The Unspoken Rules of Women’s Friendships

We count on close friends to understand us. So, why do we often hesitate to tell them what we need?

Danielle Bayard Jackson, friendship expert and author of Fighting for Our Friendships, explains how expectations about reciprocity, support and trust can bring women together—and cause trouble when broken expectations go unspoken.

In this episode of Women Amplified, host Lisa Bennett and Danielle talk about friendships across life stages, finding time for connection, and having difficult conversations before resentment takes hold. Danielle also shares ways to make new friends and build a circle of support at work and beyond.
