In this episode, Behk and LAH sit down with their friend, Charlie, who found herself in a web of toxic friendships and in a marriage with a woman growing in the opposite direction. Married in their twenties, our protagonist and her spouse began to drift apart as the pressures of maintaining a certain lifestyle mounted. Surrounded by a friend group that could be cast in a real-life "Mean Girls" saga, she struggled to meet her partner’s ever-growing demands, all while never receiving the basic love and affection she so desperately needed.

Join Behk and LAH as they explore the emotional turmoil of trying to please everyone in a world where mean girls reign supreme. They’ll discuss the impact of toxic friendships on romantic relationships and the heartbreaking journey of seeking validation and love from someone who can’t or won’t provide it. This episode sheds light on the difficult balance between external pressures and internal desires, and the painful reality of love lost in a mean girl haze.

Tune in for a raw and relatable discussion that underscores the importance of self-worth and the courage to break free from toxic ties to heal and grow positively.
