  • Pauline Chalamet, Lily Sondik & Zoe Mylonas: Across the Globe and Still Inseparable
    Jun 11 2026

    What does it take to keep a friendship alive across different cities, different countries, and every version of who you're becoming? Pauline Chalamet, Lily Sondik, and Zoe Mylonas have been figuring that out since they were teenagers.

    Meet Today’s Peas: Pauline is an American-French actress and writer, best known for her role as Kimberly Finkle on HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls. Lily is a New York-based actor, writer, and producer with credits on The Blacklist and Lioness. And Zoe is a theater actress now living in Athens, Greece, where she co-leads the nonprofit Novus Theatre Ensemble. Together, they're living proof that the right friendships don't fade with distance, they deepen.

    Dr. Miriam sits down with all three (joining from New York, Paris, and Athens) for a conversation about what it really means to grow up alongside people who've known you since the beginning. They dig into the beauty and complexity of friendship trios, the creative rituals that keep them close across time zones, how physical distance doesn't have to mean emotional distance, and why presence (not proximity) is the most powerful predictor of closeness.

    Pull up a chair. This one will make you want to call your people!

  • Office Ours: The Unicorn Friend at Work (with Fahd Alhattab)
    Jun 4 2026

    What if the most underrated career move you could make was... making a friend?

    In this Office Ours episode, Dr. Miriam sits down with Fahd Alhattab, startup workplace expert, leadership strategist, and founder of Unicorn Labs, for a conversation about why connection at work isn't a distraction from the job. It is the job. From Halloween culture shock on his first night in Canada to nearly getting impeached as student president, Fahd brings the stories, the science-adjacent takes, and a genuinely infectious enthusiasm for what great team culture can look like. Together, he and Dr. Miriam unpack workplace friendship boundaries, the myth that closeness undermines accountability, and why "hidden toxicity is just artificial harmony." Plus, the rapid-fire questioning trick that might change how you start every Monday morning.

    So, pull up a chair. Turns out, friendship is the job.

  • Ashley I. & Naz: An Untold Bachelor in Paradise Soulmate Story
    May 28 2026

    The real love story from Bachelor in Paradise? Ashley I and Naz.

    This week on Two Peas on a Pod, Dr. Miriam sits down with longtime best friends Ashley Iaconetti and Naz Perez to unpack the friendship that began behind the scenes of Bachelor in Paradise and lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling.


    From bonding over MAC’s Ruby Woo lipstick and navigating heartbreak together, to surviving career pivots, long distance, marriage, motherhood, and life in completely different seasons, Ashley and Naz reflect on the moments that turned a producer/cast relationship into something that feels more like family. They also get into Ashley’s newest chapter joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, what it’s been like stepping into a whole new reality TV world, and why Naz might be the perfect Housewives producer.


    The conversation dives into manifestation, emotional safety, radical acceptance, and the kind of friendship that roots for you without jealousy, competition, or keeping score. Naz opens up about the hardest year of her life, Ashley explains why tough love has never worked for her, and together they unpack why the best friendships are the ones where you can fully be yourself. Plus, they expose the one thing that could maybe test their friendship: Joe Jonas.


    Pull up a chair and grab your popcorn, this one is entertaining!
