In the second instalment of this multi-part series, Rachel & Tanvi sit down with Helga Stephenson & Dorothy Davey to explore the template they've given us - one of deep friendship, interdependence and vibrancy in later life.

At 77- and 97-years of age respectively, Helga and Dorothy both met each other single, satisfied and curious for everything that life had to offer. They fuel their big friendship with bowls of soup that they drop off at each other’s homes, doctor’s appointments that Helga takes Dorothy to, Costco runs and hosting gatherings of their favourite people where they laugh drink and make merry.

Here’s our next episode in our Big Life series, dedicated to big friendships - may we have them, may we depend on them and may we nourish them so they keep us alive and curious.
