How do you learn how to be a friend when the media only shows catty women, who fall apart over silliness? We have to get beyond the poor character development of movies and tv shows like “And Just Like That” if we want to develop actual friendships. 

In this 5th episode, the MC’s go maybe a little too deep, into the sad portrayal of female friendships shown on the Sex and the City reboot and discuss the challenges of overcoming the perceived normal, when it comes to true relationship building. We’re still learning and growing because wisdom really does come with age, so listen in.  

“Things” to Think About From This Episode: 

• For women of a certain age, seeing ourselves represented on screen was a big deal and it shaped how we viewed ourselves in relation to other women, for better or for worse.
• The representation of female friendships is getting better but still pretty lacking, especially when tv characters never seem to grow up.
• Who are these ridiculous women on tv and why can’t they seem to get their sh*t together?
• As we evolve and grow,  our relationships and the way we show with others changes as well, and it’s scary. So how can we learn to be fearless and vulnerable at the same time?
• Friendships play a powerful role in our individual transformations, so how do we know who to keep around and who to let go of?
• When your cups empty, so is your ability to support the friends you need the most. How do we stay mindful of how full our cup is or know when we need help replenishing it?
