About this episode

This episode explores the 6 Besties Theory, discussing the different roles friends play in our lives and the importance of having a diverse group of best friends.

We all have best friends—but have you ever thought about the specific roles they play in your life? According to the 6 Besties Theory, no single person can be everything to you, and honestly? That’s a good thing. In this episode, we’re breaking down why we all need different kinds of best friends; the OG, the Work Bestie, the North Star, the Good Time Bestie, the Dead Body Bestie, and the Seasonal Bestie. You’ll probably start thinking about which category your closest friends fall into. We also talk about: ✔️ The bestie roles we’re missing in our own lives. ✔️ Can one person be all the besties at once? ✔️ The “Friendship Audit” —who’s really in your circle? By the end, you’ll know exactly who’s who in your friendship roster—and why having a diverse bestie lineup might just be the key to better relationships. → Hayes , the original creator of the Besties Theory: — 🖤 JOIN THE SUBJECTIVE COMMUNITY 🎧 Listen & ⁠subscribe⁠ 📬 ⁠Newsletter⁠ 📲 IG / TikTok: @TheSubjectivePod 📸IG @_DonyelleMurray 📥 Business: subjective@donyellemurray.com 📚📰 ⁠Receipts & Resources⁠ — Have a burning question?
