That’s What Friends Are For with Giuli Bernini

Episode 182: Natalie is shaking things up with a fresh new series! Once a month, Nat will be sitting down with one of her best friends for a catch-up because, well, sometimes two really is better than one. DM @nataliebarbu your favorite title of the following options: Reel Talk, Reel Hangs, Reel Friends, or Nat & Co.- Excited to hear your thoughts!    

For the inaugural episode, Natalie’s kicking things off with her long-time friend since college, Giuli, for some quintessential girl talk. The dynamic duo leave no stone unturned as they dive headfirst into the constant evolution of friendships and the fruitful history of their own. Giuli preps Nat for her first date back on the scene (when the time comes), plus the two get into all the dating advice you never knew you needed, like the politics of a bad hug and the biggest turn-offs. So tune in, grab your coffee, and get ready to hang with your new besties.  

Today’s episode dives into:    

Accepting that some friendships aren’t meant to last forever   

Their expectations of living in NYC vs. the reality  

Why friendship doesn’t have to be linear   

First date dealbreakers, what’s considered ick- worthy and green flags  

The importance of confidence and ambition in both life and dating
