In this week's episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with clinical psychologist and friendship expert Christie Ferrari to unpack the complicated world of adult friendships. They explore why friends can feel so different after childhood, and why we sometimes fight to keep certain people in our lives while letting go of others. Christie introduces the concept of growth flags vs. red flags and helps us identify what healthy, evolving friendships look like versus the ones that may be holding us back. Together, Valeria and Christie dive into questions we all face: What kind of friend am I? Am I a fringe friend? How do I deal with “mean girls” even as an adult? From cultural differences in how friendships form, to tips for approaching conflict, to understanding when it's time to quietly distance yourself, this conversation offers both validation and practical tools for navigating relationships. If you've ever questioned your place in a friend group or wondered how to deepen your connections, this episode is a must-listen.

Actrice en scenarist Anushka Melkonian houdt van Anne Hathaway én Disney Channel-stuff uit de nillies. Toch, wanneer we afspreken om ‘The Princess Diaries' te bespreken, hebben we allebei het gevoel dat we de film nooit eerder hebben gezien. We hebben het over de regisseur die eerder ‘Pretty Woman' maakte, over de katten in de film en over de Julie Andrews-stage op de Disney-lot in Burbank.Anushka getuigt ook over opgroeien met Sovjet-tekenfilms, over afstuderen op ‘Mean Girls', en over haar ADHD-drang om te tekenen tijdens de opname. We linken die creativiteit aan het genie Tim Burton. We ranten over irritante stepkes, over woke in 2001 en het woord teelbalkanker. To be a princess, you have to believe that you are a princess!

I used to stall right at the edge of big goals. I'd get close, then a nasty voice in my head would talk me out of the next step. If you've ever pulled back from a call, a launch, or a brave move because of fear, this one's for you. I break down how your thoughts and feelings drive action, why big dreams trigger self‑sabotage, and how to stop letting that inner Mean Girl or Toxic Bro run the show.You'll learn a simple way to turn panic into progress. First, spot your “freak outs.” Write them down. Then ask the only question that matters: What can I do? When you shift into a helpful, doable next step, anxiety loses power and action gets easy. I share real examples, like reframing “sales calls” into helpful check‑ins, and a reminder that you can't control other people's reactions. You can control your plan, your questions, and your follow‑through.Discover:A fast mental model: thoughts + feelings = actions, and how to use it to move even when you're scared.Why big goals trigger “upper limit” freak outs and simple ways to ride them out.How to map “automatic thoughts,” spot patterns, and cut anxiety by refocusing on control.A practical phone‑call reframe that turns “salesy” into “helpful conversation.”The action rule that changes everything: anxiety and action can't coexist. Pick action.About Rebecca:In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a rule-based religious group, divorced, and lost the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them forgive their past, let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.https://rebeccamountain.ca/ Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Lindsay Lohan's arrest record is overcrowded with charges involving theft, cocaine, and the transportation of narcotics. The one-time Disney queen bee shattered her Mercedes and her good girl reputation with back-to-back DUIs when her career was at its peak. After appearing in court 20 times in the span of five years, Lindsay's acting opportunities downgraded from Mean Girls-level blockbusters to meager microbudget art films, including a career-low role that paid her $100 a day to perform alongside porn stars.

This week on She Rises, we’re getting real about the voice in your head — you know the one. The mean girl. The inner critic. The one who whispers things you’d never say to someone you love.We all have her. But we don’t have to let her run the show.In this episode, we unpack where she comes from, how she’s secretly trying to protect you, and how to shift that self-talk from toxic to tender. From reparenting practices to powerful body-based tools, we’ll show you how to create a relationship with yourself that actually feels safe, kind, and supportive. Because healing the way you speak to yourself is one of the most important things you’ll ever do — and it starts right here.

