Why Are Friendships After Becoming a Mom So Hard To Make and Maintain?
Manage episode 412969141 series 2686793
Have you felt yourself drift from your friends pre-motherhood? Or have you found making new and meaningful friendships hard after becoming a mom? I welcome Danielle Bayard Jackson, a relational health educator who has made a career out of studying what the research has to say about creating quality platonic relationships. She also has a new book coming out called, Fighting for Our Friendships: The Science and Art of Conflict and Connection in Women's Relationships.
She joins me to discuss:
- The three reasons why friendships after motherhood are so hard to make and maintain
- Why having meaningful and strong female connections is important for our mental health
- How to handle “passive” friendships
- Practical ways to find meaningful connections with peers amidst the mental load and business of our lives
