You’re sitting alone in the living room, phone in hand, mouth hanging open, suspended in total disbelief - you just got off a call with a friend and what started as a seemingly normal conversation took a turn when she surprised you by sharing that you rubbed her the wrong way recently with something you said at a dinner. Despite trying your best to stay composed, you two somehow slipped into an exchange of blame, scorekeeping and defensiveness, and you’re not sure how to recover. If you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation, then this episode of the Friend Forward podcast is for you.

In this episode, our resident friendship expert shares her own experience of a misunderstanding with a friend, and tells of how her and her friend managed to resolve things, swiftly and effectively, in a conversation that kept both of them feeling safe, seen and understanding. In this episode, Danielle shares the four phrases that you can use during your next disagreement with a friend, that will prevent things from going left, real fast.
