195: The Connection Between your Friendships & Finances with Danielle Bayard Jackson
04/22/25 • 40 min
Is money ruining your friendships? Can you even afford your friendships? A 2024 study found that 21% of survey respondents have lost a friendship over money and 26% feel financially incompatible with their friends. Another study published in 2023 found that 36% of American Gen Z and millenniaals have a friend who “drives them to overspending”. Needless to say, your friendships and money are more interconnected than you think.
These questions and more are ones we're diving into on today's podcast episode with the female friendship expert, Danielle Bayard Jackson. Danielle is the author of Fighting For Our Friendships and is the host of the Friendship Forward Podcast which was ranked by the today show as one of the “best podcasts for women”. Danielle's insights have been featured in Oprah Magazine, Psychology Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.
In this epsidoe Danielle and I are discussing:
- how the friendship landscape has changed and why making friends as an adult has become more challenging over the years
- why are female friendships matter and how they can improve our health and finances
- Danielle's 3 step framework to forming new female friendships
