This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil From Mean Girls to Hype Women with Erin Gallagher | 353
We’re done with performative “women supporting women” while the DMs and side-eyes tell a different story. This conversation gets real about ditching scarcity, gossip, and grown-ass mean girl behavior and replacing it with unapologetic ampleship—front-row friends who say your name in rooms you’re not in, transfer social capital, and clap loud enough for the world to hear.
Our guest, Erin Gallagher—the unapologetic powerhouse behind the Hype Women movement—is on a mission to end Mean Girl culture and build a global sisterhood of women who celebrate, amplify, and rise together. She’s the CEO & Founder of Hype Women, author of Hype Women: Breaking Free from Mean Girls, Patriarchy and Systems Silencing You, and host of the Hype Women podcast. Erin’s work is part social justice, part straight talk, and 100% revolution. She’s here to remind us that supporting other women isn’t a brand strategy—it’s a power move.
We dig into:
-
The difference between “support” and performative support (and how to spot the fake hype)
-
How to do an honest audit of your circle—and yourself—to see where Mean Girl energy might still be lurking. Why women are conditioned to compete and how to rewrite that programming
-
How to use your human, social, political, and financial capital to amplify other women (and yourself)
-
What to do when you’re faced with a grown-ass Mean Girl at work or online
-
Why real confidence starts with self-trust, boundaries, and giving up the illusion of “doing it all alone”
-
The internal work that makes external hype possible—because we can’t celebrate others if we’re still betraying ourselves
This one’s part pep talk, part wake-up call, and full-on invitation to step into your front-row era.
