Why We’re Basically Thelma & Louise | Ride-or-Die Female Friendships

At some point in every strong female friendship, there’s a moment where you realize:

“If society collapses… this is the woman I’m getting in the car with.”


In this hilarious, nostalgic, and unexpectedly emotional episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie explain why their friendship has serious Thelma & Louise energy — minus the driving off the cliff part.

From ditching school and surviving questionable 80s adventures to navigating adulthood, burnout, motherhood, responsibility, and emotional exhaustion, they unpack why ride-or-die female friendships become so important as women get older.

They talk about:

  • Why women need female friendships to survive emotionally
  • The difference between “fun friends” and true ride-or-die friendships
  • How women lose themselves in responsibility
  • Why girls' trips feel emotionally healing
  • The chaos, freedom, and loyalty behind lifelong friendships
  • Why women need spaces where they can stop performing and just be themselves


Jennifer and Jackie also share some completely unhinged stories from their younger years involving spinning cars, trunks, mountain roads, and the kind of questionable decisions that somehow only make friendships stronger.

Because sometimes the greatest love story in a woman’s life isn’t romantic at all…
it’s the friend who looked at your chaos and said:

“Get in. I’ve got you.”
