Stop Saving Your Life for Saturday: How To Maximize Your Weekdays

Tue, 12 May 2026 09:00:24 +0000

This week, we’re talking about why so many of us spend Monday through Friday just trying to survive until the weekend, only to cram errands, friendships, rest, hobbies, and actual living into two short days. We discuss how work culture has normalized giving our jobs the best hours of our lives, why adulthood can start to feel repetitive and emotionally draining, and the small ways we can reclaim our time during the week. From spending more intentional time with friends to building routines that make weekdays feel meaningful again, this episode is about creating a life you don’t constantly need a weekend escape from.

The Performance of Being a “Good Person”: Who Gets Canceled and Why

Tue, 05 May 2026 09:00:33 +0000

Why does it feel like the rules of being a “good person” keep changing, and who decides them? This week, we unpack how people are being judged not just for what they do, but for what they might think or intend.

From Zendaya’s latest film 'The Drama,' to the “Scamanda” on Summer House, plus headlines involving Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion, we break down how quickly narratives form online and how we form our own opinions instead of running on herd mentality

Ciara Miller, Amanda Batula & Why Male-Centered Girls Ruin Everything

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:00:10 +0000

A few weeks after our first deep dive, the Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller drama has only gotten messier, so we're bringing you PART 2!

In this episode, we unpack the fallout, shifting fan reactions, and our reactions to the leaked audio from the Bravo reunion that added even more fuel to the fire. From friendship betrayal and girl code to the way male validation still manages to derail female solidarity, we discuss why this storyline has struck such a nerve with women watching Summer House. Plus, what the internet gets right, what it gets wrong, and why everyone seems personally invested in the downfall of a girl’s girl.

Zoey Greco: Using Numerology to Build a More Fulfilling Life

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:00:21 +0000

In this episode, we’re joined by numerologist Zoey Greco to break down what numerology actually is and why so many people swear by it. We get into life path numbers, what they reveal about your personality and patterns, and how you can use them as a tool for clarity rather than something to blindly follow. Zoey explains how numerology can highlight the cycles you keep finding yourself in, especially in relationships, career, and personal growth. Whether you’re skeptical or already deep into it, this is a grounded conversation about using numerology as a framework to better understand yourself and the choices you make.

Childfree, Carefree, and Tired of the Double Standard: Why Women Do More and Get Less

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:00:52 +0000

In this episode, we’re giving single friends the appreciation they deserve and unpacking the very real (and very judged) decision to not have kids. We get honest about what being childfree actually means, the pressure women face to follow a traditional timeline, and why opting out can feel both liberating and controversial. Then we pivot to Coachella, where the double standard was on full display. From Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G delivering full-scale performances to Justin Bieber doing… considerably less, we break down why women are still expected to overdeliver while men get praised for simply showing up.

Amanda Batula + West Wilson Drama: The Social Crime of Not Being A Girl's Girl

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:00:13 +0000

In today's episode, we are diving deep into the "Summer House" drama surrounding Amanda Batula, West Wilson, Ciara Miller, and Kyle Cooke. We're breaking down the entire timeline, the public reaction, what it truly means to be a "girls girl," the public punishment one faces when you are simply not a loyal friend, and why the woman always faces social execution but we never punish the men.

Men Are Not Okay: DadTok, Manosphere, & Looksmaxxing

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 09:00:14 +0000

This week, we’re connecting the dots between the toxic husbands on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the chaotic men of Summer House, and the rise of the manosphere. What starts as reality TV drama quickly turns into something bigger as we unpack control, ego, and the way these behaviors keep showing up across relationships and online spaces. Why do these men all feel like the same person in different settings, and why does it keep getting normalized?

Our Unpopular Taylor Frankie Paul Opinion: Pop Culture Survival Guide

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:00:17 +0000

In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down a truly chaotic mix of pop culture, from the biggest moments at the Oscars to the internet spiraling over The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the sudden cancellation of Taylor Frankie Paul’s 'Bachelorette' season. We get into what’s actually going on behind the headlines, including Dakota’s decision to leak a video right as Taylor’s career was about to take off, and why the timing feels… intentional. While we’re not excusing everything, we question the narrative being pushed online and whether Taylor is being unfairly villainized. Plus, we touch on the state of reality TV, public image, and how fast the internet turns on women when the story gets messy. Emily also goes on an unhinged rant about Gen-Z's desire to act like their middle age when they should be at the club!

