do less, god bless

Happy NFF Friday, besties! It’s time for your favorite past time: being vulnerable and making friends. (Content warning: discussion of suicide.) This week, Jen and Hayley are thrilled to welcome special guest Saira Malhotra to the pod! Saira is a licensed social worker and therapist based out of Denver, CO and, bonus, an old friend from Hayley’s Boston University days. Saira takes us on a journey through being a mental health professional (especially during a pandemic), being a South Asian woman in predominantly white spaces of privilege, and the words of wisdom they wish everyone could hear.  Plus, some thoughts on HBO shows and natal charts. Settle in! Send in your friend questions to [email protected] and follow us on Twitter and Instagram @nofilterfriendz or on TikTok @nofilterfriendship. Our theme song is written and performed by Emily Rooker and Nate Smith.
