We know that our connections to our families, our friends, and our communities are SO important — so important that when we don't maintain them, our health and our overall well-being can suffer. Maintaining our connections in real life is essential, and perhaps nobody knows that better than our guest Danielle Bayard Jackson, known as “The Friendship Expert” on TikTok. Listen in to hear how societal changes, cultural obstacles, and personal expectations have changed the way we maintain our most important relationships. And then, Allison Gilbert, co-author of “The Joy of Connections” with the late Dr. Ruth, talks about how we can forge deeper connections and show the people we love that we care about them — without going broke in the process.

Today's summer rewind is a re-release of one of our favourites that we keep coming back to. We'll be back in September with brand new interviews!Making friends can be intimidating at any age, but it feels especially daunting as adults. As we hit our 30s, our groups of friends are getting smaller and smaller (fun fact: We replace half our friend group every seven years as adults!). Life gets busy, people move away, and milestones come at different times. Even though this seems to be universal, it can still feel like something is wrong with us. If we've learned anything along our adulting journey, it's that friendships are crucial to our mental and physical wellbeing. So this week, we're learning how to prioritize the most underrated of our relationships, how to make new ones, and why it's so damn hard to maintain friends as an adult. We're not the experts, so we called in Dr. Miriam Kirmayer. Having spent over a decade researching the science of friendship and helping people live more connected lives, Dr. Miriam is a clinical psychologist, writer, speaker, and leading expert on friendship and social connection. She's appeared on some of our favourite media outlets, from Call Her Daddy to Vogue and The New York Times.She sits on the Mental Health Advisory Committee for Wondermind, a media company co-founded by Selena Gomez, and is a member of The GenWell Project, a human connection movement. She also has a private practice and is one of the first and only licensed clinical psychologists to specialize in friendship therapy!Join us as we chat about:Why our friendships dwindle as we ageDr. Miriam's best tips for making new friendsOvercoming the fear of rejectionHow many hours it actually takes to establish a true friendshipHow our attachment styles affect our friendshipsAdapting to new life stages and navigating changing relationshipsWhy one friend can't check every boxHow to prioritize friendships (and why it's good for your health!)Advice on letting go of friendships that have run their courseWe hope this episode helps you feel less alone and inspires you to get back into the friendship market.

1- Old School leadership thinking claims that work is work and personal is personal and never the two shall meet. However, how many of your friends resulted from work relationships? How much more joyful is the work when you know friends have your back? How much more engaged are you? After all, you often see coworkers more often in a given week than your partner or children!My guest today is author and keynote speaker Shasta Nelson. We discuss the myths around work friendships, and how encouraging friendships at work and making intentional connections leads to not only higher performance, engagement, retention, and loyalty - but less absenteeism and better health for you and your employees. We discuss the epidemic of loneliness, how to balance personal relationships with tough business situations, and why it's in an organization's best interest to foster work friendships. Shasta shares what we learn as school age kids and how it applies to work and what healthy friendships at work look like. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:Work is to adults what school was to children. We never tell children to not make friends, yet many adults believe they should not make friends in the same type of environment. Being friendly with someone is different from being close friends with someone. There should be enough safety that everyone is, at minimum, friendly with each other.Proactively have conversations with your friends at work about challenges that may come up, whether because of conflict, discipline, or something else. It will strengthen your relationship as you open with one another. Consistency, positivity, and vulnerability are important for any healthy relationship.

There's a new epidemic in town: Loneliness. And while making friends is intimidating at any age, it feels especially daunting as adults. As we hit our 30s, our groups of friends are getting smaller and smaller (fun fact: We replace half our friend group every seven years as adults!). Life gets busy, people move away, and milestones come at different times. Even though this seems to be universal, it can still feel like something is wrong with us.