It's probably the best week we've got for our Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis month, as we dive into two of the biggest hits of their respective careers: True Lies and Mean Girls. For True Lies, James Cameron re-teamed with Arnold Schwarzenegger to direct the first $100 million movie, casting Arnie as a spy leading a double life and Jamie Lee as his wife who gets involved in a dangerous adventure of her own. For Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan broke away from her Disney roots to star in the now iconic high school comedy, co-starring Rachel McAdams as ice queen Regina George. Our hosts dive deep into each movie (and Christian randomly gives the entire plot of a different Lindsay Lohan movie?) as we consider which is the better film overall, and which was more important for each actor's career. What's your favorite Lindsay Lohan or Jamie Lee Curtis movie? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

r/BJJ is basically the Mean Girls of Jiu-Jitsu. It's petty. It's chaotic. It's ruled by digital “mean girls” with four stripes and zero rolls.

Let's see what happens when a friendly black belt infiltrates Jiu-Jitsu's Meanest Community.In this episode, I go toe-to-toe with posts from r/BJJ — some thoughtful, some ridiculous, and some that made me question if the mats are giving people brain damage.

The Real Housewives of Miami's Karent Sierra steps back Behind The Rope.  Karent is here to mention it all regarding the good and bad with RHOM. Karent spills the tea on former cast mates Adriana, Marysol, Lisa  and Alexia who are all still going strong today. She talks highs and lows and reveals where all the “bodies are buried”.

Fiends and familiars, quite trying to make fetch happen. It didn't take in 2004, and it definitely did not take in 2024. That's right, Once More with Feeling continues as we tackle the 2024 adaptation of Mean Girls: The Musical. With Tina Fey still in the mix, we question how far this property has come, or if it should have closed off broadway years ago. Tune in now to hear our reviews and analysis of Mean Girls: The Musical.   

(Airdaate: 8.7.25) Lindsay Lohan wants to trade in teen comedies for a shot at Scorsese—because Mean Girls to Martin is totally a natural jump. Meanwhile, J.Lo's Vegas residency isn't exactly selling like hotcakes, unless those hotcakes are $1,300 a seat and still available. And Jamie Lee Curtis drops a hilariously unfiltered red carpet greeting on Allison Janney that proves even Hollywood legends have no chill—in the best way. Voted 6th Best Entertainment News Podcast!

In this episode, we dive into the arc of the Vain Controller, the shadowy force behind performative success, image obsession, and the illusion of perfection. Known in our Inner Villain deck as Regina George (yes, that Regina George), this archetype reveals the ways we chase validation, status, and admiration—often at the cost of authenticity and trust.We unpack:Why “people pleasing” is just one face of deeper shape-shifting strategies to stay safe and resourced.How the Vain Controller expresses in culture, including its Human Design (undefined heart/ego), Enneagram type (3), and root wound (betrayal).The burn book logic of self-sabotage: When controlling image becomes more important than truth.The connection between this archetype and narcissistic personality traits—and how healing doesn't require shame, but rather, courage to be seen.The deeper spiritual medicine of trust and redefinition of success that liberates the Inventor (the transformed form of this archetype).Why “faking good” might be the most dangerous form of self-abandonment.Plus, two Am I the Asshole case studies that illuminate the painful edge between vanity, betrayal, and the fear of losing power.Key Archetypal Stages Covered:Pinnacle Villain: The Vain Controller – The one who would burn down her own castle if it meant staying on top.Successful Antagonist: The Influencer – Bulletproof facade, all approval, no intimacy.Wounded Child: The Envious – The one who mistakes wealth and appearance for worth.Covert Form: The Compliant – Faking good, performing growth, staying hidden behind praise.Hero: The Unveiled – Naked truth. Willing to lose clout to find connection.Legend: The Inventor – Rebuilding from authentic resources, turning passion into purpose.We also touch on:The time periods and cultural climates that amplify this archetype (hello, 1980s).The trap of ambition without desire.Why so many “successful” people are secretly crumbling from a lack of real trust.And how to recognize when this archetype is showing up in your work, relationships, or self-image.This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they needed to look good while falling apart, or who's ready to be seen for real—not just admired.Referenced in the episode:Mean Girls (film)The Emperor's New Clothes (folktale)Human Design: Undefined Heart/Ego CenterEnneagram Type 3 (The Achiever)“Am I the Asshole?” Reddit postsComing soon: The Inner Villain Transformation Deck launches on Kickstarter later this year.

