My Friend's Friends

Simone + Paris are wrapping up Season Two with a little bit of reflection on the past three months, talking about friendships of all ages, and looking ahead to Season Three!

In this episode, we’re talking about the moments that our dads realized that we were friends, as well as daughters, space memories, and using our imaginations. We are getting deeper into Dr. Arthur Aron’s list of 36 questions and answer the question, “What is your most treasured memory?”, and recall that Paris is still scarred from the time she brought up “pants” at work — in England.

In this mini-episode we explore fictional friendships with Reed + Kurt from Episode 17. One thing is for sure....we are definitely all nerds!

How do you feel about the success of your friends? Is there that little envious demon inside of you? Or do you celebrate their wins as if they were your own?

The author’s of “Big Friendship” introduce their take on what it really means to support one another with the introduction of Shine Theory (TM) — and Simone opens this episode up with one of the biggest compliments Paris has ever received: that this chapter remined Simone extensively of Paris.

Supporting one another through the gaggle of life, encouraging your friends to demand more for themselves (often even at a minimum what they deserve!), and channeling some of the envy of your friend’s abilities into something positive and motivating for yourself, is just the tip of the iceberg in this episode!

In this episode, we’re talking about friendship anthems, friendship “sparks”, and The Dead Moms Club. We are getting deeper into Dr. Arthur Aron’s list of 36 questions and answer the question, “What do you value most in a friendship?” And discuss how friendship with others who have lost a parent is profound, healing, and truly beautiful.

In this mini-episode we explore the meaning behind the tattoos we have and get some fabulous feedback from Julia in the form of Julia's Question Corner!

In this episode, we’re talking about picking hobbies up after a break, dealing with anxiety and mental health while still moving forward in our professional lives, and living alone through the pandemic. We are getting deeper into Dr. Arthur Aron’s list of 36 questions and answer the question, “What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?” Also, we get a full-confessional about the time Simone internet-stalked Brittany, and Jamie brings some intense wisdom with musings like, “self-evaluation is not necessarily self-centeredness.”

In the second iteration of a Simone + Paris episode in Season Two, we return to the book we starting reading together, “Big Friendship”. We’re excited to jump back in with Chapter 3: Chosen Family, which is a chapter we both totally relate to!

In this episode, we talk life in England AND Australia, Blue Bell Ice Cream, the career path to being an astronaut, and Pari’s reputation as someone who does NOT love children is threatened. We are getting deeper into Dr. Arthur Aron’s list of 36 questions and answer the question, “Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?” Plus, we’re putting out a call for your favorite places to buy PANTS — quarantine life has deemed it necessary to do a little shopping!

We’re each answering the question, “what is one thing a friend has done lately that has pleasantly surprised you?” Gina’s talking heartworm meds, Sandra’s talking BLM, and Simone and Paris talk ex-pat experiences.
