no one can do it all
Jen and Hayley are back (like they never left) in the year 2023! And you know what else is back this year? TikTok Talks! Today we learned what stress management is (but not where to sign up for a class, TBD on that one) and how it can relate to your friends. Spoiler alert: it makes friendship less anxiety inducing or aggravating and more fun! Listen now to learn how.

how are your friendships trending?
Welcome back to the beautiful world of NFF, where Jen and Hayley think TOO MUCH about their friendships. Are you also psychotic and a freak in the Excel sheets? You too might want to make a spreadsheet of every friend you have and their trends — are they moving up or down in your tiers? These curious questions are what keep us coming back for more…

agent of chaos
We’re back. We’re singing Taylor Swift. And we’re talking about TikToks. This week, Jen and Hayley give you a TikTok Talk segment featuring our favorite girl, Danielle Bayard Jackson @thefriendshipexpert. Danielle posted a video discussing picking bridesmaids when you’re getting married and we have a lot of thoughts. Since our last wedding ep, both of the friends have some personal anecdotes to share and the tea is piping hot. Just wait until the end when we tie it all back to capitalism. You’ll love it.

rebuilding my existence
Not to make this about us but… this is our podcast. Jen and Hayley have returned (many) days late and several dollars short, but we tried our best. This has been a tumultuous period for Hayley and a frantic one for Jen. They are so sorry it took so long to get back to you, but they’re here, they’re emotionally ready, and they want to fill you in.

fake it till you make it
Jen and Hayley are sending their besties off for a summer hiatus in style. This week, we do some TikTok Talking (shout out to @polkadothead & @savannahamilton11), some Austin Diaries updates, and just a lot of personal catching up. It’s been a wild first half of the year and we couldn’t have done any of this without you guys. We’ll be back soon!

healing from toxic friendships
Jen and Hayley are back with one of their easy breezy bite-sized episodes! This week, the geminis are diving into a Twitter thread (from @brujabitchh) on toxic friendships: both what they look like and the stages of healing after one ends. It’s a heavy topic and one we all are too familiar with, so listen close if this applies to you!

Jen and Hayley are back with an entire episode of Demote or Deletes! And this time… they’re personal. Listen to Hayley share a tale of college friends who deleted her first and Jen’s friend who got her to lower her expectations… more than once. What did we do? How did we handle it? What would YOU do?

where the hell have you been loca?
Take a trip down memory lane with Jen and Hayley this week and relive our high school bestie drama! Or rather, relive what we actually remember, because trauma brain is rough. The friends are taking time to share the ups and downs of their ex-besties who changed their lives (for better or worse…). Enjoy!

some priorities look different
This week, Jen and Hayley are discussing another Reddit & Weep! When a friend is a high achiever and enters a period of their life that is especially challenging, you may inadvertently take a backseat. It doesn't mean they love you less... or does it? Listen to the geminis debate on what is and isn't ok, and how they've managed these ebbs and flows in their own lives.

Jen and Hayley are here and they are… struggling with friends who don’t like each other. You know when two people in a group of four decide they don’t like someone in the group and start ostracizing them but never tell them why? Come on, haven't we all been there? Well then surely you’ve had two friends get in a fight and need to figure out how to spend time in mutual spaces again… we’ve all been there, right? Listen to the friends discuss these various unfortunate friend dilemmas!

a whole ass baby at home
Have you ever wondered what to do for your pregnant friends? What about the new parents who are trying to keep themselves afloat? Are you overwhelmed even thinking about what to ask and what to do? This week, Jen and Hayley wanted to find out. We invited Emma Broadfoot back (previously heard on Murder of Geminis) and Jen’s childhood friend Kathleen Donahue to the studio. Both are new moms and have gone through a very dramatic life change: having their first child. Listen to them discuss how they felt, what they needed/wished for, and where their friendships are now.

There’s so much happening. And it’s happening in Austin, Texas! Hayley and Jen open this episode with a very special Austin Diaries check in, detailing the weekend they spent together. Get the download on Jen’s new friends, new city, and new job. Then, they pivot into a discussion surrounding alcohol and how it affects friendships. Why can’t adults have fun without it? Why is there always pressure to drink? If you relate, listen for more.

that's the thesis
Content warning: this episode includes discussion of abuse. This week, Jen and Hayley read a Reddit & Weep that turns into a Demote or Delete once they realize the writer is in an abusive friendship. So maybe more of a Delete or Delete? Please use caution listening to this one!

