It’s our end-of-year episode. Assistant producer Rebekah Jacobs joins me to break down the top cities listening to Dear Nina, the most popular episodes of 2025, and the friendship themes that clearly hit home—rejection, overthinking, repair, and the need to feel chosen. We reflect on this year’s friendship challenges, our biggest podcast moments, and what these patterns say about adult friendships. Thanks for listening this year. We’ll see you in 2026. Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
