grief support group #10 💌 on toxic friends, growing up with Sex and the City, and bows meaning business

Welcome to the 💌💗GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP🪩🍒‼️. This is my radio show on KSFS Radio at San Francisco State where I talk all things pop culture, my research on grief and media, and answer your advice questions.Happy birthday to my mom! This week I discuss the impact Sex and the City and other women-centered stories had on me, why Love Island made me delete Instagram, and answer the following advice questions:★ Recently discovered some friends or even situationships were actually undercover ops and moving in ways where they were jealous of me and rooting for my downfall. How do I avoid these people in the future especially when they seem nice and a real friend at first?★ Do you believe in being friends with exes? Is it actually healthier or not worth it? This ex I have to see pretty regularly because of work and while I’d rather just be no contact completely, I can’t be.Ask your advice questions anonymously here: bit.ly/ksfsadviceHere’s the music I played this week: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2E41uVrLCFdHv35AFXTfrz?si=ol5Nn5LXSDCZL9CqqLhCigIf you want to play the music alongside the audio:Introduction segmentMusic break [is it new years yet?, Dreamcheater]Research segment Music break [December]Advice segment 1 Music break [LoveStoned / I Think She Knows Interlude]Advice segment 2 and outroMusic break [Resentment]Listen live next time on Tuesdays from 9-10 a.m. PST at ksfsmedia.net or by downloading the KSFS radio app. 🪩 See you there!