Stop Trying to Be CBK: Style Trends We’re Officially Over

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:00:22 +0000

Consider this our official intervention: not everyone can be CBK, but no one else can be you. In this episode, we’re unpacking the internet’s obsession with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the pressure to replicate her effortlessly chic, “quiet luxury” aesthetic. The problem? Not everyone can be CBK and that's okay, we'd prefer it! We talk about how personal style has turned into copy/paste trends, why individuality in fashion feels like it’s disappearing, and the strange things people are suddenly wearing in public (yes, we’re looking at you girly who wears under eye patches to pilates). Along the way, we rant about the trends we’re officially over and why embracing your own taste will always look better than trying to cosplay someone else’s life.

Biohacking Your Body: When The Wellness Industry Goes Too Far

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:00:03 +0000

The wellness industry used to be about feeling good. Now it’s about optimizing everything. From protein-packed coffee and injectable peptides to full-body MRI scans and endless diagnostic testing, the biohacking era is here and suddenly everyone is trying to upgrade their body like it’s a piece of software. This week we’re unpacking how wellness culture spiraled into biohacking, extreme health trends, and rising health anxiety, and why the pursuit of “perfect health” is starting to feel more stressful than healthy.

How to Rewire Your Brain: The 5 Seconds Between You and a Different Life

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 10:00:59 +0000

This week we’re breaking down the viral self-help phenomenon known as the 5 Second Rule, created by Mel Robbins, and asking whether counting down from five can actually change your life or just make you feel like you’re constantly bossing yourself around. We talk about what the rule is, why it’s so popular, whether it actually works in real life (especially for procrastination, anxiety, and motivation), and the fine line between discipline and self-pressure. Is it empowering? Is it productivity theater? Or is it just a surprisingly effective mental trick?

We also discuss the finale of Traitors and how we feel about the winner, Connor Storie hosting Saturday Night Live, Emily getting back into the dating game, and our acupuncture journey!

Aging Is Not a Scandal: Why Pop Culture Sets Unrealistic Standards on Female Celebs

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 10:00:35 +0000

This week we’re unpacking the bizarre online conspiracy that Selena Gomez has been “cloned,” and why the theory says more about the internet than it does about her. We talk about the deeply rooted misogyny behind the panic whenever a woman’s face changes, the fear of watching women age in real time, and the impossible standard that women must stay frozen, flawless, and familiar forever. At what point did natural evolution become suspicious? Plus, we talk about the only man we currently don't hate: Bad Bunny, Hannah shares why she’s officially pressing pause on house hunting and thinking about building instead, and Emily tells the story of her unexpected run-in with Glen Powell.

Romance Needs a Rebrand: Anti-Valentine’s Day, Dating Burnout & the Male Loneliness Debate

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 10:00:12 +0000

This week we’re ditching the roses and leaning fully into Anti-Valentine’s Day with a spicy conversation inspired by Emily's recent Substack essay: unpacking the cultural obsession with the “male loneliness epidemic” and asking whether men actually aren’t lonely enough to change their behavior. We talk dating burnout, emotional labor, shifting expectations in modern relationships, and why so many women are opting out of traditional romance altogether. From internet discourse to real-life dating stories, we break down who’s being asked to grow, who gets sympathy, and how Valentine’s Day became less about love and more about accountability, boundaries, and rewriting the rules of connection.Ultimately... February is for the gals!

Managing the Group Chat: Ashley Tisdale’s Toxic Mom Group, the Beckham Family Drama, and Navigating Power Dynamics

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 10:00:34 +0000

This week we’re unpacking what it really means to manage relationships as an adult because apparently no one warned us it would feel like a full-time job. We break down the Ashley Tisdale “toxic mom group” drama and how navigating friendships at different life stages can quietly shift power dynamics, expectations, and resentment. From there, we dive into the Brooklyn Beckham family drama and talk about the complicated process of becoming your own person outside of your family (especially when love and control start to blur). It’s an honest conversation about boundaries, independence, and learning when to adjust relationships instead of abandoning them altogether.

Kiss All the Time, Lose Our Minds Occasionally: Pop Cultural Survival Guide

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 10:00:16 +0000

This week’s episode is a full pop culture catch-up, bouncing from awards season chaos to celebrity soft launches and New Year reality checks. We break down the Grammy nomination picks, Oscar noms, and why Sinners deserves Best Picture (no notes), plus unpack the absolute audacity of Wicked getting shut out. We spiral over Harry Styles’ rumored new album (Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally), what his next tour could look like, and why it already has us emotionally budgeting. Speaking of budgeting, we also get real about saving money in the new year — while watching Timothée Chalamet finally make his love for Kylie Jenner public. Culture is moving fast, our opinions are strong, and yes, we’re talking about all of it.

Lengths We Go To For Friendships: Why Are We Stricter with Friends Than Boyfriends?

