Co-Hosted by Lisa Najarian (Loopie) and Author/Advice Expert Liz Pryor 

A podcast that pops the cap on friendship topics left off the societal radar. Friendship Fizz is candid, straight-talk on female friendship from the inside out. We put the truth, the struggle, the pain, and the gain of female friendship on the table. Listener letters, stories, and personal experiences drive the content and invite us to work through their friendship terrain with practical, usable take-aways from both an amateur and an expert.

From how women end friendship and the emotional aftermath, to the seemingly harmless friend who always shows up late, we unveil the stuff friends keep buried. We unearth all of it on this show, and find ways through it. The conversations here blend humor and empathy with plain, old-fashioned, good sense for women who share the belief that no matter what, we'll strive to do it right—or at least, the best we can. We also make time here to celebrate one another. We want to know how you share your love with your friends on girls’ getaways because we know our lives would never see the same ease or joy without some of the most impacting relationships in our lives...our girlfriends. 

Loopie (Lisa Najarian)

It is her passion to bring girlfriendships_^® their fullest potential just like she tried to do all of her years growing up.

Loopie was born in Santa Rosa, CA, but didn’t stay long, which was the harbinger for what her childhood was going to look like. From birth to age 14, she lived in more than 15 different places—all within a 100-mile radius. It’s difficult for a little girl to get grounded when her restless, high-school-dropout-mom keeps moving from town to town, relationship to relationship. But she used her sense of discovery, unwavering positivity, and need for human connection to form girlfriendships at every stage of her challenging journey. It is her passion to bring girlfriendships to their fullest potential just like she tried to do all of her years growing up.

Loopie is a proud first-generation college graduate with a B.A. degree from California State University at Chico, and holds a Master’s Degree in Education.

Her life has gone from peanut butter to caviar, but she is most comfortable being the laywoman, the one who has been there all too often so she can give her real-life experience on girlfriendships.

She and her husband Pete live in the north and the south and travel to all points in between. Her two, all-grown-up and out-of-the-house children are some of her life’s best work.
