Unwineding

are you the friend you wish you had? ft. Elyse Fox


Listen Later

Female friendship can shape how we see ourselves, how supported we feel, and how we move through hard seasons of life. In this episode, I’m joined by Elyse Fox, founder of Sad Girls Club, to talk about the role friendship plays in our mental health, identity, and sense of belonging. 

We talk about why female friendship can feel so meaningful—but also why it can feel complicated as we grow, change, and redefine what success looks like for ourselves. Elyse shares the inspiration behind Sad Girls Club, how creating community helped her feel less alone, and why having the right support system can make such a difference when life feels overwhelming.

We also discuss the pressure to “have it all,” how our definition of success evolves over time, and why being sensitive, ambitious, and still figuring things out can all exist at the same time.

I truly didn’t want this conversation to end—Elyse feels like the best friend and safe space we all want and need (once you listen, you’ll see what I mean). I hope our conversation reminds you that you don’t have to do life alone, and that the right friendships can help you feel more grounded, understood, and supported (and that struggling with your mental health doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human). 

You’ll hear us chat about:

  • the power of female friendship
  • why community matters for mental health
  • feeling understood by the right people
  • redefining success on your own terms
  • navigating the pressure to have it all figured out
  • why ambition & emotional depth can coexist
  • compartmentalizing friendships
  • supporting a loved one through mental health struggles
  • navigating friendship breakups
  • how meaningful friendships help us grow
  • And so much more. As always, take whatever resonates and leave the rest. LOVE YOU. x
