A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode of the Modern MILF Podcast, we explore why “mean girl” behavior — technically known as relational aggression — persists into middle age, what psychology research says about its roots, and how to break the cycle. We talk about real reasons behind these behaviors, how they affect both targets and perpetrators, and offer practical tips for avoiding mean-spirited behavior and responding to it in healthier ways. Whether you’re dealing with workplace cliques, social circle tension, or family drama, this episode gives you the insight and tools to rise above the drama and build more supportive relationships.
