It's Time to Rethink Your Friendships

Episode 1

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 42:56

Here's a secret nobody's talking about: you're probably undervaluing your friendships. And it's not your fault.

Dr. Miriam Kirmayer is a clinical psychologist and one of the world's leading experts on adult friendship. She's spent two decades trying to understand why friendship is our most valuable and most overlooked relationship. In this very first episode, she's making her opening argument.

She calls it the friendship paradox. The reality that friendship shapes your mental health, your physical health, your confidence, your sense of self and yet it's still the first thing we let go when life gets busy. Dr. Miriam gets into what we'd do differently if we truly felt that truth: have the hard conversation we've been avoiding, let go of the friendship we've been ambivalent about for years, or finally admit that what we've been calling "busy" might actually be loneliness. She breaks down the five ways friendship is unlike any other relationship in your life, why friendship therapy is something we need to be talking about, and what we get wrong about loneliness.

She also shares the origin story behind it all: a Spice Girls cover band, a group called Call U L8R, and what it taught her about the moment we go from treating connection like a promise to treating it like a platitude.

So, pull up a chair. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Ashley I. & Naz: An Untold Bachelor in Paradise Soulmate Story

Episode 4

Thursday, May 28, 2026 • Duration 01:00:07

The real love story from Bachelor in Paradise? Ashley I and Naz.

This week on Two Peas on a Pod, Dr. Miriam sits down with longtime best friends Ashley Iaconetti and Naz Perez to unpack the friendship that began behind the scenes of Bachelor in Paradise and lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling.

From bonding over MAC’s Ruby Woo lipstick and navigating heartbreak together, to surviving career pivots, long distance, marriage, motherhood, and life in completely different seasons, Ashley and Naz reflect on the moments that turned a producer/cast relationship into something that feels more like family. They also get into Ashley’s newest chapter joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, what it’s been like stepping into a whole new reality TV world, and why Naz might be the perfect Housewives producer.

The conversation dives into manifestation, emotional safety, radical acceptance, and the kind of friendship that roots for you without jealousy, competition, or keeping score. Naz opens up about the hardest year of her life, Ashley explains why tough love has never worked for her, and together they unpack why the best friendships are the ones where you can fully be yourself. Plus, they expose the one thing that could maybe test their friendship: Joe Jonas.

Pull up a chair and grab your popcorn, this one is entertaining!

Office Ours: Friendship Breakups (Part 1: The Hurt Nobody Talks About)

Episode 9

Thursday, July 2, 2026 • Duration 01:13:18

What if the hardest breakup you ever go through isn't romantic at all? If you've ever felt more heartbroken over losing a friend than a romantic partner, you are not alone, and you're definitely not overreacting. Friendship breakups don't come with a script. No agreed-upon custody battle for mutual friends, no ritual to eat ice cream and listen to a sad playlist. Just silence, and a grief most of us have never been taught to name.

Dr. Miriam opens the first of a two-part Office Ours series on friendship breakups with the question underneath all the others: why does losing a friend hurt so much? She walks through the three types of friendship breakups: a sudden rupture, a slow fade, or a life transition that quietly pulls two people apart, and gets honest about a friendship from her own childhood that she wishes she'd ended sooner. Along the way, she debunks the myths that keep people stuck, and makes the case for why letting go of a friend isn't always the failure it feels like.

This is for the friend you still think about, whether you lost them, left them, or just drifted somewhere in between. Just... hold off on texting it to them until you've heard next week's episode.

Jamison Lange & Alaire Thomas: Creating Content & Fast Friendships

Episode 8

Thursday, June 25, 2026 • Duration 54:57

What makes a friendship feel different from a networking lunch? Jamison Lange and Alaire Thomas know the answer, and it starts with a DM about an uncredited video, a brunch that ran four hours, and a vibe that neither of them could fully explain, but both of them immediately felt.

