Monday Mini: The Power of Friendship · Stuff Mom Never Told You

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm welcome to stuff I never told your production.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: iHeartRadio, and welcome to another edition of Monday Mini where
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: we talk about random things and put a little bit
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: of statistics in there or facts or news. We try
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: to make it a little different from our happy hour
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: because it is a personal take or something that we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: thinking on, and then we do pseudo research, meaning like
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: we don't do a lot of in depth research and
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: or maybe come from an article that got us interested
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: in it, however, whatever. So just to explain what the
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Monday Mini is again, because I think everybody's like, what.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Is this just a small episode?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, But today I thought I would make a switch
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: because my last happy hour was really sad, and unfortunately,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: right now with the seasons and the holidays, I am
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: not the happiest person, most joyous person in the world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: But I thought I'd take a minute to actually reflect
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: on things that do make me happy and as a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: reminder of things that can give you good support and happiness,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and that's friendships, specifically female friendships or friendships with other women.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm not excluding anybody of the non gender binary
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: any of that. We're including trans women. In this we're
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: talking about the people who are would see themselves as
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: them because I think there's a specific energy vibe in that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So when I say that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm meaning all this is including all So go ahead
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and put that at that very beginning. Of course, we
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: know there's a lot of TERFs out there. There's a
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: lot of people who have a lot of prejudices, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: they have nice messaging with sometimes really awful hearts.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So I say this.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of these things that we talk about
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: when it comes to friendships and keeping friendships comes from blogs,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: and you never know what these people, these that wrote
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: these blogs their real personality is. I think about that
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: often when I'm thinking about like feminists first as well,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: or feminists around the world that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We don't know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: They may have good intentions in one of these things,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: but some of these things are not pretty right. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: just as kind of a caveat to all of this.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But straight away from that to the good part, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: think it's really important that we talk about the friendships
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that happen and how important it is to have friendships
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and holidays. Of course, I think we can look at
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: things like friendsgiving. We have a good thing called friends
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: give mus in our group because we could blend in
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: both Christmas and Thanksgiving. Yeah, because it it's a little
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: difficult trying to get together sometimes and so blending that in,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: but having opportunities to celebrate the seasons together with just
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: friends or found families as we like to talk about.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: And if you just listen to A couple of weeks
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: ago as this comes out, we had the amazing Raquel
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Willis on the show and something she talked about when
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I had asked her specifically about finding the balance between
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: transparency versus activism, and then also self preservation and knowing
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that you don't owe people your stories, but like how
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: do you, you know, keep the balance And she talked
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: about friendship and I really really loved that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Point and it didn't remind me.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, like keeping people like you
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: ay in my life.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Like you just talked about the joy of wearing your life.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Day's letter and I love that, and I'm like, man,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I need to use that as an example and find
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: something like that for myself, where I just find some
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: of the like something that's personal to me that I
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: can put on physically and be like, ah, this makes me.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I will say cardigans do sometimes, especially at the beginning
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: of fall, when I get to actually wear it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I did do a dance.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: My partner was like, Okay, you're you're ridiculously happy and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: he understands, Like why for me?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That makes me a little bit joy But you know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, it's like.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, things like that are nice. So I had
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: good moment. Thank you forgiving me that. But just as
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the friends of this time of year is really really
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: important in general. I went through articles about film friendships
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and why they're important, and here's some of the things
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: research y'all, because it's like years and years and years
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: of research, and I think the last fifteen years has
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: been beautiful where the ties are turned from don't be
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: that I'm not that type of girl and be a
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: girls girl and know what that means and I love them.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So one of the things they talked about is emotional support.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: The benefit of having support from friends when things are down,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: whether it's like lifting you up because you're sad about
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: something and so they try to help you understand why
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: you're said or distract you, which both of those things
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: are beautiful. Validation. Having friends who understand and appreciate you
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: just for you and giving you that confidence. Oh and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: by the way, this was from a blog.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: That was researched.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: They also found research for it called the Power Female
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: for Ship and it's from Grace dot Health. So I
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: don't know much about Grace dot Health, so don't take
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that as a right like I'm advocating for it. It's
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: just they had good research. So once again, that's about
