🎙️ Show Notes – It Girl Life, Season 3 Episode 2: “The Dark Side of Being the "That Girl”

In this episode, Meredith and Mishelle dive into the hidden weight of perfectionism — especially for women balancing motherhood, careers, and social expectations. Together, they unpack how social media amplifies the “always put-together” illusion and how that impacts self-worth and confidence.

Through honest conversation and real-life reflection, they explore what it means to let go of the need to have it all together, and instead, focus on authenticity, growth, and giving ourselves grace.
