A few months back, you met someone special - he’s cute, funny, attentive, ambitious, and basically ticks all of your boxes, but whenever you speak to your best friend about how things are progressing, there is something that feels ‘off’ about her advice. Is she jealous or projecting, or is it rooted in love for you and is she just being cautiously sceptical with your best interests at heart?

Our romantic relationships and friendships both have a great influence on our lives, so how do we work to bring harmony between the two?

In this episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson talks to Sex and Relationship expert Dr. Tara, a Tenured Professor and Coach, whose spicy but educational content has amassed more than 2 million followers on Tik Tok. In this conversation, they explore the intersection between dating relationships and friendships, and discuss the obvious and not-so-obvious ways your friendships may be impacting your dating life.

And, as always, stay tuned for this week’s homework.
