It’s the lifecycle of many friendships. Sometimes they ebb and flow and other times they come to a crushing end. And just like in romantic relationships it’s hard to be on either side of the “we need to talk” table. Friendship expert and coach Danielle Bayard Jackson seems to have all the right words for every scenario, including the testy times. Just make sure, she says, you’re not severing ties prematurely. Having that talk might not only save the relationship, but bring you closer. Danielle also gets into the fundamentals of friendship, managing expectations, and moving on after a breakup. //
