Friendship and vulnerability with Deb Penner
From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya talk with Deb Penner about change, friendship, how we are so much more similar than we are different, and what we make things mean.
We discuss how women are permitted to be vulnerable and seek help, which is a way to build connection and friendship, and how that is an advantage over the way that men are expected to relate to each other. And men may have the advantage of spending time to make themselves happy, including friendship. Whereas women are often expected to put other people's needs first and may not take time to have friends.
Deb is an excuse-busting, dream-building, inspiration-generating, unfailingly passionate guide for women. You can learn more about her on her website: Drops In the Bucket, Instagram, LinkedIn, or TikTok.

73: How to contact a friend you haven't talked to in a while
From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff on the topic of contacting a friend you haven't been in touch with in a while.
There can be fear about reaching out if you've fallen out of touch with a friend. How you contact them, in what format (text, phone, etc.), and what you say might depend on how close a friend you have been in the past, and how you left things that last time you were in touch.

Customer Reviews
Relatable and Insightful
I love how relatable this podcast is. When it comes to friendships especially as adults there are so many nuances to it. I love that this podcast talks about the growth, the separation, and everything in between. You can tell that Manya & Terri are best friends, when I listen to the episodes I feel like I am right there with them at a table having a cup of coffee chatting!
Love the Heart!
Terri and Manya are very clearly bff’s and are leading by example, in their authentic conversations. I’m shocked there is so much research on friendship and they always seem to be talking right to me!
