Why are female friendships so intense? Why do they fall apart so easily? And why does losing a female friend sometimes hurt more than a romantic breakup?

This 90-minute expert lecture explores what psychology reveals about female friendship - the relationships that shape our wellbeing, our sense of self, our resilience.

What you'll learn:

- How female friendships differ from male friendships (neurologically and socially).
- Why women's friendships are emotionally intense - and why that's a strength.
- The psychology of friendship breakups and why they devastate us.
- What happens when we lack close female friends.
- Common patterns that destroy female friendships.
- How to build deep friendships as an adult when life is complicated.

The format:
60-minute expert lecture | 30-minute live Q&A | Optional discussion & connection time

Who this is for:
Intellectually curious women. No qualifications needed. Curiosity is enough.
