Summary

In some ways, women are known as being the connectors, the party hosts, the drivers of relationships. A byproduct of spending centuries constrained to child-rearing and home-making is that many of us have this bio-cultural skill of building community. Why is it then that many of us feel intimidated by other women, lacking in our female friendships, and worrying if our friends truly like us? And as soon as we get over that, finally let someone close to us, they sometimes end up breaking our heart and with it, the friendship. Best friend break-ups involve as much grief as romantic break-ups and yet, we don’t have as many tools to deal with them. Luckily, Danielle Bayard Jackson is here to help us build strong friendships, especially those with fellow women. Danielle Bayard Jackson is a female friendship coach and educator who speaks nationally about the science of women’s platonic connections. She is also the author of the book Fighting for Our Friendships (May 2024). Danielle’s coaching business, Friend Forward, is dedicated to teaching women how to create and maintain better female friendships, and her expertise has been featured in The New York Times, NBC News, Psychology Today, Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, Good Morning America, and a host of other media outlets. A former high school teacher, Danielle now uses her teaching skills and leverages her background to study what the latest research has to say about women’s cooperation, communication, and conflict. You will learn about... - the role jealousy plays in our female friendships - what we should/ should not expect from people in our social circle - the 3 key components to good friendships - how to cope with friendship break-ups Remember: self-love begs us to have a balance between independence and dependence.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mary's Cup of Tea, the Self-Love Podcast for Women, though all self-lovers are welcome here.
0:07.1	I'm your host, Mary Jolkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, retreat leader, and all-around
0:12.7	self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:20.1	Hello, self-lover. Before we dive into today's podcast episode, I want to make
0:24.6	sure you know about my two books on self-love. If you're struggling with body image or self-acceptance,
0:30.3	then I highly recommend you check out my first book, The Gift of Self-Love. It's a comprehensive
0:35.3	workbook to help you build confidence, recognize your worth,
0:38.9	and learn to love who you are. Thousands of people have this book and the five-star reviews are so
0:44.6	amazing. They give me so much life, so I hope that this is something that can help you too.
0:49.3	You can get it wherever books are sold by searching for the gift of self-love or go to my website
0:54.6	maryscup of tea.com slash book. After releasing the gift of self-love and reading all your
1:00.2	positive feedback, I realized that we really needed something to keep us going every single day. So
1:05.5	not a deep dive workbook, but maybe like a micro dose of self-love in your daily life, which is why I wrote
1:12.8	100 days of self-love. It's a guided journal with, you guessed it, 100 prompts that cover so many
1:18.8	areas of life, including body, identity, purpose, emotions, mindset, relationships, and more. So you can
1:26.1	really think of it as a metaphorical multivitamin,
1:29.1	something to keep you going, or as I like to say, growing, on your self-love journey.
1:33.5	You can get this journal wherever books are sold as well by searching for 100 days of self-love
1:38.2	or go to Mary's Cup of Tea.com slash journal. It's my mission to share all the self-love tea
1:43.6	with you, so I hope that both my books and
1:45.9	this podcast can do just that.
1:53.5	In some ways, us women are known as being the connectors, the party hosts, the planners, the drivers of relationships.