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:00:56 +0000

This week, we dive into the chaos of modern loyalty—where saying you’d stay friends with someone even if they cheated is suddenly a hot take worthy of internet judgment. We talk about why female friendships often carry stricter moral rules than romantic relationships, and how we’ll forgive a boy who texts three other girls before we’ll forgive a bestie for one wrong move. From ride-or-die devotion to “one strike and you’re out” social expectations, we untangle the contradictions in how we treat the people who love us most, what loyalty actually means, and why women are expected to be both saints and therapists in every relationship we touch.

It's The End of Beginning: Year of the Horse, Manifesting 2026 & Stranger Things

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 10:00:03 +0000

This week we are officially in transition mode as we say goodbye to the Year of the Snake and step into the Year of the Horse, aka leaving behind quiet lessons and sprinting toward main character energy. We reflect on what 2025 taught us, what habits and mindsets we are shedding, and what we actually want to bring into 2026 without jinxing ourselves. Plus, we recap the Stranger Things finale, process our emotions, and try to figure out how a show that raised us emotionally is suddenly… over. Equal parts reflective, chaotic, and deeply unserious.

You Can’t Run Away From Yourself: Reality TV and the Illusion of Escape

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 10:00:52 +0000

This week starts exactly how all serious conversations should: with reality TV. We get into The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, pivot to the new movie Hamnet, and somehow end up having an existential conversation about mental health, avoidance, and the uncomfortable truth that you can’t actually run away from yourself.

We talk about why people cling to structure, relationships, and fantasy as a form of escape — and what happens when you realize you’re stuck with your own thoughts for the rest of your life. A classic case of best friends chatting about pop culture and accidentally unpacking the human condition.

Battling Seasonal Depression, Vecna, and The Wizard of Oz: Pop Culture Survival Guide

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 10:00:46 +0000

This week, we’re reuniting over Thanksgiving and immediately diving into our shared love language: watching Wicked For Good with each other like the true Galinda and Elphaba we are! We also break down everything we’re manifesting, fearing, and theorizing for Stranger Things Season 5. Also, since it wouldn’t be the holidays without a little emotional whiplash, we get real about seasonal depression, how it creeps in this time of year, and the tiny rituals that actually help us stay grounded. Cozy chaos, delusion, and comfort food–coded healing all in one episode.

It’s Not a Setback, It’s a Redirect: Reframing the Story We're Telling Ourselves

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 10:00:35 +0000

This week’s episode is basically Thanksgiving in podcast form: chaotic, cozy, a little unhinged, and fueled by holiday-level delusion. We spiral through our Thanksgiving plans, why the night before the holiday should count as a national drinking event, and what we’re actually thankful for this year.

We’re talking all things mindset, reframes, and delusional confidence, because Keke Palmer said to stop acting like life is happening to us and start remembering life is happening from us. We’re choosing new narratives, even if they sound a little unhinged. We talk about reframing our thinking, choosing the “my life is protecting me” narrative, and remembering that life is coming from us, not at us. It’s gratitude season, but make it tipsy, dramatic, and spiritually aligned.

We Support Women's Wrongs: Why Women Should Start Being More Evil

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:00:15 +0000

This week, we make the case for women entering their Evil Era. Like—stop being graceful, stop being understanding, stop being “the bigger person.” Lily Allen basically wrote the soundtrack to “actually I will cause problems on purpose,” and honestly? She’s right. We also get into the messy fallout of her split with David Harbour because men really have had it too easy. Meanwhile, we recap the Selling Sunset reunion and mourn the loss of Chrishell, because without her the show is just Oppenheim men and a bunch of their exes they've hired!

Having a Boyfriend is Embarrassing: Why Being Single is Chic

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 10:00:34 +0000

In this week’s episode, we’re breaking down Vogue’s viral article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing?” and unpacking why being single is actually chic, powerful, and way more interesting than chasing marriage like it’s an achievement badge. We also dive into the new season of Selling Sunset (and all the chaos that comes with it), recap our Halloween weekend antics, and get a little too excited about the holiday season already.

Shrekking & Ghosting Season: The Haunting World of Modern Dating

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 09:00:59 +0000

In this week’s Halloween special, we dive into the dark, hilarious underbelly of modern dating — from “shrekking” (aka girls dating ugly guys) to the ghosts and ghouls of our past who just won’t stop haunting our social media. We’re breaking down why women sometimes fall for the ogre next door, what ghosting really says about someone, and how exes always seem to resurrect themselves around spooky season. Grab your broomsticks and your boundaries — it’s about to get messy in the dating graveyard.

Breaking Up With Our Phones: How to Have a Digital Detox

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 09:00:11 +0000

We’re talking about the kind of codependency that doesn’t involve another person—it’s between us and our phones. From that reflexive scroll the second we feel bored to the panic of being “offline,” we’ve realized how deep our need for connection really goes. In this episode, we’re unpacking our tech attachment issues, how social media feeds our anxiety, and what happens when we actually log off. Spoiler: it’s uncomfortable—but it’s also kind of freeing.

