Why does it hurt more when it’s another woman who lets you down?

Some of the most powerful collaborations we experience are with other women—and sometimes, some of the most painful moments are, too.

In this episode, we unpack the complicated reality of women navigating workplace dynamics, ambition, and relationships inside systems that reward proximity to power over loyalty. What happens when your “village” doesn’t show up? When support feels conditional? When collaboration is traded for a seat at the table?

We explore themes of women supporting women, female leadership, mentorship, motherhood, competition, and betrayal—and why these experiences can feel so personal. This is an honest conversation about career growth, emotional intelligence, and the environments we’ve been taught to survive in.

Because a rising tide lifts all boats… but many of us were handed boats already taking on water.

So what would it look like to stop turning on each other—and start helping each other stay afloat?
