Saison 7 · Épisode 28

jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 10:32

What actually motivates women to attend a social gathering?

If you plan on hosting a gathering any time over the next few weeks, you'll want to know so that you can decrease the chances of people RSVP'ing "no" (or saying "yes" but onyl to cancel hours before).

In this episode, host and friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson shares fresh data from the new "Hosting and Gathering Among American Women: Trends and Barriers" Survey from the Women's Relational Health Institute.

There were multiple sections of the report, but today we'll focus on the section about attending gatherings, including:

the number one thing women say motivates them to attend a gathering
other factors that make women more likely to say "yes"
three tangible things hosts can do to actually make guests want to show up

The self-worth "blind spot" that’s quietly shaping all your friendships, with Dr. Marisa G. Franco

Saison 7 · Épisode 23

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 25:00

You'd call yourself confident. You have high self-esteem. You show up for your people. So a book about worth? That's for someone else… right? That's exactly what Danielle thought before she cracked open Dr. Marisa G. Franco's new book and realized, ten pages in, that she had no idea how much of her own self-worth work she'd been skipping.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco to talk about her new book Worth, which she calls the prequel to Platonic. They unpack why unworthiness is really an inability to process love, how performing "goodness" in your friendships actually disconnects you from them, what it looks like when two types of high self-esteem show up in the same friend group, and why the goal isn't "I am worthy;” it's something far more radical.

CHAPTERS:

Why unworthiness makes love slip right off you — even when it's right in front of you
The two types of high self-esteem and why one of them makes you a worse friend
How "being good" trains you to abandon yourself in your friendships
Why forcing a compliment on a friend who rejects it isn't actually love
The difference between bending for a friend and feeling personally compromised
Worth isn't "I am worthy" — it's something more radical than that

ABOUT DR. MARISA G. FRANCO

Dr. Marisa G. Franco is a psychologist, professor at the University of Maryland, and bestselling author of . Her new book, , explores how our relationship with our own feelings shapes every relationship we have, and why self-esteem is a skill, not a fixed trait.

How is the "ambition paradox" impacting your friendships? -- A conversation with Dr. Anne Welsh, author or Ambitious Mother

Saison 7 · Épisode 19

How motherhood changes your closest friendships, with Dr. Anne Welsh

You're crushing it at work, you're showing up for your kids, and you're trying… really trying… to also be a good friend. But the pursuit of excelling in all three keeps leaving you depleted and falling short across the board. And that picture of the village you keep seeing everywhere? The tight-knit crew of women who are all magically available and deeply connected? It might be setting you up to discount the support you already have.

In this episode, Danielle sits down with clinical psychologist and executive coach Dr. Anne Welsh, author of the forthcoming book Ambitious Mother, to talk about what happens when ambition, motherhood, and friendship all compete for the same woman's energy. They dig into the difference between healthy and unhealthy striving, why ambition works better as a web than a ladder, what most women get wrong about the village, and how to maintain friendships with child-free women when everyone feels underwater. Dr. Anne also shares what she sees ambitious women ignoring that costs them the most: their own wants.