We Yearn for Yearning: Why Every Girl is in Love with Conrad Fisher

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 09:00:03 +0000

In this episode, we dive into the character of Conrad Fisher from The Summer I Turned Pretty and why he’s become the internet’s ultimate Gen Z heartthrob. More than just a brooding love interest, Conrad embodies something we don’t often see in men today: patience, devotion, and the courage to be vulnerable. We’ll talk about how his unwavering love for Belly brought yearning back into the cultural conversation, why so many women are obsessed with him, and what his character reveals about modern dating, where ghosting and “situationships” have replaced risk and romance.

Dr. Molly Burrets: The Psychology of Marriage, Divorce, and the Emotional Work In Between

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 09:00:24 +0000

This week, we sit down with Dr. Molly Burrets, a USC professor and psychologist who specializes in marriage and divorce, to unpack the emotional work it takes to build a lasting partnership—and what happens when a relationship comes to an end. From the often-overlooked effort required to sustain intimacy to the subtle red flags that signal a marriage may not be sustainable, Dr. Burrets sheds light on the psychology of both commitment and separation. We also explore what the process of divorce looks like beyond the legalities, including the grief, identity shifts, and eventual healing that come with starting over.

From Fillers to Facelifts: The Rise of Plastic Surgery and Looking Forever 35

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 09:00:59 +0000

This week, we’re diving into The Cut’s article on the rise of the “forever-35 face” and the trend of undetectable facelifts. We break down the difference between SMAS and deep-plane techniques, why more women are turning to surgery earlier, and how treatments like CO₂ lasers, Morpheus8, and other non-surgical options are reshaping what it means to “age well.” From fillers falling out of favor to the influence of Ozempic and celebrity culture, we’re asking: is this new era of beauty empowerment, or just another impossible standard wrapped in a softer package?

The Great Lock In: How to Crush Goals from September to December

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 09:00:33 +0000

This week on The Gal’s Guide, we’re diving into “The Great Lock In” — TikTok’s latest trend encouraging us to use September through December as our most productive season. Think of it as a reset before the holidays: the time to lock in on your goals, stay consistent with your routines, and finally cross those short-term goals off your list. Whether it’s getting in shape, saving money, or just proving to yourself that you can commit, we’re talking about how to maximize this season of discipline while still leaving room for fun. We also talk about Kendra and Netflix's newest documentary, Unknown Number!

Single, Child-Free, and Thriving: Choosing To Be Selfish Over Settling

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 09:00:47 +0000

In this week’s episode, we declare that we’re officially entering our selfish era. We’re talking about why we’re not rushing into kids until we’ve lived the lives we want first, and why settling for just any man isn’t on the table when we genuinely enjoy our own company. From icons like Tracee Ellis Ross and Jennifer Aniston—women who are thriving, hot, and unbothered at 50—we’re breaking down how marriage and children aren’t the sole markers of a fulfilling life. Instead, we’re embracing independence, freedom, and the idea that putting yourself first is not selfish—it’s powerful.

In this episode, we dive into the chaos, clarity, and transformation that came with our Saturn returns.

Justice For The Girls Who Love Deeply: How 'Love Island' is a Reflection of Modern Dating For Women

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 09:00:35 +0000

This week, we’re diving into the current season of Love Island—but not just for the drama. We’re unpacking how the villa has become a mirror for modern dating: no one wants to commit, everyone’s playing it cool, and real emotional connection is treated like a red flag. Enter Amaya—the rare contestant who actually feels things and isn’t afraid to show it. We’re talking about what it means to love loudly in a world that rewards detachment, why vulnerability feels radical, and how girls who care “too much” are actually the ones getting it right.

Natalia Benson: Using Crystals & Manifesting to Shape Your Reality

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 09:00:12 +0000

In this episode, we’re flashing back to our interview with Natalia Benson and diving into the sparkly, spiritual world of crystals, manifestation, and alignment. Whether you’re a seasoned crystal girlie or just curious about how people are using rose quartz to call in love and citrine to boost abundance, we’re breaking down how these tools can help you get intentional about what you want—and attract it. From setting intentions during a new moon to cleansing energy and trusting the universe’s timing, this is your guide to getting in alignment and calling in your best life.

We're so thrilled to be joined by astrological expert and women’s empowerment coach, Natalia Benson! Natalia shares her struggles with self-confidence in her early twenties and how that led to the goddess she is today. We discuss how to attract the life you want and the proper ways Natalia practices manifestation and alignment in her daily life. Natalia even breaks down how she was able to manifest her current relationship and she called that energy in. She even does a live practice with Hannah and Emily. We hope you gals enjoy!