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: shared experiences. Yeah, I think, especially when you have old,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: old friendships that you've had for years and you can
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: look back on things and laugh to you cry type
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: of situations. Knowing some situation, like I explained something to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: my partner, I ran into a friend that I haven't
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: seen in like five years, literally out of nowhere, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: it was really lovely.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: To see her.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And I say this with all like so excitement, and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it literally shocked me to the point I'm like, you
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: don't live here, Like it sounded like an accusation, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: it was more of shock. And that's all I could
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: say because I was so like confused to see her.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: But I just brought back some of the memories I
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: had of her and who she was and how joyful
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: it was. And I was explaining to my partner about her,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and it was just like, you know, that smile of
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: moments of like, oh, that's shared experience because I lived
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: with her as well for a year, so it was
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: lovely to see her and not thought about that. And
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: then of course the accountability. I will tell you people
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: who keep me accountable are some of the best. Caroline
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: from the previous host is one of the best ones
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to keep me accountable. But she does it in such
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: a way that it's so good and I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you're right, I did that in my bad you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: like stuff like that. But it keeps you as a
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: better person, as a better friend, which I want to be,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and I love everything about that. Of Course, the laughter
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: enjoy we all know that that's a great benefit. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: love listening to Annie talk about her stuff and then
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: just watching her laugh at herself, and then I'll make
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: a joke and she'll laugh at it too. It is
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: a delightful moment, and then me laughing watching her laugh.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Or I will say I do laugh when she cries.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: That shows like last of us, and I enjoy every
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: bit of her love for it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I enjoy that you enjoy it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I literally pulled up the video of you saying this
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: is me before the episode of this, the Bill at
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Frank episode, and this is a year after, and me
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: laughing in the background, like it's just.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The love you have for that show is amazing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And it talks about improving your immune function. And I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: have a couple of articles I talk about that that
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: it actually has higher levels of a particular antibody that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: helps to fight off infection. And this one is from
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: a flashback dot com article. I really don't know who
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: they are either, but it is written by Kate Lee
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: hay l Ehy. Again, not necessarily advocating for them or anything,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: but I think she did an amazing job with this article.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But she actually wrote most surprisingly of all, female friendships
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: are actually good for your physical and mental health. Researchers
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: at UCLA found that female response to stress can be
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: reduced after a release of oxytocin, which came when surrounded
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: by their female friends. In another study, it was found
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: that valuing for ships influence better health among adults, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: the head of psychiatry at Stanford University in the US
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: said one of the best things a woman can do
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: for her health was to quote nurture her relationships with
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: her friends, and then goes on to say, it's noted
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: that women who are around their female friends see an
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: increase in release of chemical serotonin, which controls your mood
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and it's responsible for happiness. And studies have also shown
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a strong link between human attachment and good mental health.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And I feel like these are all obvious, but it's
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: also exciting that they did the research for it specifically
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: among women in that level.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I will say yesterday it was really sad.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: If you heard my happy hour a week ago, it
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: wasn't cute, but it was a lot of things that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: was going through my head and I was kind of spiraling.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: And then last night I decided to go to work out,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and I have made really good friends. When I go
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: work out to these places, we just connect on a
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: very superficial level, but it's joyous. It helped my mood
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: so much to be around them, to do something together,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to enjoy the music. The teacher there, DeMarco, He's an
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: amazing guy. But I like just connecting with friends again
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and the women that we get to hype each other.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: It's one of the best things. Hyping one another up,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I think is a whole different level, especially being on
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: a superficial level, just enjoying their personality is nice. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I definitely see that kind of level of like serotonin
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: rising and feeling being able to like calmly sit instead
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: of watching the world burn. And then I was thinking
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: about this again, specifically with the holidays, and we were
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: very stressed. I am very stressed with this, and I
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: was thinking about the people who have lost families. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: talk about not having a connection and that does feel
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: like a loss to me, but truly losing grieving over
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: families who have died passed on to you have cut
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: off all connect with and how that really is a painful.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: These holidays are a painful, painfull time, especially if you
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: feel alone. And there is an article written by Rebecca
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Brenner for The Times and is titled the Revolutionary Power
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: of Female Friendships during the Holidays, and she specifically talks
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: about the loss of her mother, and she also talks
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: about the fact that she doesn't do the depth of
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: what her mother did and she never will and I
