Competition in female friendships is rarely talked about—but many of us have felt it. The quiet comparison, subtle jealousy, and the sense that we’re in a race we never agreed to run.

In this episode, I open up a grace-filled conversation about where competition in friendship comes from, how it shows up, and why it undermines safety and belonging. We’ll explore how to name jealousy without shame, release comparison, and move toward friendships marked by honesty, celebration, and secure identity.

Because healthy friendship doesn’t grow from rivalry—it grows from wholeness.

At the end, we'll have a series of journal prompts for you to dig a bit deeper in your own life and move to a place of greater healing, wholeness, and confidence.
