Friendship Throwbacks

This week on Being Social, we’re diving into childhood friendships — the first friends we remember, growing up shy, middle school memories, and the friendships that shaped (or broke) us. We talk built-in best friends, friendship breakups, drifting apart, sleepovers, yearbook nostalgia, and what media taught us about friendship growing up. Plus, we review Yesteryear — covering trad wife culture, isolation, motherhood, and why the main character needed friends more than anything. Question of the week: Do you still talk to any childhood friends, and what would you tell your younger self about friendship?

What It’s Really Like Hosting Social Events (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly).

What’s it really like hosting social events? In this episode, we’re sharing the honest side of community building—from the excitement of seeing strangers become friends to low turnout, event stress, and the behind-the-scenes chaos no one talks about. We talk about why we started hosting events, funny moments, lessons we’ve learned, and advice for anyone thinking about creating community of their own. If you’ve ever wanted to host an event, make new friends, or just hear the real side of building community, this episode is for you.