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: appreciated that because, yeah, no way in hell I would
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: do what my mother loves to do and also stresses
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: out about which ends up with her calling my father
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a also part of our family tradition, one of my
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: favorite moments. But she genuinely is mad at my father
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: for being neglectful and not helping out as much as
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: he should. But I think it's interesting she talks about it,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: and she says, this holiday season, I won't cook her
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: a lot holiday dinners, I won't go to midnight mass
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: or check my two young kids across the country for
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: large extended family gatherings, but I will step closer to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the memory of her because of the love and the
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: support of the women in my life. And I really
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: thought that was a beautiful story, like, yes, she lost
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: a mother, but she and she might not do exactly
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: what she did, and there feels like a little lost
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: in that, but she knows where she can find that
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: same love and level of love and care and support
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: through the women in her life. She also talked about
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the twenty ten study which was written by Anna M.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Martinez Alman entitled college Women's female Friendships a Longitudinal View,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and she was found that female friendships are quote a
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: site for assessing meaning of self and of reality, a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: site for the experience of different perspective and viewpoints, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: an opportunity for growth through interdependency, and in a more
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: recent twenty twenty study in feminism and psychology found that
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: female friendships are quote site of ease, escape and refuge.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And I think it's so perfect, especially as we talk
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: during the holidays as a stress feeling a little bit
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: of loss, feeling a little bit of non direction, I guess,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: not not sure what to do half the time, there's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: a lot going on, and seeing all our articles like
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: this and reminding yourself, yeah, yeah, friendships are important and
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: it can be hard to maintain as adults with different
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: stretches of life, but it is important to try to
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: try to maintain them. And she goes on, Brennan goes
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: on rights, and perhaps this is the best gift we
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: can offer one another, our presence and kind words in
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: a culture and season that can feel so transactional. Being
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: shaped and nurtured by your people's compassionate attention feels revolutionary,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: and it does, and it does in any I want
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to thank you because you're one of those revolutionary people.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I love you, and you are for me.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I love you too.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: The other day I was.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Like smiling to myself, remembering because I told the story
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: recently of our disastrous lazy river.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It's just like having those.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Memories where we were literally being laughed at by the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: hotel save an old man in a tube and a
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: young kid in a tube. Yeah, but we shared it together.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: It was so funny. It was so funny.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: It was because both of us were in the same boat,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: realizing both of us were bad at this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: We're bad and relaxing, which is perhaps clear.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That everybody else was confused, and they're like, well, we
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm glad you were a part of this
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: because that would assessed me out more.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And then we did it twice because we got stuck
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: in the loop.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: We couldn't get help, but we couldn't get out, so
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: we just sacrificed it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: We did. Oh man. It was funny though. But it's
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: things like that, having those those memories, sharing those times,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: like even if it's maybe you know, like not necessarily
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: your thing, like with life, there's my friend, but like
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: having that and like having those stories, it does feel
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: like such a boost and such a light and so precious,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: like so important, and yeah, I can totally see the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: kind of healing nature of it. We've talked about it
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: before in other episodes too. So yeah, I am so
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: lucky have the friends I have that they're willing to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: be goofy with me, and I can be goofy with them.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And just to this menty fam, if you do feel alone,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I hope you hear this episode and know that we.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Do hear you when you.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Write to us, when you let us know what's going on.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I know we got a lot of messages on Instagram
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: specific to a lot of Anie's loves. I didn't respond
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: to those. I'm sorry I showed it to her, though
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I love y'all.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I will respond. But yes, we.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Do see them, we do hear them. Those who send
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: out support to us. That's the same thing. There's a
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: healing to that as well. When you hear our own
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: struggles or vulnerability and then you come in and just
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: talk about your own and and like validate what we're saying.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It's lovely. So we thank you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: We do thank you. It really means so much so
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and I hope sometimes I worry that it sounds like
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: because when you get like one bad message, and I
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: feel like I worry that we make it sound like
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: we're not talking to the people who are listening. I'm
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: pretty sure. The people who send those like saw a
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: title will send you are all lovely, is what I'm saying.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Now we get like one and I'm like, no, I know.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: A lot of reviews same way for me. I'm like, good,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I all hate me.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: No, everyone is so kind, and I do love another thing.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I love about things like like what you were talking
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: about friends, Gibsons. I love like the traditions people make
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: because I have the cheese giving my friends and I
