Heidi Clements & Constance Zimmer: Finding Your People at Every Age
What if the same instant spark you feel falling in love could happen with a friend? Meet Today's Peas: Constance Zimmer is an actress known for iconic, sharp-edged roles in Entourage, UnREAL, House of Cards, and Love Story. Heidi Clements is a television producer, writer, social media force, and pro-aging influencer. Constance and Heidi's friendship started, of all places, in a business meeting. Heidi had written a pitch for a show, Sony sent it to Constance, and the two were on a Zoom call two days later that turned into a lifelong friendship. In this episode, they talk with Dr. Miriam about that instant, love-at-first-sight-style recognition that can happen between friends just as much as romantic partners ("friendship chemistry") and how it showed up for them despite a ten-year age gap and a pandemic that kept them apart in person. They get into what it's really like turning 50 and 60 in the same "bracket" of life, how an inspiring encounter at a farmers market sparked their podcast (Talk Fifty To Me) and why they've both found it easier, not harder, to make real friends in midlife once they stopped performing and started showing up as themselves. Pull up a chair. This one's for anyone who's found their person in the least likely place. -- Follow your new friends: @welcometoheidi & @constancezimmer Your friendship questions deserve answers.