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

We're pulling back the curtain on our wellness journey—from the inside out. Hannah and Emily share what finally pushed us to embrace a more active lifestyle, how working with a nutritionist shifted our mindsets around food, and the simple habits that are making us feel stronger, less stressed, and more energized. From upgrading our supplements to prioritizing heart health, we're diving into all the changes that are helping us feel more grounded and in tune with our bodies. If you’re curious about where to start or just need a little inspo to get back on track, this one's for you.

Lynnsey Robsinson: Deciphering Our Dreams, Tarot Reading, and How To Properly Use Affirmations (PART 2)

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In Part 2 of our conversation with Lynnsey Robinson, we go deeper into the woo (and the why) — decoding what our dreams are really trying to tell us, how to approach tarot as a tool for self-reflection (not fortune-telling), and how to actually use affirmations so they don’t feel like empty words. We talk about what it means when you keep having the same dream over and over again, how tarot can help you get unstuck, and why slapping “I am confident” on your mirror isn’t enough if your subconscious isn’t on board. It’s part intuition, part psychology, and all good vibes.

Lynnsey Robinson: Hypnotherapy, Manifesting, and Rewiring Your Mind to Get What You Want (PART 1)

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, join us for PART 1 of our interview with a certified hypnotherapist, Lynnsey Robinson, to talk all things hypnotherapy, manifestation, and how to actually shift your mindset to start living the life you want. We dive into what hypnotherapy really is, how your subconscious might be sabotaging your goals, and what it means to live in alignment. Plus, we unpack the difference between manifesting with intention vs. just being slightly delulu. If you’ve ever repeated affirmations in the mirror while crying or tried to “act as if” but ended up just acting confused — this one’s for you.

"We're Right, You're Wrong, Move On": Our Pop Culture Update

Mon, 26 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the pop culture pool—no life jackets necessary. We break down the buzzy new movie Sinners, give a (slightly unhinged) deep dive into why Emily's takes on cinematography deserve an Oscar, and celebrate a historic moment: Hannah has finally watched The White Lotus. From prestige TV to big-screen aesthetics, one thing becomes clear—Emily's opinions are the gold standard. Sorry, we don’t make the rules... Emily just enforces them.

K. Broch: ADHD, Red Flags, and the Emotional Rollercoaster We Didn’t Ask For

Mon, 19 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the chaotic trifecta that is adult ADHD with our gal pal, K Broch! You've heard her voice on the show before, and now she's back to dish on all things narcissistic relationships and why people ADHD are drawn to them.

We talk about the thrill of being overstimulated, overmedicated, and overly nice to men who should’ve been blocked five DMs ago. We get into what it’s like to be raised by narcissists (fun!), date them (worse!), and why having ADHD means I’ll literally chase any shiny red flag if it seems interesting enough. This episode is for the girls, gays, and theys who are tired, chronically online, and one intrusive thought away from revenge. Enjoy!

Dr. Lilit: The Truth About Postpartum and Bouncing Back After Kids

Mon, 05 May 2025 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Lilit, a licensed clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, and maternal mental health expert with over 15 years of experience, to unpack the emotional, physical, and mental realities of life after birth. From the unexpected symptoms no one warns you about to the societal pressure to "bounce back," we explore the common misconceptions that leave many new moms feeling isolated and overwhelmed. We also dive into the complicated transition of returning to work as a new parent — what that looks like, how to prepare, and why support systems are more important than ever. Whether you're a new mom, expecting, or supporting someone who is, this conversation sheds light on what postpartum recovery really looks like and how we can all show up with more compassion and knowledge.

Whether you're pivoting careers, going back to school, picking up a new hobby, or simply trying to stay curious, this conversation is all about shaking off the fear of “being too late” and stepping into your next chapter with confidence.

Let's Go Gals, We're Deprogramming: Why Women Need To Stop Picking the Underdog

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Who doesn't love rom-coms? Probably the good-looking, wealthy men they've taught women not to pick. Whether it's The Notebook or Celine Song's upcoming A24 film The Materialists, women are often told to go after the down-trotted, underdog man who doesn't have much to give the girl except all of his love and admiration. Meanwhile, there is a charming, sexy, wealthy gentleman who is just as good for her left waiting in the wings. It's perfectly okay for women to choose the richer man, and that doesn't make her a golddigger! We're exploring this topic and more in today's episode. Enjoy!

Reclaiming the Spotlight: Decentering Men in Our Lives

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000

For too long, women have been taught to measure their worth through their relationships with men—whether it’s dating, marriage, or just being ‘likable.’ In this episode, we’re flipping the script and talking about what it really means to decenter men in our lives. From prioritizing female friendships and personal growth to unlearning the societal pressure to seek male validation, we’re diving into the mindset shift that leads to more confidence, joy, and self-fulfillment.

