Friendships

Join us for the second part of this episode where we explore the topic of women saying no, why it can be difficult and how we can improve in this area.

In this episode we explore why women are generally perceived to be more accommodating and passive. What historical context and societal pressures have led them to have an inability to say no or to be confrontational. We share a few studies on this topic as well as our personal stories.

In this episode we talk about the effects of social media on individuals and as a collective. We discuss the pros and cons of social media within our personal stories, and we also talk about the negative effects that social media can have when trying to build communities. Backing up our ideas with some brilliant research done by Noreena Hertz, we deliberate how we (and you!) can use social media to enhance "in person," meetings and events!

Join us as we discuss the daunting topic of rejection. In this episode we discuss what rejection is, if it's good or bad, how and why we avoid rejection, and how to overcome negative feelings associated with rejection! Also, at the end of the episode we officially invite you to join us on our personal rejection challenge!

In this episode, we dive into what it means to be codependent, hyper-independent and interdependent. 

Why Friendships are important? In this episode we introduce ourselves (Dris and Cass) and we talk about why friendships are important, describe how to be a good friend, talk about long lasting friendships, individual qualities to be a good friend, and overall what our collective societal responsibility is to advance community building and friendships!
