We're talking about a different relationship today: friendship! Not only how your friends can be there to support you while dating – but more importantly, the immense value this type of relationship brings in itself. We're talking with friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson about everything from why friends are so important for our mental health, navigating the different stages of friendship, and how to help your friends in a way that truly supports them. We're also talking about the challenging sides of friendship: friend breakups, being excluded, or feeling alone as friends move on. Share this episode with a bestie and tell them how much they truly mean to you!
