S3 E5: Mean Girls are SO 2004

S3 E5: Mean Girls are SO 2004

After talking about Britney Spears I got to thinking about the bullying she endured and realized mean girls have always been all around us!

This sparked the discussion about mean girls, why they exist and how to change it. I even shared a story from my mean girl days.

Lets uplift instead of hate ladies! We are so much better than that. After all... Mean Girls are SO 2004.
