We explore friendship and emotional well-being through conversations with two sets of special guests who share powerful insights on maintaining happiness even when others aren't kind.

• Emma and Ada demonstrate how friendship can thrive despite attending different schools by making intentional time for each other
• Best friends don't need to be exclusive – having other friendships is healthy and necessary
• The Fishmans share how their popular "Bucket Filler" books originated from Nechama's kindergarten bullying experience
• Everyone has an invisible emotional bucket that fills with good feelings when full and empties when sad
• When someone is mean, it's because their bucket is empty – understanding this helps you not take it personally
• Filling others' buckets through kindness automatically fills your own bucket too
• Being "bully-proof" means staying happy despite others' unkindness
• Finding people who make you feel good is more important than forcing yourself into unfriendly groups
• Simple acts like smiles and compliments can significantly impact someone's day
• Parents should work through schools rather than directly contacting bullies' parents
