The Week’s Worth with Jazzenai

In this episode, Jaz had a delightful conversation with Jocelyn and Shanon from the Real Friend's Pod. The recording occurred in October 2023, when the trio had a lot of fun discussing Shanon and Jocelyn's long-lasting friendship that lasted over twenty years. They shared stories of being there for each other through thick and thin and always being "ride or die" friends. Furthermore, they talked about the secrets to maintaining a healthy friendship. They shared their tips, tricks, and insights on how to keep a friendship strong, supportive, and fun. They discussed the importance of communication, trust, and loyalty in a friendship. The conversation then shifted towards a comparison between platonic and romantic relationships. They discussed the similarities and differences and how media and societal norms impact our perceptions and expectations of these relationships. They also discussed how media can affect our physical, mental, and emotional well-being and how to be mindful of it. Finally, they discussed when it's time to say enough is enough. They shared their thoughts on recognizing when a relationship no longer serves us, setting boundaries, and moving on. The trio laughed and clinked glasses several times, making it a memorable and joyous experience. In this episode, Jaz had a delightful conversation with Jocelyn and Shanon from the Real Friend's Pod.
