Podcasts about Friendship

Narrator: Thomas Jones

In part Two of this weeks episode of So Shameless, the crew gets into dating, gender roles, friendship boundaries and what actually counts as disrespect when you're in a relationship. Should men be expected to handle the traditionally masculine things while women handle the feminine things in a relationship—or are those expectations outdated? We also debate whether men ruin friendships with women by eventually wanting sex, and whether a woman planning AND paying for the third date is showing healthy interest or doing way too much, way too soon. Plus, do men take women who are constantly dating different people seriously when it comes time to choose a relationship? Paris opens up about her history of dating the “fun guys”—men who are into clubs, bars, cars, clothes and the lifestyle—and whether choosing excitement over stability may have been working against her. Then we get into social media relationship boundaries: Is a man liking other women's pictures on Instagram harmless, or is it disrespectful to his relationship? Finally, the crew reacts to Funky Dineva's controversial comments about parents bringing autistic children into public spaces where people have a “reasonable expectation of peace,” including restaurants and airplanes—and whether expecting that kind of “peace” in a shared public space is reasonable in the first place. Dating expectations. Gender roles. Friendship. Social media. Relationship boundaries. And another conversation where the cast of So Shameless and their guests probably aren't going to agree on anything. Enjoy!

Every person in your life is telling you the truth about themselves right now, just not with their mouth. That is the filter I open this weekend mashup with, and it is why I brought together some of the sharpest minds I know on reading people, building real confidence and telling the difference between someone who loves you and someone who is just good at saying it. Dr. Marisa Franco is breaking down the actual research on why some friendships take root and others fade. Brendon Burchard and I get into the two small promises I started keeping to myself and how the habit of keeping tiny commitments directly relates to whether you can trust a person or not. Then you hear the raw truth from a man who finished Navy SEAL training, Army Ranger School and Air Force tech school in one lifetime, David Goggins, describing the 19 hours that broke him down and rebuilt him at the same time. What he says about the people from his old life who still want to pull him back will stick with you. Here's what you'll walk away with: Filter test: the exact shift in how you watch people that tells you instantly who is real. Friendship science: why the group you show up to again and again matters more than how the first meeting felt. Confidence rebuild: the two tiny promises that pulled me out of my lowest point. The cookie jar: how to reach for proof of your own toughness when your body wants to quit. The lens flip: one question that will change how every person in your life experiences you. I have spent the past few years listening less and watching more, and every relationship in my life is better for it. Watch the people around you this week instead of just listening to them, and you will already understand more about your life than you did yesterday.

How did you feel? Why do you think they didn't stop? How did you handle the situation? - Why is it not okay for friends to punish each other? How is punishment different from a logical consequence? (Hint: A logical consequence is the natural result of an action. For instance, if you are mean to a friend, the logical consequence is that the friend won't want to be around you. If you blab a friend's secret, the logical consequence is that friend won't trust you with another secret. ) *** You might also like these podcast episodes:Ep. 43 - Friend cut her hair!

Friendship problems rarely arrive with a handy instruction manual. A child comes home hurt, angry, or feeling left out, and a parent is left wondering whether to listen, offer advice, step in, or quietly confiscate every phone in the house.In this episode of The Whinypaluza Podcast, Rebecca Greene talks with award-winning author, speaker, and parenting resource expert Jessica Speer about helping children and teens navigate the complicated social world of friendships, peer pressure, group dynamics, screens, and middle school.Jessica explains that many friendship struggles are not evidence that a child or friend is “bad.” Often, young people are still learning communication, conflict resolution, boundary-setting, and other social-emotional skills. Parents can help by listening without immediately trying to fix the problem, practicing difficult conversations, and teaching children to notice when repeated harmful behavior may require a stronger boundary.Rebecca and Jessica also discuss why social challenges feel more intense in a digital world. Group chats and social media can keep friendship drama going long after the school day ends, leaving children with more opportunities to compare, assume, ruminate, and feel excluded. Jessica offers practical guidance for talking about technology without making every conversation negative, preparing children for peer pressure, and creating a safe plan that allows them to call home when they need help.At the heart of the conversation is the power of co-regulation. When a child comes home emotionally overwhelmed, a parent's calm presence can help settle the child's nervous system. Children do not always need an immediate solution. They need to feel seen, heard, and supported by a steady adult who believes in them.In This Episode, You Will Learn✓ How to distinguish normal friendship conflict from repeated behavior that may require stronger boundaries.✓ Why tweens and teens may remain in unhealthy friend groups because belonging feels developmentally essential.✓ How phones, group chats, and social media can intensify exclusion, comparison, assumptions, and anxiety.✓ Why a parent's calm nervous system can help an emotionally overwhelmed child co-regulate.✓ Which physical and behavioral changes may signal that a child needs additional support.Jessica leaves parents with an honest and hopeful reminder: children do not need perfect parents who solve every social problem. They need caring adults who keep learning, stay connected, model healthy responses, and take care of their own well-being too.Listen to The Whinypaluza Podcast on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whinypaluza-podcast/id1534167756If this episode helps your family, please like, follow, share it with another parent, and leave a review.About Jessica SpeerJessica Speer is an award-winning author, speaker, and parenting resource expert who helps children, teens, and families navigate friendships, social challenges, digital life, and growing up with confidence.

