Research finds that on the other side of healthy conflict, people report feeling closer to one another. But what happens when we don't actually have the skills to navigate hard conversations?
Domenique Harrison offers therapy at the intersection of race and relationships, and in this episode, she shares some of the key skills necessary to walk through difficult interactions with people we care about (whether or not racialized issues are at the heart of the conversation).

In this episode, host and friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson discusses the idea that being a good friend to some might mean being a bad friend to others. She explores four points to consider when choosing which friendships to prioritize: being a good friend is relative, time is a limited resource, only 50% of friendships are reciprocal, and some people may be displeased with your choices. She encourages listeners to take inventory of their friendships and consider concentrating their efforts on their top three to five friends.
Keywords
friendships, good friend, bad friend, overwhelm, prioritize, time management, reciprocal friendships

As a single woman who is actively dating, it can be tough to get adequate support from your friends. Sometimes they mean well, but the things they say and do can feel dismissive or insulting, and that can begin to create a certain emotional distance that's hard to recover from.
That's where dating expert Lily Womble comes in. In Lily's new book "Thank You, More Please", she breaks down how women can get more adequate support from their friends along their dating journey.
As always, the unedited version of this interview can be found in our private community, The Group Chat.
