Welcome to "Girl Problems" a bi-weekly segment from the Friend Forward podcast, coming to you every other Tuesday.   In today's episode we address a listener’s issue, where she is finding it tough to meet like-minded women and make new friends and is starting to feel a little hopeless about the whole situation.  She enjoys socializing and she’s confident in talking to new people, but she is struggling to find the time and energy to connect with new potential friends and, when she does make the time and the effort, she finds it hard to find like-minded people who are genuinely interested in forming real friendships.    Join us as our resident friendship expert, Danielle Bayard Jackson, sheds some light on this issue, delivers some research-backed validation and offers some tangible advice regarding mindset shifts on how to tackle this issue.    If you have an issue or question you’d like Danielle’s insight on, drop us a DM or a voice note at Instagram at @friendforward or visit us at ⁠Betterfemalefriendships.com ⁠    Click the ‘Follow’ button now to never miss an episode of the Friend Forward Podcast.
