Can Women Really Be Friends at Work? Breaking the Rivalry Mindset

What if the biggest barrier to female leadership isn’t the glass ceiling — but each other?

In this honest and empowering episode of Lead Like a Girl, the hosts dive into the complex dynamics of female rivalry versus camaraderie in the workplace. Through raw personal stories and hard truths, they unpack how a scarcity mindset and unspoken competition between women can hold us all back—and what it looks like when we replace it with support, mentorship, and real connection.

From unexpected support that changed the game to rivalries that revealed deeper insecurities, this conversation is full of practical insights for any woman navigating professional relationships.

Takeaways:
– Female rivalry is real—and often unspoken—but it doesn't have to define us.
– Scarcity mindset fuels unnecessary competition among women.
– Personal stories can help decode the roots of workplace tension.
– Support and mentorship are powerful tools for growth and healing.
– Camaraderie isn’t just nice—it’s necessary for leadership success.
– Confidence, not comparison, is the real competitive edge.
