For many of us, having a friendship break down can feel like a failure, because so often we wrongly measure the success of a friendship by its longevity. And whilst longevity can be evidence of a successful, healthy, functional relationship, these factors alone won’t insulate us from other things that pose a threat, such as people’s changing goals or desires, or the various external factor at play. 

When a friendship breaks down, it's easy to turn inward, be discouraged and put your walls up, so in this episode our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson unpacks the reasons why friendship breakups can feel like such personal failures, and provides advice on what we can do to redefine relational success.

And as always, stay tuned for this week’s homework, where Danielle shares a framework that you can apply when analysing your past friendship breakdowns to gain valuable insights, make breakdowns more productive, and ultimately pave the way for you to create better female friendships.