In June, I sent out a Friday Thread prompt that readers had been asking for, in one shape or another, for years: How do we talk about non-romantic breakups? Why do they sting SO MUCH? Why is the vocabulary around a friend breakup so paltry? I know many people found tremendous solace just reading through other people's stories and knowing that 1) friend breakups are part of life and 2) yes, as a culture, we are very bad at acknowledging them let alone grieving them. For this month's subscriber-only bonus episode, Margaret and I decided to do a deep read of the thread — and a deep revisiting of our own friend histories — to talk about different "buckets" of friend breakups, how we process them in the moment and as we age, what facilitates them (bad communication!), and why they're sometimes necessary. Discussed therein: ghosting, sub-tweeting, sucky boyfriends, recurring dreams about long-ago friends, expectation mismatches, friendship promiscuity, the dearth of pop culture representations of (lasting, non-comedic) friend breakups, and more.

Has your period suddenly started behaving completely differently? Maybe your cycles are shorter or longer. PMS hits harder. Your breasts are sore, cravings are stronger, your mood changes dramatically, or your libido seems to have disappeared. In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Beeya co-founders Kaya and Yasmin Purohit to explore what your changing cycle may be telling you, especially as you move into your late 30s and 40s. Yasmin shares her experience coming off birth control after 15 years and struggling for two years with anxiety, painful cramps, breast tenderness, and acne. Together, they explore why these symptoms deserve attention and how foundational habits like sleep, movement, whole foods, and blood sugar stability can support hormone health. They also unpack seed cycling, including exactly how it works, the nutrients different seeds provide throughout the menstrual cycle, what the research currently supports, and why women in perimenopause have become an especially important part of Beeya's community. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that your changing cycle is information. Listen now to learn how to recognize the clues your body is giving you and support your hormones without making wellness another overwhelming job. KAYA & YASMIN PUROHIT Kaya and Yasmin Purohit are the co-founders of Beeya, a women's wellness brand focused on helping women support their bodies through PMS, perimenopause, irregular cycles, fertility, and beyond. After Yasmin struggled with severe symptoms following 15 years on birth control, she and Kaya discovered seed cycling and set out to make the practice simpler and more accessible for modern women. Their work combines nutrition, education, and practical daily rituals designed to help women better understand and support their cycles. IN THIS EPISODE Why changing periods can be an early clue that you're entering perimenopause Yasmin's experience after coming off birth control following 15 years on the pill How sleep, movement, and whole-food nutrition can affect your cycle The surprising connection between blood sugar, progesterone, PMS, anxiety, and rage What seed cycling is and how to use different seeds throughout your cycle Why women in perimenopause may benefit from additional nutritional support How postpartum and perimenopause can overlap for women having children later Why community, joy, and flexibility belong in the conversation about women's health QUOTES “Your cycle is information.

We spend so much time fearing getting older. What if it's actually the best part? In this episode of Superwomen, I sat down with the Real Housewives of New York City alum, Dorinda Medley to discuss why getting older means more self-acceptance, what dating and friendship look like in your later years, and how life changes after the end of a marriage. We're joined by another NYC icon: Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell. All together, we reminisce about the New York of the ‘90s and 2000s, why dating was way easier back then, and how close female friendships shaped that era. If there's one thing the three women in this conversation have in common, it's that we've each lived through a lot. Let this episode be your reminder that you've got so much more ahead.

