• Chapter 19: Arguments & disagreements - with love?

  Whether you want to call them arguments, fights, disagreements, conflict, or vulnerable conversations (and we do talk about our preference on this!)... the reality is you cannot, and should not, avoid them. In this episode Jessica & Juliette talk about disagreements and how they can either strengthen your relationships if done correctly or cause a world of damage. We share the lessons we have learned along the way and the rules which we follow to allow a difficult conversation to stay an open and safe exchange of feelings with love and trust instead of escalating into something big and scary.

• Chapter 18: We're not really strangers

  The "we're not really strangers" movement created a card game and social media platform designed to bring people closer together by asking them the most thoughtful, deep, and sometimes difficult questions. Turn strangers into friends or lovers, bring a relationship even closer, or at the very least allow people to understand each other and their perspectives better. In this episode, we are playing this exact card game. Tune in to hear us answer questions such as "what have you envied in the past that you can laugh at now?" and "are you healed or just distracted?", and join us in the conversation where we end up swapping ghost stories and childhood memories. Check out our Instagram & TikTok @sidenotestories to see more content on lifestyle, self-care, and personal development in your journey through your 20s and adulthood. You can also send us a message there to chat, we love hearing from you and getting to know your Sidenote Stories!

In this episode we give you some juicy life updates from our birthday weekends in each other's cities and then go on to discuss the topic at hand. We talk through a different examples we've faced when it comes to choosing between responsibility and fun: When should you burn that candle you've been saving? Should you stay out for an extra dessert? Is a spontaneous evening always better than a planned one?

• Chapter 16: Is the term "best friend" toxic?

  In this episode Jessica and Juliette discuss the values and detriments of using labels in friendship, especially the ever famous BFF. This may initially seem like surprising a topic for two self-proclaimed best friends to tackle, but when you listen you will get to hear a lot of different insights on "best friendship". We talk about how important it is (and sometimes seems to be) to have a best friend, whether it can be toxic to focus on just one person, and what it means for your other friendships to put one friend on a special pedestal - is it maybe possible to have multiple besties? We share our opinions and propose some solutions how to navigate these dilemmas. Let us know what you agree with and found useful, or if you have a completely different opinion. We really love hearing from you and getting to know your own Sidenote Stories!
