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.

Limerance - the state of having undeniable feelings for someone who does not feel the same way - feels so much like love but can be so confusing, because deep down we know this person is probably not the one. Despite that we find it impossible to move on, impossible to disconnect or detach despite our best efforts because our affections for this person feel so permanently wired into our brain. Today we talk about why that may be, including: 
The first ever studies into limerance
The 4 stages of limerance 
The addictive explanation for limerance 
Limerance, attachment style, fantasy and ADHD
What the long term emotional impacts of limerance are 
How to recover + 4 tips for moving on

Money is as much psychological and emotional as it is a physical resource. For that reason, sometimes money and our mental health don't always mix. Many people think that we only experience financial anxiety or financial stress when we are struggling with money, but it turns out that it's a lot more complicated than that. In today's episode, we break down the interactions between our psychology and our mental health, including: 
The difference between objective and subjective financial stress
The long term impacts of worrying about money 
Why this generation is more concerned with money than ever before 
Our 9 money languages or archetypes and how to identify yours 
How to manage financial stress in your 20s 
How to override your financial impulses and poor money decisions

All of that and so much more! Listen now.