SUMMARY Most of us move through our days on autopilot, heads down, running our own agenda. The struggling dad at church, the neighbor whose marriage is barely holding on, the single mom wrestling groceries into her car — we walk right past. In Part 7 of the Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 29 of the DadAwesome book and shares an archive clip with Danny Silk about the isolation trap, why control is the wrong tool for fathering, and what a home that resembles heaven actually feels like. Key Takeaways God doesn't watch from the bleachers. He jumps into the mess with us, and He often chooses to answer desperate prayers through ordinary people who are willing to notice and respond. You already have what someone needs. Our Italian angel offered three things any of us can give: time, trust, and troubleshooting. Not more resources — just a willingness to make available what's already in your hands. Interruptions are often God appointments. When someone opens up about their pain, that's not small talk. It's a door opening. Isolation is the enemy's trap for men. Alone, you become master and ruler of your own reality, and that's the fast track to deception. Multiplication requires brotherhood. You cannot control your children — so learn to control yourself. When intimidation or the threat of punishment is the most-used tool in your toolbox, you've built a culture in your home that doesn't resemble heaven. A small yes can get multiplied by 100. A bold prayer for $10,000 became more than $1 million raised for the fatherless across 30 events and over 1,000 men. Quotes "God jumps into our mess with us. He's not watching from the bleachers." (05:35) "Every day we walk past people having their own version of lost in Florence." (06:15) "You don't need more to make a big difference. You've already got what someone desperately needs. You just need to be willing to share it." (11:15) "I'm learning to see struggling people as potential God appointments instead of interruptions." (11:30) "As fathers, we teach our children more through our responses to others' needs than through our lectures about compassion." (12:40) "God takes our small yes and multiplies it into something far bigger than we imagined." (16:45) "The trap of the enemy for men in particular is isolation. Because now you become master and ruler of reality, and that is the fast track to deception." (19:20) — Danny Silk "When the most used tool in my toolbox as a parent is some form of intimidation or the threat of punishment, then I have created a culture in my home that does not resemble heaven." (20:45) — Danny Silk "My Father is much more concerned about my heart connection to Him than He is controlling me." (21:40) — Danny Silk "If you don't learn to control yourself, you are out of control." (22:20) — Danny Silk Action Steps: I. Reflection Name your phase. Childish, young adult, young married, young dad, wise dad — where are you actually living right now? Who have you walked past? Think back over the last month. Who could have used a pause in your care? Take inventory. Time, trust, troubleshooting. Skills, margin, network, resources, lived experience. What do you have that someone else might be desperate for? II. Multiplication Where are you isolated? You will not see a multiplication miracle alone. Name the guys in your foxhole, or admit you need to build that crew. Serve with someone. When a dad needs help with a yard project, bring another dad along. Friendship grows shoulder to shoulder. Find the side door. Pick a date and a challenge rather than "let's just sit and talk." A race, a ride, a project — action is often the side door to a man's heart. III. Activation Pray for a God appointment this week. Stay alert for the person who needs time, generosity, care, or counsel. Let your kids watch. Go out of your way to show compassion within sight of your children. Don't hustle on to the next thing. Run the small yes. Is there something God put on your heart that you keep postponing? What if now is the time? Run it as an experiment — what could it hurt?

Last week's guest said something that really stuck with me: “The cost of community is disappointment.”We feel disappointed when a friend cancels at the last minute, when someone doesn't show up the way we hoped they would, when we feel left out, and when the birthday or baby shower or hard season does not look the way we imagined it would. And most of us do not really want to admit how much disappointment exists inside our friendships, because we want friendship to feel like joy, ease, fun, support, and belonging.In today's episode, I'm talking about the many ways disappointment appears in friendship, why the opposite of disappointment might be apathy, and how I try to sit with it when it stings.In this episode you'll hear about:How canceled plans, missed milestones, and feeling left out can all become different versions of the same feelingWhy I encourage my friends to hang out without me, and still sometimes feel sad when they doWhat slow-burn disappointments can do to a friendshipHow to tell the difference between a disappointment worth reflecting on and a repeated patternResources & LinksEpisode 146: Moving Past Inconvenience and Into the Joy of HelpingEpisode 191: How To Make Mom Friends When the Village Doesn't Just AppearLike what you hear?

Adult friendship doesn't happen by accident, it happens on purpose. In this conversation with Ashley, co-owner of our counseling practice and my best friend, we talk about why making friends as an adult is genuinely harder, why so many good friendships quietly fade under busyness, and what it actually takes to move a friendship from surface-level to real. We will also discuss concrete takeaways—things you can actually do this week. We will talk about: Why making friends as an adult is harder than it was in school and what actually work? Why friendships fade during busy seasons, and how to keep them alive without grand gestures What keeps friendships stuck at surface level and how to move toward real depth Practical takeaways for building, maintaining, and deepening friendships A real, honest conversation between two friends who run a counseling practice together Five key takeaways: Proximity repeated over time beats instant connection Be the one who initiates, even when it's vulnerable Lower the bar for contact; small deposits count Name the season instead of disappearing Ask one real question instead of five surface ones

He shares his origin story in the audio and media space, what creating art means to him, and the very real struggle of life getting in the way of the things we want to create.

