Shownotes Transcript

In this week’s episode, we chat with Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, the co-hosts of Call Your Girlfriend, about their new book, Big Friendship). The book provides an intimate peek inside their own decade-long friendship and also contains conversations with experts on the topic of friendship and it’s importance to our lives. We discussed their writing process, their thoughts on blending work and friendship, and their evolving thoughts on interracial friendships. We also dive into one of our most requested advice topics: how to make new friends as an adult (it’s so hard!).
