Alessandra's brother Dominic is filling in for Maggie this week, and he is officially the first guest on the Pages podcast! He has become quite famous this season and we know you are all dying to meet him. This week's topic is about being friends with your siblings and the road it takes to get there. Alessandra and Dominic would know a thing or two about that, as they are both on the sam...

Woe is me! Friendships are hard in general, but do you find your childhood friendships particularly stressful? What's up with that? This episode is a quick therapy session with Maggie and Alessandra where they discuss the struggles of maintaining relationships with childhood friends in college and how to establish proper boundaries with them. No one likes to find themselves in an uncomfortabl...

Social media is a controversial topic. In this episode, Alessandra and Maggie discuss their experiences and opinions about online friends.  Are you really friends with someone if you only know them online? Is that a good thing? Is it bad? Tune in to hear some fun stories as the girls talk about how social media has affected their relationships when meeting new people.  

Double trouble! In this episode, we analyze two myths in one go! They both have to do with the expectations of best friends and what is reasonable. (Spoiler! Lots of it really goes back to your personal responsibility). But wait! Shouldn't it be reasonable to have expectations for your best friends? Well, technically yes... and no. You'll just have to listen to see just what we mean.  Le...

Not that we would know anything about having a significant other these days, but we sure do have an opinion on them! But what, you may ask, could be more romantic than falling in love with your best friend? Well, we would argue, quite a few things (especially if they include boundaries and a well-rounded social life). You'll just have to listen and find out! 

#BFF right? What seems like a cultural staple is probably a lot more toxic than you think. Maggie and Alessandra dive into this myth that "best friends are forever" and come to some pretty interesting conclusions. They give their opinions and fears about a concept like this being a culturally normal mindset, especially when it comes to young people just trying to survive high school. 

The first myth we tackle is "everyone should have a best friend." But doesn't everyone have one? Why would that be a bad thing? Would that not be rather hypocritical considering Alessandra and Maggie are in fact "best friends"? Alessandra and Maggie give their opinion and insight on this hot topic. 

Season 1 is all about friendship! Maggie and Alessandra break down what they think it means to be a "best friend" and the implications that come with the title. This short episode sets the stage for the following episodes, which will be addressing the myths about friendships and how they can ruin your social life. Enjoy! 

Maggie met Alessandra and her two brothers at a conference where, unbeknownst to the sibling trio, people assumed they were famous. Listen as Maggie recounts her untold side of the story (with Alessandra listening in shock, as she had no clue of any of this) giving insight into the unexpected storyline. This sure is a fun one!
