Female friendships are meaningful, yet we still tend to put them on the back burner. That is why I invited guest Danielle Jackson back to the show. Previously, we talked about how to make friends, and in this episode, we talk about how to make deeper connections with women in friendship. Danielle Bayard Jackson is a certified friendship coach and national speaker dedicated to teaching women how to create and maintain meaningful female friendships. We can never have enough episodes about female friendships; I really hope you enjoy this episode!

You’ll hear:

• The three "affinities" that bring women together (and tear them apart) (6:39)
• What’s the deal around gossip? Is it good or not? (8:24)
• The nine most challenging "friend types" (11:25)
• How to have hard conversations with a friend (13:46)
• The way female friendships are depicted in today’s media, specifically on reality tv (18:53)
• How to know if a friendship is worth saving (27:55)
