Mean Girls, Good Girls, and Hyping Women with Erin Gallagher
Episode 272
Thursday, 9 October, 2025
What happens to mean girls when they grow up? Some get better at hiding it. Some run companies. And some of us realize we’ve carried those voices in our own heads.In this episode, I sit down with Erin Gallagher — CEO and founder of Hype Women — who turned one viral post about Jamie Lee Curtis hyping Michelle Yeoh into a global movement. Her new book Hype Women dives head-first into the tangled mess of mean-girl culture, good-girl conditioning, and the patriarchy that benefits from keeping women small.Erin and I get into the psychology of comparison, the lie of “being nice,” and why learning to hype yourself and other women is an act of rebellion. We’re unpacking the unspoken rules that keep ambitious women silent, self-critical, and secretly exhausted. You’ll walk away seeing jealousy, judgment, and competition through a new lens and start rewiring them for good.What You’ll LearnHow Hype Women became a cultural movement (and what Jamie Lee Curtis had to do with it)The difference between mean-girl behavior and “good-girl” conditioningWhy jealousy is often just desire wearing a disguiseHow patriarchy profits from women doubting each otherWhat happens when you stop abandoning yourself to stay likedThe truth about “playing nice” versus being authenticHow to spot internalized misogyny hiding in everyday interactionsThe mindset shift that turns envy into empowermentThis conversation is your permission slip to stop shrinking. Erin’s book Hype Women comes out October 14 anywhere books are sold. Go to hypewomen.com for links, events, and extras.Want to know your Podcast Personality Type?
