Episode #74 - Bullies and Backstabbing: When Sisterhood Gets Broken

In this deeply personal episode of The Witch’s Way Podcast, Jayme shares her lifelong experience with girl-on-girl bullying — from middle school intimidation to manipulative adult friendships that blurred the line between loyalty and control.

What began as locker vandalism and public humiliation evolved into something more subtle in adulthood: manipulation, emotional pressure, and toxic female dynamics that made trusting women feel impossible.

Jayme opens up about how early bullying shaped her survival pattern — shrinking to stay safe, withdrawing emotionally, and choosing isolation over connection. She shares the painful lessons learned from a decade-long friendship rooted in manipulation, as well as the internalized shame that led her to hide parts of herself — including her body and her voice.

But this episode isn’t just about wounds.

It’s about the shift from hiding to expressing. From shielding to filtering. From isolation to authentic sisterhood.

Through vulnerability, spiritual community, and radical self-acceptance, Jayme reflects on what it means to finally live without caring what others think — and why true happiness comes from refusing to shrink.

If you’ve ever felt unsafe being seen, struggled to trust women, or built walls that later became lonely prisons — this episode is for you.