In three years of the Friend Forward Podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson has only ever focused on female friendships – until now. If you search “Men's friendships” online, you'll likely be hit with a tonne of recent headlines about the current ‘crisis' concerning men's friendships, and maybe this is something you've even observed with the men in your own life, perhaps in your husband's, father's or brother's relationships. A recent survey on the matter found that the percentage of men with at least six close friends has fallen by half in the last 30 years, and the number of men who say they have 0 close friends has increased fivefold. In this episode, Danielle turns the spotlight to the men, to shed some light on what is going on and what men themselves have to say about. She speaks with seven men from all different walks of life about their personal experiences of navigating friendships as a man. This is Part 1 of this 2-part special episode, so make sure you tune in when the next episode drops, in just one hour's time.

In Part 1 of our Men's Friendship episode, we met several men who shared their experiences of male platonic relationships. Despite the differences and the nuances of their various situations, their stories all supported the recent findings that most men are having fewer friendships that they had just 30 years ago, and that the friendships they do have fail to offer a safe space for them to share emotional support. In this episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson explores what we can do about this issue, and the men share their advice for other men, and for us women, on how we can support the men in our lives. Danielle also speaks with Melanie Hamlet, a journalist who wrote an article for Harper's Bazaar, entitled “Men Have No Friends and Women Bear The Burden”, and they dive deep on the many implications of this. And as always, stay tuned for your homework.

Coordinating a bachelorette party, divvying up bridesmaid responsibilities, and navigating the engagement party group chat-- to the untrained eye, this all looks like a bunch of unnecessary wedding drama. But for women who are in the thick of wedding season, they know that it's about so much more: during wedding season, a lot of our secret friendship stuff bubbles up to the surface, and we're forced to deal with it publicly and in real time. But how do we navigate tension, express expectations, and accept the fact that some relationships will... "transition"? In this episode, we're talking to bridal coach and therapist Kara Maureen, who specializes in helping brides manage relationship drama during wedding season, She'll tell us three ways this time period can shift our friendships and what to do about those changes. If you have a story to shard about how your friendships either deepened or ended during a wedding, please submit it to our blog here!

How can we help young people build healthy friendships? How do we balance old friendships with new ones? And why should we be strategic about the energy we put into friendships? The truth is, friendship doesn't just happen. Great friendships take effort. In Part 2 of our conversation about friendship with Dr. Marisa G. Franco, psychologist and the New York Times bestselling author of “Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends,” House Calls explores some of the underpinnings for strong platonic relationships. Building on the first part of their conversation, the Surgeon General and Dr. Franco talk about the mental health challenges young people are experiencing and how to help them create the types of connections that lead to meaningful relationships. Later in the conversation, Dr. Franco shares her tips for using the “intimacy skills” we often save for romantic partners to deepen our important friendships. * Help us get the word out about House Calls by rating and reviewing wherever you get your podcasts.

You may have heard women who describe themselves as "high-achievers", and typically, these women have the kind of traits that we all aspire to have: they're go-getters, they may have a lot of social connections, and they are likely what most would consider to be successful. But when it comes to friendship, there's one way that they are getting it wrong. To help us understand what this is, I'm calling in Vernique Esther, an Atlanta-based therapist who specializes in working with high-achieving women.

Are you struggling to make new friends? Is your friendship circle a constant source of stress, whether you're dealing with toxic friendships or an unfulfilling social life? Do you struggle to know when it's time (and how) to break up with a friend, or what to do when you and your friends are in different life phases? No one prepares us for how hard making (and keeping) friendships is as an adult–many of us feel alone, so what's the secret to a happy social life? Josie and Alaina are talking with Miriam Kirmayer, a clinical psychologist and leading friendship expert. She has researched the science of social connection for over a decade, so her insight cracks the code to achieving fulfilling relationships as an adult. In this episode, we talk about tangible ways to make new friends, what a healthy social life actually looks like, and why we associate our self-identity with the people we surround ourselves with.Check out Miriam's articles on The Everygirl here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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. The goal of this episode is to bridge the divide between "girls' girls" and "guys' girls" in an attempt to alleviate some of the hostility and misunderstanding between these two groups. If this resonates with you, come tell us about it on Instagram @friendforward or visit us (and schedule a personal coaching session!) by visiting Betterfemalefriendships.com.

