In this solo episode, I open up about how I grew The Ladies Community to 140,000+ women internationally, the challenges that came with it, and the surprising lessons I’ve learned along the way. I share my perspective on feminism (and why I don’t consider myself a feminist), my struggles with female friendships and “girl code,” and the ways women might actually be holding ourselves back. Plus, I dive into my experience with online hate, cancel culture, and what it really means to stand in your truth. This one is raw, real, and might ruffle some feathers—let’s get into it.
