Very excited about the return of this pod because there really isn’t anyone else out there sharing the data and fighting for our friendships like Danielle. Nobody asked her to do this and there she has been swimming upstream to give us the info (for free!). I am forever grateful for her leadership

This podcast has been a staple listen of mine since it came out. If you’re looking for guidance with all-things-female-friendship, this is your spot. Danielle has so much to teach! She broaches common and often tricky friendship issues with research, kindness and grace. She offers practical steps that you can actually take day-to-day to establish and deepen friendships in your life. So many tips from her podcast and from her books have been helpful for me in hanging onto meaningful relationships with the women in my life as we age, navigate society, and go through different phases of life. I ESPECIALLY love how Danielle keeps the podcast relevant and real. We are not ignoring or shying away from the important topics here, and as a long-time listener I’m so grateful for that.

Love this podcast so much! Loved her book too!

I loved this podcast but am disappointed by today’s intro after a 2 month break, with Danielle saying that now her podcast is going to be incorporating politics. We get enough political noise elsewhere. And I wish I could take 2 months off work for being upset about the current administration myself. We probably hold the same views politically so that’s not the issue. It’s just sometimes I don’t want to hear about politics and am disappointed that now this podcast is also becoming political. Nothing is sacred anymore and again it bothered me for her to take 2 months off because of being upset at the political world. I am too believe me. But we can’t all take off 2 months of work for it. Good for you I guess.

Thanks for hosting this podcast and I hope you can dissect some girlfriend relationships in pop culture :), would love to hear your hot take on the girls from White Lotus!

I strongly recommend this podcast! I originally found Danielle on TikTok and I’ve loved her work ever since. She gives great insights on female friendships as well as practical ways to form better connections ❤️

Danielle does an amazing job highlighting friendship issues across the lifespan with research & practical advice & guidance. Highly recommend!

This is one of the most helpful and comforting podcasts I’ve ever found. Strongly recommend!

This podcast, as well as Danielle’s book and resources, have totally shifted my perspective on my friendship conflicts with her first-hand experience, thoughtfully curated content and research, and coaching tone. I feel validated and guided, which is helping me to recover from some serious friendship heartache.

I found Danielle pretty recently, and I’ve really been enjoying her podcast. I love her voice, personality, and energy. She’s no fluff, straight to the point. Her wisdom has truly been helpful for me. I’m so thankful to have found this!!!!

Practical but realistic advice, to the point and not overly wordy. This is especially good for people who are looking to improve their friendships. Perfect for when I want something short to listen to during a short drive or getting a task done. I enjoy her perspective and advice. Not sure how this podcast has anything but 5 stars. I would recommend a episode with the Friendship IRL host.

When I found this I originally was just constantly struggling with friendships and just unable to find the words for what I've experienced. The voice this podcast has given me has been crucial. I have friend trauma and it impacts trying to make friends to this day. I don't think I can thank you enough for this and I'll always spread the word about what you do!

Really love this podcast! Has helped me through a lot ❤️

Danielle’s podcast is absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough good things about how useful, insightful, and applicable the information she teaches us is! Danielle does an amazing job providing fact based information as well as anecdotal information. As a woman who prioritized platonic relationships, this podcast has helped me learn how to be a better friend, and be more introspective myself. Danielle, you deserve your flowers! Your authenticity and genuine desire to help us comes across effortlessly. THANK YOU.

I’ve been listening to Danielle for several months now. For one, I love the length of her podcasts. If something is over 15 mins I usually won’t even push play. But I enjoy listening to her with my coffee pretty much every time she has a new podcast. She consistently gets right down to the heart of a matter and brings her A-game (advice game!) I appreciate her style for the simple fact that it’s realistic. A lot of blogs and other videos I’ve watched use a language that the typical person isn’t going to interject into their conversations. These would sound forced and awkward. But Danielle always has a personal cadence to her advice that sounds like something you would actually be able to say to a friend without sounding like you just came from planet therapist. I’m honestly surprised she doesn’t have a national talk show at this point. But I definitely see it in her future. I’m happy to listen to her podcasts in the meantime, though!

Danielle is warm, science backed, insightful and such a delight to listen. She touches on so many dimensions on friendship and everyone who listens will learn something.

Episode 100th just literally reminded me why i love this podcast. I love how she makes me reflect.

Danielle is easy to listen to..She offers wonderful advice as an empath who highly prefers quality over quantity in relationships this advice has helped me be a better friend and manage my own expectations to a healthier level.

