We Need Help Podcast: “Being the Bad Guy”
In this episode, Lizzy and Iza dive into the uncomfortable but empowering topic of being okay with being the bad guy. From tough conversations to boundary-setting, they explore why women often struggle with being disliked and how embracing your “villain era” can actually be a form of growth. 💥
They share stories from their own lives and friends — including power moves, people-pleasing dilemmas, and moments when being “the bad guy” was absolutely necessary. If you’ve ever felt guilty for speaking up or worried about how you’re perceived, this episode is for you.
It’s not about being mean — it’s about being real.
Topics Covered:
•Why women are conditioned to avoid being disliked
•The emotional cost of people-pleasing

Challenge of the Week:
Be the bad guy once. Say “no” without guilt. Set a boundary. Don’t explain yourself. Just try it.
Because being the bad guy isn’t mean — it’s honest.
