<p>We’ve never analysed our friendships more – doorbell friends, friendship audits, rankings, and the architecture of “meaningful connections”. But in a world defined by overwork, isolation, and convenience culture, is all this discourse actually bringing us closer… or just giving us new ways to spiral?</p><p><br></p><p>This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are unpacking the rise of friendship anxiety and the limits of the tools meant to soothe it, ultimately discovering that the real issue is structural: a world that engineered community out, then sold it back to us as a subscription.</p><p><br></p><p>And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the DIY labs closing the loop on longevity testing, and Kylie Jenner’s new hydration drink that makes you “glow from within” (sigh).

<p>What does it actually mean to “live longer” in a culture that can’t tolerate aging?</p><p><br></p><p>This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dive into the strange and seductive world of longevity culture, breaking down how a once‑niche scientific field has transformed into a billion‑dollar industry. We’re chatting about it all, from pilgrimages to Blue Zones, biological age testing, and cryonic chambers, and the $65 USD olive oils promising to rewind the effects of aging at a cellular level. The industry promises more years, but often at the cost of the humanity it claims to preserve.</p><p><br></p><p>And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: pimple patches (where have they been all my life etc.) and wearable tracking devices (stay tuned for a future debate on this).</p><p><br>Shout out to Laher for supporting this episode of Coping !

<p>Ambition used to mean climbing that corporate ladder. Then it meant girlbossing. Then it meant quitting your job to find yourself. Now? It’s… complicated.</p><p><br></p><p>This week, we’re tracing the messy, contradictory legacy of female ambition. And with ambition discourse everywhere – Emma Grede interviews, Diary of a CEO soundbites, cinematic Vogue rebrands – we’re asking what "success" looks like if you’re no longer willing to sacrifice your entire life for it.</p><p><br></p><p>Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson share their own shifting ambitions within this context: the craving for purpose, the fear of being consumed by work, and the cultural noise that tells us to both lean in and log off forever. </p><p><br></p><p>And because the wellness zeitgeist never sleeps, we’re also talking: the Japanese headspa experience that (unfortunately) will change your life, and the journal worth flying to Paris for (disclaimer: cost of flights not included in purchase). </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://fortune.com/2025/08/27/female-founder-comebacks-girlboss-labels-startup/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">I'm Rooting for Female Founders' Comebacks - And The End of Branding Women</a>, by Leslie Feinzaig<strong>, </strong>Fortune</p><p><a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/fired-from-my-job.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">My Job Was My Life.
