We know that our connections to our families, our friends, and our communities are SO important — so important that when we don’t maintain them, our health and our overall well-being can suffer. 

Maintaining our connections in real life is essential, and perhaps nobody knows that better than our guest Danielle Bayard Jackson, known as “The Friendship Expert” on TikTok. Listen in to hear how societal changes, cultural obstacles, and personal expectations have changed the way we maintain our most important relationships.  

And then, Allison Gilbert, co-author of “The Joy of Connections” with the late Dr. Ruth, talks about how we can forge deeper connections and show the people we love that we care about them — without going broke in the process.
