Fun fact: Danielle filmed this video while 8 months pregnant! She's not taking one-on-one coaching clients until February 2022 while she enjoys maternity leave, BUT there are three ways you can still get the support you need in your friendships:

I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. Your content is amazing. God bless you.
People often undervalue friendships and focus more on romantic relationships.
I appreciate you so much!
Interesting perspective that also works out for men's relationships.
I'm a curious French father, and as soon as I read the title of your video, I said to myself, I have to watch this video.
And I was right, your explanation is so fascinating.
Thank you so much for that and please keep going.
Take care.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to watch the video. It is an HONOR to hear that it's helpful to your life. I'm glad you're here.
I had a best friend and we broke up earlier this year. While we n had a really good relationship I think we got over dependent on each other and our relationship got toxic.
Right now I'm in contact with a friend group and i actually think this dynamic may be more suited for me. That way we don't have to limit ourselves to certain things only our one best friend is into. You get to experience more hobbies and topics to talk about.
I also really agree about the expectations part and stuff
Thank you for sharing your experience! "Best friendships" can certainly become codependent, so it's great that you recognized that and began looking for healthier connections. Keep us posted on how you're enjoying your new group dynamic!
I love this concept and content!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this ! Ive really been bothered by this issue & your video really helped.
I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for watching.
I am someone that decided to start a fresh with friends....my old friends i have decided to let go of that.....
Thank you so much for this new and fresh perspective for myself ❤
Thank you for this content,
Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos! That means a lot to me.
Thanks for this. I was wondering about this only yesterday and longing for content to cover this.
It's always nice when the content hits at the time we need it most. So glad you're here.
I have to say I relate to this on both sides. I've been able to make a great friendship with another women during my freshmen year of college. During the start of our friendship, I felt a lot more connected like that of a best friend, but I noticed as time went on, we both started to grow or maybe I should say she started to really evolve. We started getting involved in different clubs and activities and we don't see each other as much anymore, and sometimes I feel like I've lost that feeling of us being best friends. I think much of this stems from, as you said, the expectations I've put on this person and my mindset of assuming that everything I need in a friendship has to come from one person. This year, I want to aim at being more social and open to getting different aspects of a 'best friend' from a collective as you mentioned, and see how that shifts my feelings towards the friendship.
I also wanted to ask if you could do a video or give feedback on how to navigate male friendships? Growing up, I've always been around males, and I find myself more inclined to seek out male friendships. However, there have been times in my past that upon making these friendships, I ultimately started catching feelings for another person. How do I avoid this and what kinds of boundaries should be put in place and how does that compare to female friendships?
Anyways, thank you for the great video!
I always think it's special when people can relate to both sides because it helps us develop both compassion and perspective in these situations, which puts us at an advantage for working things out!
I have recently found your channel. Its really helpful. I am in my early 30s and struggling to make friends. I moved to a new city after marriage since I don't have a friend. I had a friend in office but she lives too far so no coffee dates kind of thing. I really want friends who can oeon up new world to me. Let me know some tips
We experience a "friendship dip" in our 30s, according to the research, so if you're finding it especially challenging please know you're not alone! I'm so glad you're here.
Do u find it did I prefer female friends from a distance it’s due to bad ones always falln out since high school meaning I’ll accept coworkers but not hang out every weekn maybe once a month but with a man I can want him round more to relax with😊 I’ve always had more males who liked to b around me plus I’m mmm introvert sometimes come across as stuck up
