In a world where the news cycle is filled with grief, war, and injustice, friendship becomes sacred. It may be the only place we feel safe.
In this episode, we explore how community & friendship protect our mental health, help us co-regulate during times of collective trauma, and provide a lifeline when the world feels unbearable.
If you’ve ever felt let down by silence – or held by friendship when you needed it most – this conversation is for you.
We sing SO MUCH in this episode. Oh, we also breakdown why Spongebob & Patrick are the ideal model for friendship, and why Squidward is a hater. Because you can always count on us to bring you all the saucey goss from Bikini Bottom.
