From Joan to Maya: What Girlfriends Taught Us

About Surviving Adulthood

Summary: The early 2000s hit Girlfriends wasn’t just TV—it was an adulting guide! 📖 From Joan’s overthinking 🤯 to Maya’s hustle 💼, Toni’s confidence 💅🏾, and Lynn’s free spirit 🌿, each character showed us real-life lessons on careers, friendships, and self-discovery. Adulthood is messy, but Girlfriends reminded us we don’t have to figure it out alone. 💕
