135: Friendship is the new marriage, with Rachel Steinman and Rachel Winter

August 09, 2024 • Terri + Manya • Season 4 • Episode 26

Making friends in the era of platonic romance. The fact is that friendship is the new marriage. We can find intimacy without sex, be invested in each others lives, and grow in friendship together.

Just us as we talk with Rachel Steinman and Rachel Winter, authors of the book Stay Golden, Girls as we chat about the importance of women’s friendships and their lifelong bonds that contribute to the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life.

Rachel Steinman is a writer, teacher, and mental health advocate. She hosts the Dear Family, Podcast with inspirational guests who have overcome mental health obstacles to thrive.

Rachel Winter is a writer, director, and an Academy Award®-nominated producer for Dallas Buyers Club. Along with LeBron James, Winter produced James’ biopic Shooting Stars. She also produced and directed the audio drama Supreme: The Battle for Roe, a nine-part series that weaves together the incredible story of the young female lawyer who argued Roe v. Wade in front of the Supreme Court and the Justice who wrote the opinion.

You can learn more about the book on the website or on Instagram or Etsy.

*****
Thank you for listening.

After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Project BFF and the podcast. Our last podcast episode aired on August 23, 2024. We are leaving the podcast live on Buzzsprout through the end of 2024.

We are proud of this podcast and honored to have hosted such amazing and engaging guests.

Our hope is that Project BFF and Friendshipable have inspired you to form new friendships, strengthen existing ones, and encourage others to do the same

Thank you for being a part of our story. The two of us have truly deepened our friendship during this time, and we look forward to new and memorable adventures together in and around New England, which serves as the adopted home for both of us.

With gratitude and friendship,
Manya and Terri
