Listen "254: Earning Our Keep in Friendships with Danielle Bayard Jackson"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to another episode of Rich In Real Life! I am so excited to be sharing this episode with you because we are going to talk about something that doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, but it something that I truly believe makes us RICH in real life - and that’s female friendships. And there’s no better guest I can think of to talk about this with than female friendship coach & educator and host of the Friend Forward podcast, Danielle Bayard Jackson.
In this episode, we talk about how to have better female friendships, why we’re so damn judgemental all the time with other women, how to experience true joy & intimacy with your female friends, and how to navigate conflict in your female friendships. Danielle also reveals the number one predictor of how satisfied you'll be in your romantic relationships in adulthood, and gets real about taking her own advice when it comes to the friendships in her life.
Danielle and I also investigate why we glorify romantic partnerships so much more than our platonic friendships, why we place so many unrealistic expectations on our friends, and how we have been conditioned to operate in disfunctional friendships.
If you are ready to expand your vision around friendships then believe me, this is an episode you do not want to miss!
