Danielle Bayard Jackson & Les of Balanced Black Girl Podcast in Dialogue, "Fighting for Our Friendships."

About the Book: 

Why are women's friendships so deep yet so fragile? Friendship coach and educator Danielle Bayard Jackson unpacks the latest research about women's cooperation and communication, while sharing practical strategies to preserve and strengthen these relationships.

Fighting for Our Friendships is one part textbook, one part handbook. Readers will not only learn what the latest research has to say about the mechanics of women's friendships, but they'll walk away with real-life solutions for the most common conflicts that arise in their platonic relationships.   Using a combination of psychology, science, narrative, and a few of the author's signature scripts and out-of-the-box exercises, readers will learn:

• The three "affinities" that bring women together (and tear them apart)

• Scripts to navigate nine of the most challenging "friend types" (and how to know which one you are)

• The covert strategies women use to hurt each other (and how to avoid them)
