I decided to do this episode because too many of us have been hurt by women we thought were our friends. The ones who smile in your face but quietly root against you. It’s time to talk about this toxic dynamic honestly — why it happens, how to spot it, and how to finally let go without guilt.

I’ve seen — and lived — how painful it is when the people you trust turn out not to be true friends - so I am trying to to shed light on the hidden jealousy, competition, and emotional manipulation that often hides behind fake smiles — and to remind every woman that real friendship doesn’t require you to shrink to make others comfortable!!!
