Judi Love & Angela Scanlon on the “Sisterhood Code” and the Tiny Things That Matter

Friendship is often built on the little things. 

Not the grand gestures or dramatic speeches… but the quiet moments that say, “I’ve got you.” 

In the latest episode of The MarshyCast, comedian Judi Love and presenter Angela Scanlon joined me to talk about what’s being called the “Sisterhood Code”… the small, everyday ways women look out for one another. 

Very quickly, it became clear that the Sisterhood Code is operating on a completely different level to the Brotherhood Code. In fact, during the conversation, I realised men probably only manage about one thing on the entire list. 

Judi and Angela explained how seemingly tiny gestures can make all the difference. Fixing a label sticking out at the back of someone’s top. Quietly sorting messy hair. Checking in with a look across the room. It’s a kind of unspoken support system built into everyday life. 

Of course, friendship also comes with difficult moments… which led us to perhaps the toughest social question imaginable: how do you tell a friend they’ve got bad breath on a night out? 

Thankfully, the conversation stayed full of warmth and humour, eventually landing on a universal truth… sometimes friendship is simply about sharing a piece of chocolate and having a good laugh together. 

It’s funny, relatable, and surprisingly thoughtful all at once.
