66: How to Build Better Friendships w/ Danielle Bayard Jackson

Tired of feeling anxious about every friendship interaction? In this episode with friendship expert Danielle Jackson, we're breaking down how to actually connect without all the overthinking.

In conversation, we tackle:

* Why that picture-perfect friend group you're chasing might be more about logistics than love

* The uncomfortable truth about why friend groups require secure attachment (and what happens when you don't have it)

* How social media surveillance culture is making us police each other's friendships

* Why "cutting people off" has become our default conflict resolution strategy

* The case for small talk (and why hating it might just be performative depth signaling)

* How reduced friction in modern life is making us friendship weaklings who can't handle disagreement

* Why friendship apps work for meeting people but fail at building actual relationships

* The difference between chemistry, closeness, and intimacy (and why we keep confusing them)

* How to escape conversations without being rude (because we've all been trapped by a rambler)

* Why your friendship anxiety might be about you, not your lack of friends

Danielle Bayard Jackson is a friendship expert and coach, and author of the bestselling book “Fighting for our friendships”.
