Mean Girls, Real Pain: Why Girls Hurt Each Other and How We Can Change the Story
Why do girls, who know the sting of exclusion, still turn that pain on each other?
In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt unpack the psychology and culture behind “mean girl” behavior. From silent treatments to side-eyes, we explore why relational aggression feels so personal, how it impacts self-worth, and what it takes to create real belonging.
We’ll connect neuroscience, social research, and lived experience to expose the hidden curriculum teaching girls competition over connection, and how we can rewrite it. Because belonging shouldn’t feel like a privilege.
