For women, is romantic love more valuable than platonic love? And if so, what role does our culture play in influencing the ways that we prioritize these relationships?
Today, on the Friend Forward podcast, we are rebroadcasting an episode that first aired three years ago, because it is one that is so powerful and still so relevant to share around this Galentine’s Day.
In this conversation, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson talks with Dr. Christina Douyon, a psychologist and race & culture researcher who Danielle met when they both attended the University of Florida.
They discuss how we define the role of platonic love, and how this differs to how we define and often prioritize the romantic relationships in our lives, society’s role in this, how this can be damaging for our overall satisfaction in our relationships, whether the term “best friend” is problematic or not, and the difficulties surrounding balancing our roles and responsibilities in different relationships.
And, stay tuned until the end where they share five ways to see if your friendships are growth-fostering relationships. And for this week’s homework, of course.
And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week’s homework.
