In this episode of Choose the Bear, I’m joined by writer, director, producer, actor, and writer Delaney Buffett to talk about her incredible new film Adult Best Friends, now streaming on Max.

This is the first movie I’ve seen that truly explores so many of the themes we talk about on this podcast: the evolution of female friendship, giving your friends grace as you grow, and what it means to navigate different life stages while still showing up for one another. We also get into the creative process, solo working life, and yes—Zooming into work from bed.

Grab your girlfriends and stream Adult Best Friends—this one’s made for us.

In this episode of Choose the Bear, I talk with Florence Wlodarski, founder of Parallel Social Club—a vibrant new community designed for SINKs (single income, no kids) and DINKs (dual income, no kids).

We chat about how Florence built the social club we’ve all been waiting for, her vision for a more connected solo-living culture, and why intentional community matters now more than ever. Whether you’re single, childfree, or simply seeking meaningful adult connection, this episode will leave you inspired.

In this episode of Choose the Bear, I talk with Jeremy Ney—data journalist and creator of American Inequality—about maternal mortality in the United States. We dig into both the encouraging trends and the sobering truths behind maternal health outcomes, especially for women of color.

Jeremy’s research offers a critical look at the systemic inequalities impacting maternal mortality and what can actually be done to address them. This conversation is eye-opening, data-driven, and incredibly important.
