Ep 175: How To Have Hard Conversations With Friends (with Danielle Bayard Jackson)

Over the last few months of talking about the many layers to adult friendship as I promote my new book The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs, I've received so many questions about friendship conflict and how to navigate it with grace or end a friendship with love.  I've answered these questions to the best of my ability with my own life experience, but I also know when it's time to call in a certified expert. Danielle Bayard Jackson is a female friendship coach and educator who speaks nationally about the science of women’s platonic connections. Her coaching business, Friend Forward, is dedicated to teaching women how to create and maintain better female friendships. In this episode, Danielle gives us actual scripts for how to start those hard conversations with friends. I hung onto every word.  We all have friendship conflict sometimes and get tongue-tied or scared when we need to say the hard thing. These tips and thoughts from Danielle will give you concrete take aways for your next ackward yet necessary conversation.  Learn more about Danielle Follow Danielle on IG Listen to the Friend Forward podcast   FULL SHOW NOTES ARE HERE   MENTIONED in this episode: Laura's episode of the Friend Forward podcast Secret Stuff patreon (with bonus content from this conversation)   SPONSORS: Hello Fresh // Go to HelloFresh.com/YOU16 and use code YOU16 for 16 free meals plus free shipping Lume // Go to LumeDeodorant.com and use promo code YOU to save 40% off a starter pack   SUBSCRIBE to 10 Things To Tell You so you never miss an episode!
