Description

Why are adult friendships so hard, and what can we actually do about it? In this episode, we’re joined by Danielle Bayard Jackson, a leading women’s relational health educator and author of Fighting for Our Friendships, to unpack the real (and often unspoken) dynamics of female friendships. From ghosting and group chat drama to making new friends after 40, Danielle shares the science behind connection, why conflict is inevitable (and even healthy), and how to protect your relationships through life’s biggest transitions - divorce, motherhood, moves, career shifts, and everything in between. If you’ve ever felt left out, let down, or just totally overwhelmed by friendship in adulthood, this episode is for you.
