Have you ever had a birthday approaching and, instead of feelings of excitement, you start to feel a sense of apprehension at the prospect of potentially being let down by your friends who, for the last few years, haven’t quite showed up for you in the way you’d hoped?

Birthdays can be a pivotal point in female friendships and, if not managed correctly, can leave you feeling disappointed, let down, and resentful.

In this episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson breaks down some reasons why birthdays can feel like a tense time when it comes to friendships, and offers some advice on how you can minimise any sense of disappointment that you may feel around this time.

And as always, stay tuned for this week’s homework, to help you on your way to better female friendships.
