#158 - Why Good Girls Gossip: Reclaiming Female Connection in Midlife with Tova Leigh

Have you ever hesitated to open up with other women because you feared judgment, competition, or being labeled as “too much”? If this hits home, I’ve got good news: you are not the problem. In this episode, author and comedian Tova Leigh shares stories from her new book Good Girls Gossip and explains why reclaiming gossip, as deep, truth-sharing connection among women, is revolutionary. We talk about letting go of the “good girl” roles we’ve outgrown and what it means to live more authentically in midlife. Tova introduces her powerful “and also” mindset, which allows space to be both messy and wise, uncomfortable and growing. It’s a simple shift that invites freedom from perfection and black-and-white thinking. This is a conversation about real talk, shared wisdom, and the beauty of being witnessed by women who see you as you really are. Connect with Tova Good Girls Gossip is available now!