New Year, New Trends: Our Ins and Outs for 2025

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we’re diving into the ins and outs of 2025—what’s trending, what’s tired, and what’s totally transformative. From the latest in fashion (think quiet luxury with a playful twist) to social media shifts (RIP overly curated feeds), we’re breaking down what’s defining the year ahead. We’ll also chat about dating trends, like the rise of "main character energy" over chasing situationships, and wellness, where cyclical living and hormone health are taking center stage. Whether it’s how we’re working, dressing, or navigating relationships, this year is all about authenticity, connection, and a little sparkle of joy. Let’s set the vibe for 2025!

Our Epidemic of Loneliness: Why Adult Friendships Feel Like Hard Work

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Nearly 1 in 3 adults feel lonely. It's no wonder when social media has taken over our lives and we've spent the last several years in isolation from a worldwide pandemic. As we get older and our schedules get busier, it can often feel like we have to remember to schedule friends and fun in the mix.

What happened to the joy of just hanging out? Where have third places gone? Has social media replaced physical third places? Does social media make for lazy friendships? Why does hanging out with a friend have to cost so much money? Are we only ever recapping our lives or are we actually creating new memories with our friends? We're tackling all of this and more in today's episode!

Don't Be A Back Burner Bitch: How To Get The Respect You Deserve

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Never settle for being someone’s backup plan.

It’s not a friendship, but it’s not a relationship either. You're close, but you still feel a distance. You’re never sure where you stand with them. They're your person, but maybe you're number 3 on their list. Sound familiar? You might be a back burner bitch and baby, you deserve the front right burner. There’s a high chance you’re someone’s back burner, e.g someone’s back-up plan, in case that someone decides to get into a relationship— in case they’re single — or break up with their current partner. If you’ve been talking with someone and suspect that they use you as their back-burner, we're teaching you how to DEMAND the respect you deserve.

No One Likes A Mad Woman: Understanding Female Rage

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0000

What a shame she went mad...

Female rage has often been explained as an ancestral and inherited response to the struggles, oppressions, and wrongdoings that women have been subjected to. God forbid a woman express herself without seeming crazy. How do we handle our own inner rage? Do we suppress it? Do we use it as a weapon? Is it all a ticking time bomb to undermine the validity of our decision making skills as humans? We're breaking down our relationship to anger, how female rage has been claissified to us, and how to better understand our outbursts and anger.

Sorry, I Have To Cancel: Dealing with Flaky Friends and Partners

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Most people have at least one flaky friend. You know them well. You can never count on them for any plans, usually unless it's their idea. Sometimes they only hit you up if it benefits them, never the other way around. It’s easy enough for other people to say “they're not a real friend,” but…what if you honestly love and admire this person? What if you are dating them? We're diving into why people tend to be flaky, how to handle this type of friend or partner, and do you even have to deal with it?

Nicole Christie : Building Resilience and Beating the Odds

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 09:00:00 +0000

When we think of resilience and strength, Nicole Christie definitely comes to mind. She is bringing her rawness, candidness, and utter badassery to The Gal's Guide today to share her story of self-care and self-discovery after a yearlong battle with ocular cancer, moving to a new city, recovering from narcissistic abuse, and leaving her marriage.

Together, we are discussing how to tune into what your body is telling you and use it as a compass for change; how she was able to recognize, survive, and thrive after narcissistic abuse; as well as, how the best self-care is the kind that comes from inside: self-awareness, self-compassion, self-respect, and self-integrity.

Divorce, much like a marriage, can be a life-altering event. As you begin to reestablish yourself, it can help to keep in mind that divorce doesn’t mean your life has ended. Rather, it signals a new beginning.

Hannah and Emily chat with Dr. Karin about how to start the conversation about divorce with a partner, how to get back out there after divorce, and how to navigate this new chapter in your life.

Sally Douglas & Imogen Carn: Moving Through Grief Towards Joy

Mon, 22 May 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Navigating grief can be a difficult journey to conquer alone, especially if you've never done it before. Some think they can bypass pain and grief completely and just skip to joy. Others believe they don’t deserve joy amid so much loss. Joy is not something that must be earned or can only come as result of a prior effort, and grief is not something that needs to exist in a vacuum and consume every waking moment of your life.

Today, we're joined by Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, hosts of the popular podcast Good Mourning where they both shine a light on what grief is really like with honesty, hope and humor. We chat about their new book, how to make the conversation about loss and grief more approachable, putting a positive spin on grief anniversaries, how grief affects a person's body and mind, how to finally take the approach forward towards joy.

