleased to have author, speaker, and seasoned journalist Anna Goldfarb on today's episode to share her perspective on modern day friendships. While you may have several groups of friends (think friends from growing up, work friends, mom friends), those groups seldom overlap. Anna dives into WHY this has caused the new age problem of leaving us feeling lonely or isolated in friendships. We loved this idea she brought up about everyone having an “about section” for each of your friendships, and why that can actually help you to better understand your current friendship status and relationships with others. This episode is such a fun and energetic take on adult friendships that had us laughing along the way! We've talked about friendship plenty of times in other episodes, but this episode brought some new ideas forward. We'd love to hear what your takeaways were from today's episode, and don't forget to reach out to a friend and tell them you love them!Links & Resources:Free sample pack with purchase of LMNT10% off at BetterHelpJoin us on Patreon for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!Follow Anna Goldfarb on InstagramAnna's WebsiteJoin Anna's Substack, Friendship Explained with Anna GoldfarbPurchase Anna's Book; “Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections” And check out this free excerpt of the book!Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastJoin our exclusive community for bonus episodes, extra video content, book club and more!HERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we welcome Anna Goldfarb to the show, a journalist, speaker, and author of the book "Modern Friendship, How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections” to have a conversation with us about friendship - and so much more! So much to get to as we take on friendship in adulthood and the modern phenomenon many of us can relate to of where is home? What if we've moved around a lot as kids, as adults, or our families have relocated? What if we find ourselves in new places or maybe it's our friends who have moved away? How does this impact our friendships? We'll also dig into the sociology of friendship—are our societies set up for making connections? If not, how can overcome both visible and invisible barriers and create connections anyway? Then from parallel play to active vs. memorial friendships, we're breaking down different friendship dynamics, the reasons we make friends in the first place, and the qualities we look for in friends. Plus we'll touch on the loneliness epidemic, (why are so many of feeling lonely these days?) and the role of social media in our connections. Finally, what does hyper-individualism, or an "I don't owe anyone anything" mentality mean for our connections, relationships, and friendships? So, if you're curious to eavesdrop on a conversation about modern friendship between a bonafide friendship expert and a flirt coach, this episode is for you! Let's get into it!, Flirties!

Right on the heels of my power punch conversation about love and grief with Loren Ridinger is an equally power punch conversation with friendship expert Anna Goldfarb, here, appropriately, on Galentine's Day to talk about friendship, which you all know has been a running theme throughout season 15. I found this conversation with Anna to be so soul-enriching — I truly felt that I had met a new friend through our conversation. Anna talks to us today about what she wishes more people knew about friendship; she shares a powerful anecdote about her father and an old friend of his — sadly, like me, Anna lost her father far too soon; how society isn't set up to support adult friendships and how we can prioritize friendship in a world where so much is competing for our attention; why friendships need an “about” and how many friends we can realistically give our time to; the difference between bathtub friends, jacuzzi friends, swimming pool friends, bonfire friends, and water park friends; what to do when a friendship feels unbalanced and when expectations between friends aren't lining up; how we can be better friends; how desire, diligence, and delight are three keys to a happy friendship; and so much more. Anna is the author of the bookModern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections, which came out last June 4, and in it she puts forth the concept of “wholehearted friendship” and teaches us so many strategies for maintaining friendships, as well as making new ones. Anna's explanation of active friendships versus memorial friendships was such a lightbulb moment for me — we have so much to learn from her. Anna is a journalist, author, and speaker specializing in the nuances of friendships, relationships, and pop psychology. Her work has appeared inThe New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME, VICE, The Cut, The Washington Post, Vox,Real Simple, and Oprah Daily, and she has a Substack, “Friendship Explained,” that explains friendship through a pop culture lens.

Making friends as an adult can be confusing, awkward, and—let's be real—embarrassingly hard. Why is it that something that came so naturally on the playground feels like pulling teeth now? Is it just a symptom of getting older and more curmudgeonly, or does it reveal something deeper about our culture, our priorities, and even our fears? To help us untangle the magical overthinking of adult friendships, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) is joined by Anna Goldfarb (@annagoldfarb), journalist and author of Modern Friendship. Together, they discuss why so many grown-ups feel friendless and what we can do to bounce back in a time when community is more important than ever. *Sends “friendship calendar invite.” Stop putting off those doctors appointments and go to https://Zocdoc.com/MAGICAL to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.

We know how important friendships are. At the very least, for our health and well-being. But we also know how hard it gets to make and keep friends over the course of a lifetime, especially as we move, change jobs, and have families. That's why Anna Goldfarb's book, Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections, is so important. We need friendships for good health, and Anna's book teaches us ways to make, keep, and move on from toxic friends. And she readily shares what to say to build and deepen friendships. I think it's a terrific book for understanding how to be a better friend.

