This week we're sharing voice notes submitted by listeners explaining why they consider themselves "guys' girls", then offering research and insights to explain their perspective.

I recently asked 600 women about their friendships. Nearly 30% of those women said that they had a friendships that they were currently considering terminating. If that's the case, we need to spend some time thinking about not only how to do it, but why we're making that choice. To join me in this conversation, Erin Falconer comes to shed some light on the issue. She's a psychotherapist and author of the book "How to Break Up with Your Friends", and I spotlight her in this conversation to just let her drop gems without interruption.   As always, the full, unedited conversation is available for members of our GROUP CHAT, which you can join at any time by visiting Betterfemalefriendships.com.   Follow Danielle on Instagram Buy Erin's Book