Hello, Rulebreakers! We're hard at work behind the scenes on some new ideas for Color Forward and that means looking back at some of our favorite moments from the past two years. In lieu of new content, we thought we'd share those moments with all of you, along with our thoughts about why these conversations still resonate so much. If you missed these episodes when they first aired (and even if you didn't), you're in for a real treat! We hope you enjoy our 2022 Summer Series and feel as excited as we do for the future of our amazing, multicultural community of changemakers! — Notes for Part 1: Did you know there's actual research that indicates that most people like you more than you think they do? Well, Dr. Marisa G. Franco knows it, which is why she's writing a book all about how to make friends as an adult. Listen as Alisa and Merary discuss what real friendship looks like in their professional and personal lives. "There's a point at which the desire to protect yourself becomes a harm. When you're rejecting people before they reject you and you're not experiencing the feelings of connecting with other people, the feeling of being replenished and rejuvenated, the feeling of being seen and known. All of those are something that you might be missing out on in your journey to self protect." – Dr. Marisa G. Franco, PhD Topics discussed in episode 28: The Liking Gap Underestimating first impressions Making friends takes work You're more likable than you might think Self-protection vs. self-harm Being intentional about making friends Racial preferences and unconscious bias The highest honor of friendship The Highest Honor of Friendship is an excerpt from a post on https://www.facebook.com/jessjohnstonwonderoak/posts/the-highest-honor-of-friendship-isnt-getting-invited-to-that-party-or-out-on-a-g/2625879164395148/ (Wonderoak by Jess Johnston). — Notes for Part 2: Have you ever had to break up with a friend? How do you know when it's time to let them go? Or what if it's not time but you're not sure how to have a conversation to find out? This week, Alisa, Rosa, and Merary go deep into their own theories about what healthy friendship looks like and what to do when you're ready to say goodbye. "As human beings, if we've invested a lot of time into something, we're more likely to want to continue the relationship. Just because we've invested a lot, we assume that we should continue this relationship when that's not necessarily true. And I think we need to normalize outgrowing relationships with people." – Dr. Marisa G. Franco, Friendship Expert Topics discussed in this episode: Creating a framework to let friends go Ambiguous loss Reciprocity Theory Other theories on compartmentalizing friendships Healthy vs. unhealthy relationships Three factors to stay in a relationship — More from Dr. Marisa Franco: https://drmarisagfranco.com/ (Website) | https://instagram.com/DrMarisaGFranco (Instagram) | https://twitter.com/DrMarisaGFranco (Twitter) | https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/experts/marisa-franco-phd (Psychology Today) More from Alisa Manjarrez: https://www.thehappycact.us/ (The Happy Cactus) More from Rosa Santos: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosa-santos-7b6ab02/ (LinkedIn) More from Dr. Merary Simeon: https://merarysimeon.com/ (MerarySimeon.com)

This week we're talking about conflict in friendships! Research shows that our female friendships have more of an impact on our overall life satisfaction than our romantic relationships, which means the feelings we have attached to them can feel more significant than even those of our long-term partners, and that they take work! We share what conflict has looked like in our friendships, including our own. We also break down ways to navigate conflict, how to bring up your feelings, and hear the other person's POV. This episode is rebranding conflict in friendship as a whole because it truly can be an incredible way to move two people closer together if you approach it the right way.

In close friendships, you are typically equally as invested in their love lives as they are. Commiserating over bad dates and failed situationships can bring friends together, but what happens when your bestie starts dating someone you don't like? Whether your friend is overlooking some major red flags in their new partner or just generally spending less time with you, we've been there–and we get it. Most of the time, it seems like there are only two not-so-great options: ignore how you feel and build resentment or confront them and risk damaging the friendship.

Danielle Bayard Jackson, a certified women's coach, focuses primarily on female heteronormative friendship and communication.

