It’s been a few weeks since you first noticed a pattern emerge in one of your friendships. You’ve been trying to convince yourself that it’s not a big deal and that it’s not even worth addressing, but over time you’re realising that your silence on the issue is costing you in more ways than one.

In today’s episode of the Friend Forward podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson is discussing conflict avoidance and the ways it might be costing you, and she’ll be sharing four questions that you can ask yourself to identify if this avoidance is becoming an issue you need to address. So if you’ve got a potential conflict that you’ve been avoiding with a friend, and you’re considering whether or not to raise it with her, then this episode is for you.

And, as always, stay tuned to the end for this week’s homework.

The questions I’m sharing with you today are straight out of a chapter of my book, Fighting For Our Friendships, which comes out on May 7th. If you haven’t pre-ordered your copy, you can do so now by clicking here, and claim three pre-order bonuses.
