#39: The Science Behind Female Friendships with Naama Barnea-Goraly

"Scientific studies show that women who have deep connections with other women have fewer illnesses, respond better to stress better and even recover better from breast cancer. We don't even need to look at scientific research to know that there is a big difference between female and male friendships. We feel it, and we see it. Relationships are everything to us. But why is it so?

In this episode, we uncover the biological differences, especially within the brain. We talk about why women have developed the need and habit to continually be in communication while men prefer to use fewer words. Naama Barnea-Goraly M.D. grew up in Israel and was trained in child and adolescent psychiatry. She had worked as an Instructor and brain researcher at Stanford University and spent most of her time investigating brain structure in disorders affecting social cognition - autism. Results of her work were published extensively in leading psychiatric and neuroscience journals and presented at international conferences. She was the first one to discover that white matter fibers of the brain are disconnected in children with autism.

In the course of her work she became interested in gender differences in social cognition, and the significant benefits strong friendships offer, especially for women. So she had quit the academia after 15 years and started “Telle” (pronounced “tell”), an app designed to be the easiest way to connect with your girl-tribe. Privately. Because behind every successful woman is a tribe of women who have her back.
