The Inconvenient Truth About Friendship, the 90-Second Emotion Rule & More
About this episode
Amy and Kat kick off the episode with a feeling that might hit way too close to home: “I think I might need to cry.” Speaking of crying, science says that if you cry easily it might mean your brain is working better than you think. They break down findings on why people who tear up easily have faster processing, and how “emotion labeling” can calm your brain in just 90 seconds.
They also talk about the inconvenient nature of friendships and relationships (including an airport pickup that went sideways with Amy’s boyfriend), what truly makes a bond healthy, and why mutual investment matters more than proximity or shared experiences.
And with Christmas coming up, they close out with a reminder: there are things you absolutely don’t owe your family during the holidays.