Episode 74 - Welcome to our weekly public and mental health update - Brain and Body Weekly in which Challenge Yo Self podcast covers news and research articles relating to Mental and Public Health. Ashley and Joy begin the episode with a Mental Health update presented by Joy. Covering an article “Should You Reach Out To An Old Friend Right Now?” published in the New York Times by Anna Goldfarb, Joy addresses the topic of connections during the pandemic. Many people are missing the art of connection during social distancing, which may lead people to think deeply about their old connections. Joy normalizes the practice of reminiscing about past relationships when people are in a place of isolation and vulnerability. Along with the feeling of boldness that has arisen from the understanding of “mortality salience” (look it up) and the need for comfort. The biggest question is, should those old relationships be rekindled and what are your intentions behind reaching out? Joy delves deep into this topic asking probing questions and challenging you to think about your feelings and motives before taking action to reconnect. In Public Health, Ashley discusses an article written by Elizabeth Yuko, from Rolling Stone. She discusses the legacy of Mary Gregory, the first Black Woman to graduate from St. Vincent. Mary led the way in providing excellent health care and genetic screening to the African Americans within her community. Mary's commitment led to important research by her daughter Leslie Gregory, who founded "Right To Health”, an organization which fights to declare racism as a public health crisis due to its physical/biological/health effects on the African American community. This article elicits a passionate conversation between the Challenge Yo Self Team that spans the health effects of racism on those affected and its connection with the disproportionate numbers of minorities contracting and dying from the Coronavirus. This episode of the Brain and Body update will enlighten you to community issues that have not been addressed along with challenging yourself to examine your motives and current state of health and connectivity.

How are you doing? I know this was a difficult week for The United States. I’m sure you’re feeling the stress of it– along with the stress of this lingering pandemic. In the past two months, four black people, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and George Floyd, were murdered. Justice took it’s sweet ass […]

Liz and Rico are advice givers by trade, but that doesn’t mean they’re equipped to give advice about how best to *ask for* advice. So, since getting the advice you need is a pretty important step in anyone’s work life, we called writer Anna Goldfarb, an expert on that subject. She wrote the article entitled, “The right way to ask ‘Can I Pick Your Brain?’” and is giving five ground rules for advice seekers in five-ish minutes. It’s a classic SFW segment we like to call “5-in-5.”Then, we’re getting into Lingo Bingo, which includes some not-so-pretty office jargon like “cannibalize.” Graphic! And we’ll also hear from listener Pam, who’s having some trouble escaping an overly-talkative colleague.Finally, listener Elizabeth, who was a caller from the show’s early days, has gotten a great job since her first chat with us. Now, she needs some advice on how to get more paid time off (A.K.A. our favorite version of time off).As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com). You can also find us on Twitter, we’re @SafeFor Work. Don't forget to follow our sage hosts on Twitter, too; they're @SSLiz and @RicoGagliano. And if you want to check out Liz’s other show, Satellite Sisters, you can find it on Apple Podcasts or Art19.

It seems like it oughta be the dream position for an employee: You’re doing a gig you kinda like, but maybe they don’t pay you enough, or give you enough of a benefits package… And then, you get another job offer. At last, you’re in the catbird seat! If your current gig wants to keep you, they’re gonna have to sweeten the pot. Then the new gig will offer even more to steal you!But then you’re gonna need to somehow play these two employers off each other without either of them resenting you for it. Here to guide us through that tightrope walk is Anna Goldfarb. She writes about relationships, careers and pop psychology for Vice, Medium and The Cut. Anna also wrote the New York Times article, “How to Gracefully Leverage an Outside Job Offer.”Then, we’re playing Lingo Bingo which includes some controversy about the word “optics.” And later, we hear from listener Wendy who needs a game plan on how to leave her first job out of college. Finally, Liz and Rico chat with listener Ellen, who is having a tough time with the receptionist at her new job.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

Author Anna Goldfarb is one of my favorite creative people, and I'm so happy to have her as a guest on GOAL MAGIC! I first learned about Anna back when she was the editor behind the wildly popular (but now retired) dating blog Shmitten Kitten. Since then, we’ve built up a friendship based upon our shared love of writing goofy email newsletters. Just to let you know, Anna writes my favorite newsletter in the whole world and you should totally go subscribe to it at annagoldfarb.com. Now happily married with Shmitten Kitten in her rearview mirror, Anna makes a living writing fearlessly about relationships, culture and food for publications like The New York Times, Vice and Thrillist. Anna writes with a bold and exuberant wit and she’s not afraid to offend people who might disagree with her. With titles like “What I wish I'd Known Before Moving in Together” “The Top 10 Worst Things I’ve Eaten at Trader Joe’s” and “What to Say When People Ask Why You’re Not Having Children” you can see why Anna’s articles get tons of impassioned comments from readers.  Anna is also the author of the humor memoir, Clearly, I Didn’t Think This Through: The Story of One Tall Girl’s Impulsive, Ill-Conceived, and Borderline Irresponsible Life Decisions. It’s a hilarious and heart-warming book.  We discuss these topics (and many more) in the episode:  Being intentional with your network How a creative network is different from other social networks How Anna knew her husband was "the one" How to survive as an adult living in your parents' basement The best locale for forcing yourself to write How to deal with one-star reviews online How we sometimes confuse our friends with our fans on social media The pros and cons of freelance writing The value of finding an "accountability buddy" Remember: success is not a straight line!

Being generous in our friendships makes us better friends and keeps solid friends in our lives. We're not talking about money here! To quote this week's guest, relationship-based therapist and author, Emma Nadler, "When we act more generously we feel better. So there's a lot in it for you, too." We discussed Emma's top five ways to be a more generous friend, and I added one of mine to the list. So yes, in 29 minutes you're getting SIX ways to be more generous in your friendships, which research links to a happier, more fulfilling life. Emma Nadler is a psychotherapist, author, and speaker. Her memoir, The Unlikely Village of Eden, is about learning to adapt when life doesn't go to plan, redefining community, and creating your own imperfect path. She has also written for The Washington Post, Salon, Huffington Post, and Newsweek, among others. In her private practice, she helps people build deeper relationships—including friendships—and cultivate more of what they want, even with life's inevitable challenges.
