Can friendship outlast romantic love? To answer this BIG Question Jess Rowe is joined by Best Selling Author and Podcaster Holly Wainwright for a joyful deep-dive into the power of platonic love, the heartbreak of friend breakups, and why our soulmates might just be our best friends.

Jess and Holly get real about the ups and downs of long-term friendships and why they need just as much care as romantic relationships. They chat about how these bonds can be fraught, but ultimately shape who we are, get us through the tough stuff, and often turn out to be the greatest loves of our lives. Jess and Holly also unpack the glossy myth of female friendship sold to us by Sex and the City, and reveal the messier truth underneath.
