Jasmine Douglas and Zoe Kezia on Building a Healthy Friendship Through Independence, Support, and Stability.

Jasmine and Zoe explain they met years before Babes on Waves—initially through nights out and mutual connections (including Zoe knowing Jasmine’s brother first)—with gaps in communication before reconnecting through work when Zoe assisted Jasmine’s first Babes on Waves shoot and later became her assistant. They discuss how the friendship gradually became close, why Jasmine considers it her healthiest adult friendship.

OFC, You're Invited

OFC: You’re Invited brings one guest per episode together with a +1 of their choice– a sibling, partner, cousin, close friend, or long-term collaborator.

So much of how we understand ourselves comes from the people we move through life with- not from our jobs, or our bios, or the versions of ourselves we put online.

This podcast is about making room for that.
