The Girls Girl Myth

Send us Fan Mail“Women support women” is one of those lines that sounds great on a mug and falls apart the second somebody levels up. We start with the uncomfortable question: is the “girl’s girl” thing real, or do people only support you when you stay small, miserable, or safely behind them?We talk through the full spectrum of female friendship, from teenage mean girl culture to adult frenemies who smile to your face and compete in silence. We get into what changes when you look more confident, when you start making more money, and when success becomes visible in the workplace. You’ll hear our take on pretty privilege, mentorship that’s preached but not practiced, and why “women empowering women” can sometimes be more branding than behavior.Then we go deeper on jealousy and competition, especially in the age of social media comparison. We break down how algorithms feed insecurity, why rage bait makes money, and how to use jealousy as data instead of letting it run your life. We also share real-world boundaries around relationships, including the homewrecker dynamic and what it looks like when a partner shuts it down the right way.If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re being “too sensitive” or you’re simply noticing patterns, you’ll leave with clearer language, sharper boundaries, and a better standard than labels: be a person’s person and let actions prove loyalty.