The pop singer and actress Reneé Rapp has a deep love for her friends. She maintains a nonstop group chat with more than 15 close friends every day. Their lives are so intertwined that the line between platonic and romantic can sometimes get blurry, particularly since many of them have dated each other.Rapp, best known for her role in the Broadway musical and new film adaptation “Mean Girls,” has an upcoming album, “Bite Me,” which delves into the intimacy and messiness of friendships, not just romantic relationships. Mirroring her album's themes, Rapp walks Modern Love host Anna Martin through various vulnerable moments she has recently shared with friends, including one with her best friend and former “The Sex Lives of College Girls” co-star Alyah Chanelle Scott.It's no surprise that Rapp chose to read the Modern Love essay “This is What Happens When Friends Fall in Love” by Sammy Sass. The piece resonates with her own experiences of sustaining love within queer friendships. While Rapp says she doesn't have a blueprint, she has learned to navigate misunderstandings and express genuine love to those closest to her.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncsGI4_L3o Get to know the screenwriter: What is your screenplay about? Bitter is a belated coming of age story for anyone that feels like the paradigm of success has shifted. It takes the traditional geek vs bully high school sub-genre and basically turns it on its ass, focusing on WILLOW, a once-hopeful two-time valedictorian, slated for success. Now, 10 years later, she's a bitter waitress, struggling with resentment and unmet potential, all while PARKER, her high school bully, lives the good life as a prominent influencer. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Bitter is definitely a comedy. When developing this story, it felt necessary to look through a humorous lens. The plot tackles a lot of socially-relevant themes and issues we all deal with on a daily basis: comparison culture, scam-influencers, toxic personalities—things that can absolutely consume a person. So, I thought it was important to craft the story and its characters from a place of comedy. I wanted to avoid the perception of whining or lecturing, and write a story that has something to say, but also has audience wanting to listen because they're getting to laugh along the way. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Movies have changed drastically over the last decade—some changes good, some bad, but I think a gap has been created for some of the sillier, more light-hearted comedies that can still pack a punch—that have something to say, but do it in a way to invites, not divides. I think Bitter recaptures this approach, in line with early-2000's movies like Mean Girls, Bruce Almighty, Miss Congeniality. The themes are there. The lessons are there. But so is the fun.

Then Ezra Chowaiki shares a wild tale from the art world, involving forged masterpieces and the Nazis (maybe); it's a story that needs to be heard.

ETR's "Summer Blockbuster Month" is still going strong, Richies! And God knows Lindsay Lohan's life is the the stuff of a great blockbuster script.

You can see her in the much-anticipated sequel “Freakier Friday,” alongside her old co-star Jamie Lee Curtis.

423. Mean Girls & Mothers-in-Law: HOW TO DEAL  Amanda, Glennon, and Abby talk parenting through kid conflict, why girls are taught to avoid confrontation, and how to raise kids who trust themselves. They dig into the real longing beneath criticism—especially with mothers-in-law—and why getting vulnerable is braver than getting loud.

How do our early stories shape who we become, and what would it look like to embrace healing and grace along the way? In this heartfelt episode of Typology, we welcome Melanie Shankle, an Enneagram 9 with an 8 wing and author of Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma. Melanie opens up about the impact of a turbulent childhood, the people-pleasing patterns that followed, and what it took for her to confront her past with honesty and compassion. Together, we explore how writing her book became a profound path of self-understanding and generational healing. Whether you're reflecting on your own childhood, parenting, or your inner growth as an adult, this honest and hopeful conversation invites you to embrace grace, compassion, and deeper self-awareness. Tune in and discover that healing often begins when we dare to face the stories we thought we had to hide.
