🎙️ 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.

  • Motherhood has taught me to be more forgiving of myself.
  • Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
  • Social media often presents a curated version of reality.

  • Authenticity is more relatable than perfection.
  • Focus on actions, not just consuming content.
  • Everyone has unseen struggles.
  • Be gentle with yourself — you’re doing your best.
