Thank You for Being a Friend: A Celebration of Female Friendship, How Good Friends Are Literally Good for our Health; Celebrating 40 Years of The Golden Girls
The mums are back and are celebrating friendship on the 40th Anniversary of the Golden Girls! The Golden Girls premiered on September 14, 198 - a monumental 40 years ago - and we still love it! It was groundbreaking because it centered on four women over 50 at a time when Hollywood heavily favored youth. It proved that stories about aging women were hilarious, relevant, and wildly successful (winning 11 Emmy Awards). Join Lissy, Anke, Rebecca, Tammy and Heather as they chat about how friends make our lives better - even allowing us to live longer!
Strong female friendships are a powerful protective factor against anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. Did you know that research shows social engagement in midlife significantly reduces the risk of dementia by 38%? Also, there are longevity studies that show that having a strong social network reduces the risk of death by 60% over nine years! Frequent visits with friends are related to a lower subjective age (feeling younger than you are) which contributes to greater life satisfaction... cheers to that!
Back to the Golden Girls... why do the mums love it? 1. Because of the timeless themes: economic instability, family drama, the search for identity, and the power of love. 2. Because of the comfort factors: moments such as gathering around the kitchen table for cheesecake is a cozy wee symbol of safety and unconditional support. 3. Because of the excellent characters and writing: the sharp writing, comedic timing, and iconic personalities make it endlessly quotable and relevant in modern meme culture.
Ending this friendship/Golden Girls podcast is a wee Golden Girls Trivia session you won't want to miss!
Join the mums for a bit of female friendship time which feels like a warm hug or your own slice of cheesecake at the kitchen table.
