Understanding Relational Aggression in Female Friendships

Relational aggression is a real phenomenon where sophisticated tactics are used for covert strikes in female friendships. This behavior, also known as emotional warfare, includes actions like gossiping subtly, giving the silent treatment, and using deniable tactics that seem innocent. These behaviors stem from a mix of factors, including high emotional intelligence, cultural expectations, and the need to avoid direct confrontation. Recognizing these subtleties in relational aggression can help navigate complex social dynamics and conflicts within female relationships.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about friendship, specifically how to navigate friendship conflict and find forever friends.

To help us with this, I invited a Girls Night favorite back on the show, my dear friend, Danielle Bayard Jackson! Danielle is a female friendship coach and educator who speaks nationally about the science of women’s platonic connections. She has a brand new book out called, Fighting for Our Friendships: The Science and Art of Conflict and Connection in Women's Relationships.

This book offers the strategies we all need when navigating our friendships and she’s sharing several of those strategies with us in today’s conversation! She’s also sharing more about “friend types” and how to know which one you are!

One of my favorite moments of the episode was when she shared her advice for setting boundaries in your friendships. Y’all need to listen in, because you’re going to LOVE what she has to say about this!

Okay, friends, make yourself cozy — here’s my conversation with Danielle!