do you choose your friends?
Jen and Hayley are back, back again, and this week we're asking ourselves: do we choose our friends? Or do we let friendship just... happen to us? How much of it is subconscious? Any? All of it? There's SO much to unpack, and we do it with the story of a dear listener and friend.

unreliable narrator
Hello, and welcome back to your favorite friendship pod where (spoilers) superheroes Jen and Hayley solve friendship once again! This week, we’re catching up TV like Inventing Anna and Love is Blind (it’s relevant, we swear), and covering a new Reddit and Weep! Do you struggle to find good friends? Are you the problem or are they? And also, why are 19 year olds so bad at understanding the world? Listen to hear about it all.

allergic to fun
Oh boy, what a week. Jen got back from LA, Hayley has a new therapist, and both friends are stumped by this week’s questions. First, Jen poses an interesting scenario: could they have less friends? What would that look like? Why would anyone want that? And then they move into a very real Demote or Delete: having a friend that is miserable to be around, but otherwise has always been a good friend/person. What do you do?

This week, Jen and Hayley are back with their first ever segment of Demote or Delete! This is the game where you guys tell us about your awesome friendship that has one teeny tiny little problem (like they never ask you about your life…) and we tell you to either demote them to a lower level of friendship or delete them from your life! Fun!

tiers of friendship
Happy Season 2, besties!! Jen and Hayley are back and better than ever! In this inaugural episode of the new season, the friends do a deep dive that has been highly anticipated: friendship tiers. What do they look like? How do they function? Do they matter at all? Why are we sweating just thinking about this?
After reviewing an Instagram poll, Jen and Hayley also share their personal experiences moving friends from one level to another and reflect on how their friendships have evolved over the past few years.

good luck to me
Jen and Hayley are back with a classic NFF special. After discussing the intricacies of TikTok, astrology, and supporting friends, the geminis dive into an episode all about making friends in toxic workplaces. If you’ve worked in one, you know the struggle. It is no easy feat finding people who you like and vibe with at work!

am i a trope??
Jen and Hayley both went to birthday parties (#leoseason) and had pre-pandemic feels. Fingers crossed that continues! This week, the geminis have a deep dive into something that is very frustrating to them: friend trios, or friend threesomes, if you will. Why are they so common in film and TV? Especially when they are wildly inaccurate? As Hayley says, when will we get some friend representation?? Listen to the ladies dissect and evaluate different famous friend trios and offer some examples of better friend groups we see in the media. They also go off on some wild tangents about platonic friends when you’re single vs married. Enjoy!

big girl friend
Jen had a bachelorette party, Hayley went to New York, and both friends are thrilled to people-watch again.

Each of them picked an article from a series in The Atlantic called “The Friendship Files” by Julie Beck. Jen discusses the first friend you make after college and Hayley discusses friendship that changes the course of your life.

no more lonely filter friendship (with Marissa Meizz)
On a very special and exciting week of NFF, Jen and Hayley are joined by none other than Marissa Meizz! You might remember when the ladies discussed a viral TikTok about a girl whose friends were talking about her behind her back. That was Marissa and she’s here to tell the whole story. She also fills the geminis in on her astrology sign, meeting new people via Tinder, and passion for helping others find friends (#NoMoreLonelyFriends). Follow Marissa so you don’t miss a No More Lonely Friends meetup near you!

tiny baby adult
Jen gets caught in the middle of a scheduling whirlwind, Hayley is chilling in the mountains, and both of them are ready to reflect. Today’s episode was inspired by a listener message about family friends. This relationship is so unique, and the geminis have a hell of a time picking it apart, defining and re-defining it, until it feels right. After the discussion, they move into another Reddit & Weep where they chat about a roommate feeling left out when a childhood friend comes to town.

socially exhausted
Jen and Hayley are both socially exhausted. Is it because Jen has a calendar bursting at the seams? Or maybe because Hayley had a party (even though it was a total flop)? Or possibly because neither of the geminis have time to even answer a FaceTime call? Time will tell if this is the “new normal” we’ve been talking about.
The ladies are also discussing the Friends reunion this episode. It gave them lots of feels and also had some really interesting dynamics that they weren’t expecting. Send a note with how you felt about it as well!

little universe of love
Jen sounds like she’s been chainsmoking (she hasn’t), Hayley is unemployed (surprise!), and both ladies are tired. This week, the geminis are finishing up their review of the 8 simple friendship habits they talked about last week. The last four cover everything from saying thank you, connecting with your friends’ friends, making the most of life while we can, and story telling. Listen to them share their thoughts and weigh in with your own too!