Meet Today's Peas: Jamison is a content creator known for his viral transition videos and boundary-pushing content that blends humor, vulnerability, and creativity to challenge beauty standards and redefine masculinity. Alaire is a New York-based comedian, content creator, and podcaster whose stand-up tour, Anyway, Thank You, has been bringing her special brand of comedy to audiences nationwide. Together, they're the creative duo behind the beloved series When You're a Masc But Still a Lady, and also proof that some of the best friendships are the ones that sneak up on you.

Dr. Miriam sits down with Jamison and Alaire to talk about fast friendships and what actually makes them stick: the difference between a vibe and an opportunity, the boundaries that keep their creative partnership from crowding out their connection, and what it means to feel genuinely safe with someone.

Pull up a chair. This one's for everyone who's ever met someone and immediately thought, "oh, you're going to matter to me."

Office Ours: Modern Loss (with Rebecca Soffer)

Episode 7

Thursday, June 18, 2026 • Duration 01:18:38

What if grief didn't have to be something you move through alone even when it feels like no one else could possibly understand what you're carrying?

On this episode of Office Ours, Dr. Miriam sits down with Rebecca Soffer to talk about what it really means to show up for someone who's grieving and what it means to let people show up for you. Rebecca is the co-founder of Modern Loss, a Peabody Award-winning former producer for The Colbert Report, and the bestselling author of The Modern Loss Handbook. After losing both of her parents before 33, she stopped waiting for the world to talk about grief differently and built a community to do it herself.

They get into why "let me know if there's anything I can do" almost never lands, the dinner conversation that sparked Modern Loss, and why grief isn’t a straight line, it’s a wave you learn to surf. Rebecca shares why laughing at the bat-sh*t crazy parts of loss could be what gets you through, the difference between giving someone space and creating distance, and why the loneliest experiences in life are often the ones with the most power to bring us together.

This one is for anyone who has loved and lost... Which, eventually, is all of us.

Pauline Chalamet, Lily Sondik & Zoe Mylonas: Across the Globe and Still Inseparable

Episode 6

Thursday, June 11, 2026 • Duration 01:12:02

What does it take to keep a friendship alive across different cities, different countries, and every version of who you're becoming? Pauline Chalamet, Lily Sondik, and Zoe Mylonas have been figuring that out since they were teenagers.

Meet Today’s Peas: Pauline is an American-French actress and writer, best known for her role as Kimberly Finkle on HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls. Lily is a New York-based actor, writer, and producer with credits on The Blacklist and Lioness. And Zoe is a theater actress now living in Athens, Greece, where she co-leads the nonprofit Novus Theatre Ensemble. Together, they're living proof that the right friendships don't fade with distance, they deepen.

Dr. Miriam sits down with all three (joining from New York, Paris, and Athens) for a conversation about what it really means to grow up alongside people who've known you since the beginning. They dig into the beauty and complexity of friendship trios, the creative rituals that keep them close across time zones, how physical distance doesn't have to mean emotional distance, and why presence (not proximity) is the most powerful predictor of closeness.

Pull up a chair. This one will make you want to call your people!

Office Ours: The Unicorn Friend at Work (with Fahd Alhattab)

Episode 5

Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Duration 01:25:12

What if the most underrated career move you could make was... making a friend?

In this Office Ours episode, Dr. Miriam sits down with Fahd Alhattab, startup workplace expert, leadership strategist, and founder of Unicorn Labs, for a conversation about why connection at work isn't a distraction from the job. It is the job. From Halloween culture shock on his first night in Canada to nearly getting impeached as student president, Fahd brings the stories, the science-adjacent takes, and a genuinely infectious enthusiasm for what great team culture can look like. Together, he and Dr. Miriam unpack workplace friendship boundaries, the myth that closeness undermines accountability, and why "hidden toxicity is just artificial harmony." Plus, the rapid-fire questioning trick that might change how you start every Monday morning.

So, pull up a chair. Turns out, friendship is the job.