Why is it so difficult for some women to find and maintain healthy female friendships? Joining me today is Danielle Bayard Jackson, The Friendship Expert, to share more about this topic and to help provide actionable advice to get your friendships back on track, even if they've fallen off due to the pandemic. Danielle is a publicist by day and a certified friendship coach by night. She started her career as a high school English teacher for many years and was relied upon by her students to help navigate friendship issues. What she didn't realize is that those “high school dramas” weren't limited to high school. So often the way we approach friendship and relationships in general at a young age, follows us throughout our lives and experiences. Friendship like any other relationship requires work and nurturing but after more than a year of limited in-person interaction, it may seem daunting to reconnect. Listen as Danielle shares her tips for re-emerging as we reach the end of this pandemic and what you can be doing right now to start working on building new friendships. Remember that there could be people in your existing circle that you'd click with, you just need to give it a chance. Also, just because someone doesn't have the capacity to spend time with you right now does not mean that they aren't interested in friendship. Don't let the stories you tell yourself obscure what could be an amazing relationship. If you've struggled in any way with finding strong female friendships, then you won't want to miss out on everything Danielle has to share. In this episode: [01:01] Welcome friendship coach and expert Danielle Bayard Jackson to chat all about making and maintaining adult female friendships. [04:22] Listen as Danielle shares more about her background and business. [05:24] How did she become a friendship coach? [07:10] Why is it so difficult for us to keep and maintain female friendships in adulthood. [09:14] Danielle shares how she defines and describes a healthy friendship. [13:31] Ways to deal with the waiting period between finding new acquaintances and making new friends. [15:43] There is a study that has attempted to quantify how long it takes to build a friendship. [18:03] What to do when you realize that you don't feel like you have the energy for friendships. [23:42] Is there a right and wrong to determine how many coins we have available to give? [27:03] The special thing about woman-to-woman friendships. [30:47] Learn the single greatest determining factor of our overall well-being. [32:37] What is your next step after you self-assess and you're ready to cultivate new friendships? [39:52] The things you shouldn't do when you slide into someone's DMs to make a connection.

Did you know there's actual research that indicates that most people like you more than you think they do? Well, Dr. Marisa G. Franco knows it, which is why she's writing a book all about how to make friends as an adult. Listen as Alisa and Merary discuss what real friendship looks like in their professional and personal lives. "There's a point at which the desire to protect yourself becomes a harm. When you're rejecting people before they reject you and you're not experiencing the feelings of connecting with other people, the feeling of being replenished and rejuvenated, the feeling of being seen and known. All of those are something that you might be missing out on in your journey to self protect." – Dr. Marisa G. Franco, PhD Topics discussed in this episode: The Liking Gap Underestimating first impressions Making friends takes work You're more likable than you might think Self-protection vs. self-harm Being intentional about making friends Racial preferences and unconscious bias The highest honor of friendship — More from Dr. Franco: https://drmarisagfranco.com/ (Website) | https://instagram.com/DrMarisaGFranco (Instagram) | https://twitter.com/DrMarisaGFranco (Twitter) | https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/experts/marisa-franco-phd (Psychology Today) More from Rosa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosa-santos-7b6ab02/ (LinkedIn) More from Merary: https://merarysimeon.com/ (MerarySimeon.com) More from Alisa: https://www.thehappycact.us/ (The Happy Cactus) The Highest Honor of Friendship (minute 18:19 in this episode) is an excerpt from a post on https://www.facebook.com/jessjohnstonwonderoak/posts/the-highest-honor-of-friendship-isnt-getting-invited-to-that-party-or-out-on-a-g/2625879164395148/ (Wonderoak by Jess Johnston).

This week: Salesforce Marketing Cloud SocialMedia.org Cultivate Workplace Friendships Did you know that 70% of our happiness comes down to our relationships? Yet, we often focus more on the remaining 30% and neglect to give the other 70% the attention and effort it really deserves. If you want to be an overall happier and healthier person, Friendship Expert, Speaker & Author, Shasta Nelson, believes it starts and ends with your friendships.

Shasta states that it’s “almost impossible to be happy if you don’t have meaningful relationships,” and provides compelling evidence to support her claims that having friends at work makes you a better and happier person.
