    UMMMM this episode is sooo eye-opening with the amazing Danielle Bayard Jackson, the ultimate friendship guru. I met Danielle when I went to Soul Camp with Jess Connolly a few months ago and I am so so thankful she joined us to spill the tea on what really makes a friendship tick, and trust us, it's not what you think!
