Are We Really Friends? w/ Kaya Allyn: Recent Episodes
Kaya Allyn
Are you struggling to navigate adult friendship in our modern age? Do you feel like you don't understand how some people just "become friends"? I've had these same feelings too. Every episode I'll get to know a new (or old) friend on a deeper level while we explore our relationship and the friendships we've had through a random theme. Sometimes it'll be serious, most of the time it's fun, but at the end of the day you should feel a little less alone and better equipped to open yourself up to the vulnerability of friendship. The price is high but the reward is great.
Better late than never! It's the season finale 😁 lucky 13!
Angie and I talk about her time in the service, comedy, and just being general dorks.
I hope you enjoy and I'll talk to you in a month (maybe two)
Megan and I talk in the country about marriage, racial identities, Megan's terrible memory, and her future dentist dreams 🦷
Better late than never! The irony that I've been trying to spend more time offline has not escaped me and as a result delayed posting this wonderful episode. Paul and I talk about growing up in China, his Boomer qualities regarding phones, and how community is affected by technology. Hope you enjoy!
Cheyenne and I talk about our goals! She has so many and I'm still working on it 💪🏼 It's lovely having someone around who loves a plan, sticking to it, and helping their friends along the way. Hope you enjoy!
Johanna and I talk about the people who've given us comfort and living in our comfort zone. I get weepy 🤷🏼♀️
Hey everyone! Brian and I talk about how we feel about hate! How we process it, it's role in society, how to move past it and sometimes how it can be a bit funny (after you've built up a thicker skin). I hope you enjoy!
Kate and I talk through our trust issues. Learning how to heal and trust your own instincts when the world has burned you is hard work! Are you really preserved when you shelter yourself away or is it the emotional equivalent to being in a doorless room? Forever watching others have meaningful interaction, experiencing all life has to offer, and not having the courage to hope you won't regret letting others in. Personally, I think it's a life unfulfilled when you choose isolation rather than opportunity.
Sorry for the delay! Part of having adult friendships is dealing with adult schedules!
Today, Gayle Murray and I talk about our experiences with art growing up and how art has made an impact on our lives in all arenas. What is art? Who is it for and how do we connect with someone through it? Hope you enjoy listening to two funny ladies chat about our careers, aspirations, and perspective ethos. Enjoy!

Today, I speak with my amazing uncle, Jon Paul Allyn, about our friendship and how we grew up. We are close but it was nice to talk about how our friendship has changed and grown with us. Hope you enjoy!
Today, I speak with my artistic and brave friend, Maddie, about growing up in an abusive household, struggles with mental illness, and dependency issues. Best friends have come and gone but you're still left with the pieces. We discuss when it's time to distance yourself from toxic friendships and setting up healthy boundaries.
If you need assistance with ANYTHING, contact your local 211 (dial 211 from any phone) regarding local resources for housing, mental health, food, crisis centers, etc.
Today, Erica and I talk about 🌈imagination🌈 and living as roommates in our 20s. This is a sillier version of what I usually do because how can you talk about imaginative, fun, and spontaneous friendships stoically? We discuss neuroscience, encounters with odd strangers, funerals, and how much we cherish each other's own uniqueness.
Today, I spoke with a new-ish friend, Carissa, in the garden of all places! We talk about the quiet moments with friends and how we can be conscious and aware in our friendships. How can our meaningful relationships lead to overall well-being and confidence (even when you're alone)? Come join us in nature🌿
FIRST EPISODE! Let's talk about our first best friends and why we lost touch with friends from high school. How much did your parents impact your friend making? Growing up is hard 🥴
Today, my preschooler helps me test my new mic and we talk about his friends at school!