Some endings are hard because the person is still alive, but the relationship you had with them is gone. This week, I answer a Coaching Hotline question from a listener who is grieving a friendship that has faded and struggling to find acceptance. I talk about why grief cannot be bypassed with the “right” thought and how allowing yourself to feel the loss is part of moving through it. You'll hear why the goal is not to eliminate sadness or anger, but to stop fighting the emotions that are keeping you stuck.Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotlineGet full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/521Watch episodes over on YouTube: youtube.com/@karaloewentheilcoachingFollow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:What's really blocking you from speaking up?You already suspect you hold back from asking for what you want or telling the truth about how you feel.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I miss me”? Somewhere between taking care of everyone else, keeping life moving, and getting everything done, it's easy to lose touch with the parts of yourself that make you feel creative, connected, joyful, and fully alive. In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with one of her best friends, artist, jewelry designer, and Fully Expressed co-host Samantha Hollingsworth, to explore female friendship, creativity, and what it means to become fully expressed. They talk about why women need friendships where they can stop performing and feel completely seen, what makes a relationship feel safe and reciprocal, and why deeper connections become especially meaningful in midlife. Samantha also shares her unconventional journey through multiple careers and creative pursuits, and why women don't have to choose one passion or stay on one path forever. Plus, she and Dr. Mariza dive into their shared love of fiction and how books can reconnect us with imagination, possibility, and joy. If you're craving deeper friendships, more creativity, or simply want to feel more like you again, this episode is for you.

Karo and Matt have both recently returned from trips to London, which got them thinking about how friendship differs across the pond.

Dating after 50 comes with a whole new set of questions and sometimes it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between trusting your gut and letting your anxiety take over.This week, I'm joined by relationship coach and Love at Any Age host (plus Menopause Love Lounge Host) Laurie Gerber to tackle three VERY real midlife dating dilemmas.What happens when the good morning texts suddenly stop and he says he's just “busy”? What if his ex-wife is still calling and texting him years after their divorce? And what do you do when you've been exclusive for months, act like a couple, but he still refuses to put a label on the relationship?Laurie brings the 30 years married and relationship-coach perspective. I bring the perspective of someone who has actually been out here dating after divorce. And while we definitely agree on some things, we don't see everything the same way.We're talking breadcrumbing, communication, sex and attachment, staying friends with an ex, relationship labels, commitment after divorce, and one of the hardest questions of all: When are you being patient… and when are you settling? If you've ever stared at your phone wondering what the hell his behavior actually means, this episode is for you.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Is he busy… or is he pulling away? 02:43 Dilemma #1: He's still texting, but something feels off 04:40 Did intimacy change the relationship? 06:30 When does “busy” become an excuse? 08:54 Are you giving him space or playing games? 09:54 The conversations you should have by date three 11:10 The problem with good morning texts 13:18 Andrea's controversial take: Are good morning texts breadcrumbing? 14:52 Stop guessing and start asking what he wants 16:39 Dilemma #2: His ex-wife is ALWAYS around 18:54 When being friends with an ex is actually okay 20:18 Should you meet his ex? 20:33 Andrea's relationship with her ex-husband 22:18 When an ex starts marking her territory 23:15 Friendship or emotional dependency? 23:42 How to talk about jealousy without sounding controlling 25:47 Dilemma #3: He wants forever… but not the label 27:44 Why relationship labels actually matter 28:31 When one person wants commitment and the other feels pressured 29:12 When it may be time to step away 29:58 “Consequences are very clarifying” 31:43 Why months 7–8 can reveal real compatibility 32:16 “I need time” vs. being strung along 34:05 Does marriage still matter after 50? 35:19 Patience vs. settling: How do you know the difference? 36:14 Final takeaways 37:17 Send us your dating dilemma

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text!Why did making friends feel so much easier when we were kids—and why can it feel so complicated as adults? In this episode, Elizabeth gets REAL about adult friendship: how we define a friend matters, why our relationships change, the expectations we bring into them, and the ways we may unknowingly make connection harder than it needs to be. We'll talk about letting go of the idea of the “perfect” friend, understanding that friendships have seasons, and recognizing the part we play in building the community we long for. Because maybe the answer isn't just finding better friends—it's learning how to be one.Elizabeth Pehrson created The Exchange in 2015. The Exchange is a monthly event     for ALL adult women. Women who work outside the home. And women who work in the home. Women who are single. And women who are married. Women who are moms. Women who are grand-moms. No matter what season of life you are in, The Exchange is here to inspire you to live life ON PURPOSE and WITH INTENTION.The Exchange is a non-profit that provides an environment for women to hear practical advice from topics Elizabeth has read and life lessons she has learned, and is currently learning. Equipping us to become better women tomorrow than we are today. And to ultimately use that to pour back into those around us.

