Hi hi hi!

Coming up on today’s show: “It’s giving mean girl”. We see this kind of comment all the time, on our own socials, and all across the internet. But what does it actually mean? What is ‘mean girl energy’ – what are ‘mean girl vibes’? This language is so evocative, but are we actually using it to call out mean behaviour, or are we using it to just… shut women down?

This episode of Shameless is brought to you by CeraVe’s Blemish Control range – Developed with Dermatologists to help you Clear it Up Like A Derm.

Your hosts are Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald) and Michelle Andrews (@michelleandrews1).
