When your friends share positive news such as a promotion, an engagement, or a pregnancy, how do you find yourself feeling? Does it make you feel down? Do you end up comparing their lives with your own?

With the festive period in full swing, it can be a time of feeling envious of people gathering and having a good time on social media, but is it OK to be jealous of our friends? And how do we navigate these feelings without them destroying our friendships or ourselves?

Female friendship coach and host of The Friend Forward podcast, Danielle Bayard Jackson, and journalist and author of BFF? The Truth about Female Friendship Claire Cohen joined Woman’s Hour’s Krupa Padhy to discuss how to cope with jealousy within friendship and how it can be harnessed to motivate us.

Listen to the discussion in full on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds - it’s the Woman’s Hour episode from 29 December.
