About Womenemies: Set Your Inner Enemy Free With Love
Who is your biggest enemy? Yourself. Inspired from the Womenemies book series by Marilena Fallaris, the podcast focuses on ways to identify our inner enemies, as well as ways we are enemies to other women, and how to set them free with love. No subject in life is off limit.
In this podcast I will be interviewing people in English and Greek. Women who have changed their lives, who are in the process of changing their lives, and what that meant for them. I will be interviewing men who have supported their female family members, friends and co-workers and their realizations along the way.
Why Are Women So Hard on Other Women? | Workplace Rivalry, Mom Judgment & Breaking the Cycle
Why are women sometimes so hard on other women?
Why do we sometimes view other women as competition instead of celebrating their success? And why are mothers so quick to judge one another when we're all navigating our own challenges?
In this solo episode of Womenemies, Marilena Fallaris explores how women can become one another's biggest critics in the workplace and in motherhood—and what we can do to change that.
Drawing from her experiences as an attorney, corporate professional, and mother, Marilena shares personal stories of workplace rivalry, female leadership, professional sabotage, and the emotional toll of feeling unsupported by other women.
She also discusses the judgment mothers face, the unrealistic expectations created by social media, and why every mother deserves a safe space where she feels seen, heard, and supported.
But this conversation isn't just about what other women have done to us. It's about taking accountability for our own behavior, setting boundaries without becoming unkind, and recognizing that another woman's success doesn't diminish our own.
Because supporting other women doesn't mean we have to be friends with everyone. It means choosing not to become someone else's obstacle.
It's time to break the cycle of women being enemies to one another and create a culture where we genuinely lift each other up.

Stop Pushing Through the Pain: Are You Listening to Your Body?
When did we learn to ignore what our bodies are telling us?
We're tired, but we push through. We're hungry, but we finish one more task. We're overwhelmed, but we tell ourselves to keep going. We need rest, but somehow resting makes us feel guilty.
Why?
In this episode of the Womenemies Podcast, Marilena shares how a recent surgery reminded her of something she thought she'd already learned: listening to her body and prioritizing her health.
From childhood expectations of being the "good girl" to motherhood, careers, and the pressure to do it all, so many women have learned to put everyone else's needs before their own.
But at what cost?
We explore why women normalize exhaustion and discomfort, how constantly pushing through can affect our well-being, and why taking care of ourselves isn't something we should squeeze in only when everything else is done.
And there's another important reason to break this cycle: Our children are watching.
When we continually sacrifice our own health, what are we teaching them about their needs and the needs of others?
This episode is a reminder that your health isn't another item at the bottom of your to-do list.
Your health deserves to be a priority. Treat it like a job.
🎙️ Listen and tell me: What discomfort, exhaustion, or personal need have you learned to ignore or push through?

The Mental Load: Making the Invisible Visible
What happens when your body finally stops, but your brain doesn’t?
In this episode of the Womenemies Podcast, Marilena talks about the invisible mental load so many mothers carry every day: the schedules, meals, school forms, activities, laundry, appointments, emotional check-ins, planning, worrying, anticipating, and the endless mental to-do list that often follows us right into bed.
Sometimes we wonder why we’re exhausted when we feel like we “didn’t do that much.” But our brains may have been running a marathon all day.
This episode isn’t about giving you another list of things you need to fix. It’s about acknowledging what you’re already carrying.
Because before we can delegate it, redistribute it, or change it, we have to make the invisible visible.
If you've ever felt overwhelmed by “one more thing,” struggled to switch your brain off at night, or returned from a family vacation feeling like you simply moved your work to another location, this episode is for you.
You’re doing more than you think.
I see you. And it’s okay to say: this is hard.
🎧 Listen, share with another woman who needs to hear this, and tell me: What part of your mental load do you wish was acknowledged more?
