While most of us wouldn't admit it, we have adopted stereotypes about other women that directly impact our friendships. So today, I'm outlining the 5 most common stereotypes about female friendship and explaining where they come from so we can begin to enjoy our relationships with other women without the hang-ups and misconceptions.  After I outline these stereotypes, you'll hear my interview with Kayleen Schaefer, author of the book "Text Me When You Get Home" which is about modern female friendships. Kayleen has interviewed more than 100 women about their friendships and has a lot to say about the stereotypes that keep us apart. After listening to the episode, be sure to read a few of our research-based articles on www.giveitarestmovement.com or follow us on IG @giveitarestmovement. You can also buy Kayleen's book here and my book, Give it a Rest: The Case for Tough-Love Friendships" here.