Girls Gotta Heal: Navigating Past Traumas In A New Relationship

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

New relationships and connections can be so fun and exciting, but sometimes there is a voice in the back of your head reminding you of your past. Unfortunately, a lot of us have experienced trauma and it can be daunting to approach the topic in a new connection. Learning how to navigate this complicated history while dating can be extremely overwhelming. Timing is everything, for you and your partner.

Today, we are joined by Carm from Girls Gotta Heal. She's here to help us understand how to protect yourself when opening up to a new connection, understanding if this is the right person to give your trust to, and how to ultimately trust yourself again. You're a growing person who deserves to feel loved and to love after trauma. We just hope we can help!

It's Okay To Feel Your Feelings: Processing Emotions and Learning To Be Vulnerable with Yourself

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:00:00 +0000

Some of us are closed to off to feeling our feelings. We'd rather not have the "distraction," while others where them on their sleeves. Sometimes, we may not even be consciously aware of our emotional state. There's a lot that both parties can learn from each other and that's what we're dissecting today. We discuss why it's socially normal to avoid feelings, how people process grief, all the ways we try to avoid our emotions, what's really wrong with avoiding emotions, and why it's skillful to learn when and where to process your feelings.

Being Delusional Actually WORKS: Living Life As Our Higher Self

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 10:00:00 +0000

We're in our delusional. No, not delusional as in we think we're Beyoncé or married to Harry Styles, but the kind that is going to change your life for the better. We're deep diving into the mindset that has allowed us to achieve all of the success we've had so far in life. By implementing the law of assumption, aligning your frequencies, looking for universal signs and affirmations, and being straight up delusional about the life you see for yourself, there is no one who can't have the life of your dreams.

I mean... Emily literally met Niall Horan with this method and she's sharing it right here.

This Is For The Single Gals: How to Be Okay Alone on Valentine's Day

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Being single on Valentine's Day isn't the worst thing in the world, but let's be real. The holiday continues to be a tough time for singles. Even if we’re enjoying it, enthralled in our own independence, and, let’s be real here, full-on thriving, we still run into inconveniences, self-destructive thoughts, and pity. Ugh, the pity.

Validation does NOT come from someone else. One person cannot be your everything. Your worth is only about you, period.We have everything we need inside of us, and everything else is just the sweet, sweet cherry on top.We're sharing why being single is honestly the best thing you can be for yourself.

We're In Our Unbothered Era: Staying Calm and Carefree in 2023

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +0000

2023 is the year of me. It's the year of living calm, cool, and carefree from anyone's opinion, because it's none of your business what anyone else thinks of you. The days of getting worked up because something didn't go exactly as planned are far behind us. We're going with the flow and focusing on what we can control and that is how we react to the world around us.

In this episode, Hannah and Emily are walking the gals through how they plan to live unbothered in 2023. They're reacting slower in order to not get worked up, they're saying no to things that aren't serving them, and they're letting go of toxicity around them. By channeling a more confident and assured self, they promise you can live unbothered too.

Having a Healthy Boundary vs. An Emotional Wall

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Ah, boundaries. A topic we frequent on the podcast, but what does a boundary look like and how is it different from putting up an emotional wall? Boundaries are in place for you to become expansive and look after your emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. An emotional wall is a reaction to pain.

In order to have boundaries externally with others, you need to have them internally with yourself. Boundaries require vulnerability, emotional walls barricade your feelings. We're dissecting the difference between the two today with key examples and how to start using small boundaries into your everyday life so they don't seem as scary.

Setting Up Your Friends & Handling Being Set Up

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:00:00 +0000

So you want to play cupid with your friends love lives? We all do it! Naturally we think all of our friends are great, so if two of them can date then it would be magical! Sometimes, it's not always the best idea though. For some, being set up is a lot better than meeting a stranger on an app or at a bar. For others, it holds too much responsibility and makes them anxious of accidentally screwing up. Just cause someone is a great pal doesn't mean they're a great lover, but sometimes it's exactly what your bestie could need.

We're giving you the do and the don'ts of setting up your friends, get their permission, how and where to introduce them, find out if they're really a good match or a good friend, get the conversation flowing between them, and how to ultimately handle being set up by your friend. Enjoy!

We're continuing our talks around coping and dealing with stress this week by discussing living with chronic anxiety, managing it day-to-day, and how to care for someone going through a panic attack.

*Healthy reminder: we are not doctors and this is not medical advice. Please seek a medical physician if you are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks.

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 09:00:00 +0000

We're so excited to kick off our new year of The Gal's Guide by talking about a subject so important to us: burnout. There is “a cultural expectation that women will just give and give until they have nothing left.” What kind of stress causes burnout? Is it enviable for everyone to experience, or does it only happen when you hate your job? In today's episode, Hannah and Emily discuss the difference between stress, stressors, and how the cycle of stress works and why no one is doing it correctly.