Single in my 30s, and friendships are often the most important relationships in my life. Can be frustrating to feel like all emphasis is put on romantic or family relationships, and like friendships require no work or effort at all. Also, you never hear about the nuances and complications in adult (female) friendships, even though it impacts most people on a regular basis. Appreciate shining a light on this important subject!

Thank you Danielle for creating this podcast and all that you do! Last year I realized that I wanted to develop better friendships and I’m so glad that I listened to Episode 14 about 5 things keeping you from deeper friendships! It definitely shed light on things I need to work on! Looking forward to more episodes and I appreciate all the knowledge you share! Thank you!

I found Danielle on social a while back from a viral social post. Didn’t realize she had a podcast until this week and have been binge listening since then. I have not always been the best friend to my girls, and this podcast is great to give practical tips on how to be better and do better. Some of these things aren’t new, but the way Danielle says things is clear, direct, and concise, and practical. There are moments I’ve felt convicted but ultimately inspired to do better. Love it.

No matter what your age this is a great podcast to make the most of your friendships and in effect enhance your life. I’ve had a strong friend group for over 30 years… even the best of friends have changes and bumps along the road. With the road map and regular maintenance tips provided in this podcast, the ride to enduring and healthy friendships is made clear. Kudos to all you millennials creating strong female friendships. They will save your life one day!!

I started listening to this podcast while I was struggling with a friend situation. Soon after, I decided to walk away from the friendship and this podcast truly allowed me to make that decision in a healthy and unbiased way. I 10/10 recommend this show to everyone. Whether you’re looking for friends, leaving a toxic friend or even just want to be a better friend in general, Danielle offers something for everyone.

Thank you for your podcast! I needed this! Since covid and a divorce I have been working on my inner self. I am so thankful to grow and learn from you. Shout out to Chalene Johnson! You are speaking to me over and over again! I want to deepen my relationships and I am learning so much about myself. Thank you!

Not a bad podcast if you can get over the fact that she seems to have slapped certified on her resume because it sounds cool. Insulting to those of us who have gone through extensive programs to actually become certified in something.

This is my go to podcast for my daily walks. Female friendships have been a constant support structure in my life since I grew up in Indiana to now living in Boston. To put it frankly, I couldn’t live without those ladies! Finding someone who gets that women uplifting women is so important, and seeking those female friendships is amazing. Being able to think differently about how to approach friends and to continue to further those relationships from listening to the app has been great. I’ve learned some new tips that are invaluable. Especially as I move to a new state in a few years it gives me some assurance that I can find and build some new female friendships.

Say goodbye to stale and inauthentic relationships. Say hello to opening up to new friendships as well as nurturing your lifelong friendships! Danielle is the go-to in regard to friendship no matter where you are or what you may be struggling with, she covers it all! Not to mention she’s such an amazing narrator that listening in is also relaxing and entertaining.

This podcast (along with the Instagram account and private membership) have really taught me so much about making better friends, making my current friendships better, and being a better friend myself! Highly recommend to anyone who has friends or wants to make friends.

Female friendships are SO important! This is a great resource to learn more.

I love listening to this podcast! I really appreciate people talking about friendship, how challenging it can be as an adult, and how to work on it. The host is relate-able, concise, on-point, and creative. Keep it going!!

I’ve learned so much already from this amazing podcast. It’s concise, fun and clear. Friendships have always been a struggle for me especially as a BW+ semi introvert. Thank you for creating this space and being the friendship mentor I’ve always needed/ wanted

Thank you so much 🙏🏾 I have received a new perspective and insight on friendships which has assisted me in the assessment of individuals I have attempted friendships with. For the sake of my own sanity, I have moved on from those unhealthy friendships and decided not to continue a friendship with them. Now, I have gained wisdom as I diligently pursue new friendships.

Danielle is the friendship guidance you need in your life. I’ve felt lonely in my friendships and have struggled with my self-esteem in relation to friendships. I listened to her episodw on Forever35 and became HOOKED! Thank you thank you thank you for all your wisdom!

I’m so grateful I found this podcast. As a military spouse friendships are hard. You are destined to build relationships for a short time to then try to maintain them when you have to move. Having tools like these and just hearing perspectives helps to ease the anxiety of having to start over every year or two and also helps strengthen the meaningful friendships I have made.

Danielle is a wonderful storyteller & weaves real women’s stories into each episode of her podcast. She also answers all the friendship q’s we’re intimidated to ask but need to heal & move forward with those we care about. A must listen!

If you’re tired of people spending 45min talking about everything and nothing at the same time, this Podcast is going to be that refreshing change you need. Danielle brings you educated, researched, and thought provoking information which will leave you with different ways to think about today’s hot topics pertaining to women.
