5 Signs Your Friendship Is Toxic w/ Jordyn & Alex (Mean Girl Podcast)

Hey Besties! Let’s welcome Alex Bennett and Jordyn Woodruff, the duo behind the Mean Girl podcast. In the show, these two come together for honest conversations about sex, friendship, mental health, and living in the big city as outsiders.

Violetta, Alex, and Jordyn didn’t hold back as they talked about what makes friendships last, setting boundaries (because, hello, we need space!), and why growing apart might just mean you're growing up. Ever wonder how to navigate friendships when life stages change or how to detox from toxic pals? We've got you covered! Plus, get the scoop on making friends in your fabulous late 20s. Because, let's face it, friends are the family we choose, and it's never too late to add to your tribe!