Say No to Coffee Dates

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Don't get us wrong, we love a good coffee shop, but coffee dates, or offers to go on a walk, are not dates. They’re bullshit hang outs you do with out of town friends and family, not your future partner. It let's the person off the hook when it comes to putting in effort and we believe the first date is the prime to time to put in effort!

In this week's episode, we're setting standards higher for our first dates, why coffee/walk dates are dealbreakers, how to express your standards better for a first date, and giving you ideas for better first dates that still keep the pressure low but raise the effort! Enjoy!

When You've Moved On, Then They Come Back...

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

"As soon as you stop thinking about them, they’ll send you a text message or they’ll call you, because they know you just stopped thinking about them. It’s like radar." - Lauren Conrad

We've talked about exes, hookups, and old flames coming back and how you should handle the situation multiple times on this show, but today we're discussing the "why." Why do they disrupt your peace when you're finally doing well without them? What does it all mean? We have the one realization you need to finally give you closure and let go!

Stop Caring What Others Think

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Everyone loves being liked, but at what age do we stop giving a damn about other people's opinions of us?

If caring what other people think is holding you back from living your best life, then this episode is for you. We are identifying our values and holding on to our integrity. While letting go of what other people think of us sounds a lot easier than it actually is, when we place more value in our own happiness and sanity, then it actually can be. We are learning how to become confident, even if you have to fake it until you make it, and we are surrounding ourselves with others that only uplift us.

Healing From a Toxic Friendship

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Breakups are a sad part of life, especially friendship breakups. They can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. More often, there's deep levels of trust and vulnerability that is shared.

However, when a friendship turns toxic and it's easy to see how it may not be healthy to continue, a breakup can be a necessity to your mental health. When do you know it’s time to break up with a friend? What are the toxic signs you should look out for? How do you even go about having this conversation? We're learning to recognize subconscious patterns that are manifesting in our friendship that can lead to toxicity and allowing ourselves to heal in order to save ourselves.

Dealing With Your Partner's Ex

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0000

We don't all like to think about our partner's past before us, but we have to acknowledge that they did have a life before us — sometimes with another person too. Exes are one thing when they're your own, but dealing with a partner's ex can seem odd and we don't know always know how to handle it. Why are they still in contact? Why is their ex stalking my social media? Are they jealous? Does my partner want them back? We always go to the worst possible case, but it's not always true!

In today's episode, Hannah is sharing her experience with her partner's exes resurfacing as her wedding gets closer while Emily expresses her story of being that ex that "never went away" with a previous partner. We share how to set a boundary with our partners, gaining trust in the situation, and why their ex could be reaching out and how to determine If it's harmless or a concern.

Working Through Perfectionism

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Perfectionism ironically can hold us back from reaching our full potential. Yet, no matter how many times we’re told to “let go” or “go with the flow,” so many of us reach burnout quickly.

In this episode, Hannah and Emily open up about their self-discovery journey with perfectionism, the continuous practice they’re doing to rest and let go of control, and how you can free yourself from self-limiting beliefs too!

Being Happy Alone

Mon, 23 May 2022 09:00:00 +0000

People often believe that being single means you're alone, and being alone means you're lonely. We think that is the farthest from the truth. The more comfortable you become with being alone, then it only makes your standards for a partner that much higher (in an amazing way). Because the route to an amazing love life is loving yourself first. We're talking ways you can begin taking yourself out on dates, eating out alone, going to bars alone, going to concerts alone, and ways Emily is challenging herself to become more independent in the course to break her codependency.

Moving In With Your Partner & Maintaining Independence

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Relationships are a team effort, but you can still have your own pursuits. When you find yourself in a relationship, it’s natural to want to spend all of your time together. Obviously, you want to watch out for co-dependence, or an excessive reliance on your partner. As you spend more time together, it's important to also make alone time for you too.

Friendship Red Flags

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 10:00:00 +0000

It's a gal pal's episode! We always talk about red flags when dating, but today we're covering toxic red flags in friendships that include (but definitely aren't limited to) jealousy, unreliability, picking/bullying, anger, and more. We're also sharing our own personal experiences with toxic red flags from some former friendships and how we have learned to move on from a friendship or decide if it's worth saving.

We've all had that lingering thought before: Is this a real relationship or am I just a rebound? Am I just a foster girlfriend? It's never a great feeling.

What's Draining You vs. Fueling You?

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

How we view everything in life is determined by our energy level. Our work, family, friends, habits, all affect our outlook on the tasks at hand. The thing is, if we want to be more in control of our life, we need to learn how to control our energy. Today, we're giving Hannah a therapy session of her own to understand how shifting your mindset around mundane tasks can improve your overall mood and outlook on a day-to-day basis. We also learn how to cut out the necessary things and people that are energy drainers in order to live a happier life.
