And yet, through a lot of conscious effort and communication, they’ve been able to maintain a vibrant friendship for the last 20 years! They chat about getting kicked out of the Vatican on a school trip to Italy, running high school together as Head and Vice Head of School, and what they learned being in an interracial friendship that started in their teens.REFERENCES: (As an Amazon Associate, Daysha earns a small percentage from qualifying purchases):<ul><li><a href="https://www.yesqueenlife.com/real-talk-friend-therapy-daysha-veronica/2024/10/14/ep-13-whyarewefriends-ft-dee-smith">EP 13: #WhyAreWeFriends w/ Dee</a></li><li><a href="https://www.yesqueenlife.com/real-talk-friend-therapy-daysha-veronica/2025/4/15/ep-29-whyarewefriends-ft-rachel">EP 29: #WhyAreWeFriends w/ Rachel</a></li></ul>RESOURCES:<ul><li><a href="https://forms.gle/XsTghXmbD6sbW8J47">The Real Talk Friend Therapy Friendship Painpoint Survey</a></li><li>Looking for someone to talk to about this week’s episode?

EP 40: Can Men And Women Truly Ever Be Friends? FT. Becky Harris and Jess

While it’s coming a little late, in honor of Women’s history month, Daysha decides to tackle the age-old question of whether or not men and women — and more specifically hetero men and women can ever truly be friends. While the question can seem silly and slightly regressive, Daysha invites her bestie, Becky Harris, to sit down and ponder with her since Becky has had a lot of successful male friendships. But they soon realize, at what cost are women stifling themselves in order to maintain male friendship and discuss the impact that the media has had over societal norms about opposite sex friendship. And a jaw-dropping revelation forces Daysha’s boyfriend, Jess, to get in on the conversation as well.So, if you’ve always wondered:<ul><li>Why do opposite-sex friendships get complicated?</li><li>What are healthy boundaries in male-female friendships?</li><li>How to make your partner comfortable about your opposite sex best friend</li></ul>Then I hope you are sat and ready because Real Talk Friend Therapy with Daysha Veronica is in session!REFERENCES: (As an Amazon Associate, Daysha earns a small percentage from qualifying purchases):<ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4e5VoVH">The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center</a> by Rhaina Cohen</li><li><a href="https://www.yesqueenlife.com/real-talk-friend-therapy-daysha-veronica/2025/2/14/ep-23-friendship-vs-romance-is-it-worth-the-risk-ft-curly-velasquez">EP 23: Friendship vs Romance: Is It Worth The Risk?