A week can disappear when your to-do list is longer than your daylight, and we're feeling all of it: shop chaos, school nights creeping back in, and that familiar mix of “I ran all day” versus “I slept all day.” We talk through real garage-life problems, from a Scout that suddenly won't prime the fuel pump after a power wash to the kind of low-voltage, no-RPM-signal troubleshooting that makes you question every connector under the dash. Then we get into towing safety and the expensive reality of electric over hydraulic trailer brakes, where a sketchy wiring setup and a poorly mounted pump can turn into a thousand-dollar fix fast.We also share updates from our off-road world, including the latest on Core rig voting and a new twist that rewards the people who actually support the event: a sponsor pick plus a separate “crony pick” for rigs that don't win the public vote. We dig into what makes a rig application work, why clear photos matter more than they should, and how tire size and recovery gear requirements keep things fun and safe.Then Guyer takes us way outside the shop with an eye-opening Costa Rica mission trip recap. We talk volunteer construction at a missionary language school, battling termite damage with steel framing and repairs, visiting churches that look nothing like home, and meeting kids living with no running water, no electricity, and dirt floors, yet somehow showing up with the biggest joy. It all builds to a powerful moment in the Pacific Ocean and a closing reminder we all needed: make time for your friends before “later” turns into years.If this one hits you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a perspective reset, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show#heattreatedgarage #fellas #myfriendsarebetterthanyourfriends #abethe50chevy #ickyvicky #tetanus #scout #htgadventures #socialbutterflymedia #crawleroffroad #podcast #nailedit #trailhated #seasontwo #dontfollowcal #meetnewpeople #ontherocksoffroad #988 #suicideawareness #wyattwarriorshttps://youtube.com/@heattreatedgarage?si=zKZLGcioixSqLbg8, https://youtube.com/@ricosgarage?si=eP4tMxqAGJozvHdq, Check out our Brothers over at On the Rocks Offroad Podcast https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2317265.rss

One of the biggest worries that newly sober women have is how it will affect their friendships. We're often told that the friendships that ‘matter' will withstand our shift to an alcohol-free lifestyle. And the drinking buddies? Yes, they might fade away. But honestly? It's not that simple. Friendships are tricky, and sobriety can bring a lot of friendship challenges to the surface. Today my therapist mom joins me to share her own story of a deep friendship that did not survive her choice to be sober. We'll talk about what's really needed from both friends in order to make the shift when sobriety becomes a part of your life, and we'll lay out what to expect as you navigate this life change within friendships so that you feel as prepared as you can be. Are you ready to make amazing new sober friends? Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 6+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women.

Side pressure puts real leverage on a fish. It's where control begins and power originates. All the other skills before this one set us up to maximize side pressure, with the right angles and a great plan for landing the trout of a lifetime.I think the opposite of side pressure is upward pressure, or pulling up with the rod tip, and we don't want to fight the fish at the surface. So while side pressure can keep the fish lower in the water column, upward pressure brings a trout to the top, often way too soon.So with a low rod angle, pulling to the side as much as possible, we force the trout to fight not just the current pushing downstream in its face, but also our constant pressure to the side. A trout wants to hold the current that it's in, and by pulling sideways, the trout has to work against that pressure to stay in its current. And nothing wears a trout down quicker.My friends Matt Grobe and Bill Dell join me for a deep dive into real side pressure.Here's the Episode List for Season 201. The Hook Set and What Comes First2.

This week we are throwing it back with a re-release of one of IMO's very first episodes! Issa Rae is an acclaimed actor, producer, writer, and restaurateur—but she's also a student of modern adult friendships. She joins Michelle and Craig to answer a question from a listener who is struggling with the unexpected end of a long-term friendship. Issa asks why male friendships are so weird and shares lessons from a friendship falling out. Michelle offers lessons on how to maintain connections throughout life, and Craig takes a stand for the fellas – who, Issa and Michelle claim, have no idea how to use emojis to express actual emotion.Have a question you want answered?
