This week on Girls Chat XO, Jenny and Ashley are sipping tea and spilling on everything from cultural differences in situationships, dating expectations, and some personal, pod-exclusive updates 😅

From Vogue's viral article to real-life heartbreaks, the girls unpack why women get judged no matter what they do: single, cuffed, healing, or thriving, and why we’re all so quick to judge them based on their relationship status.
💌 “We need to talk about exclusivity” — when does it actually need to be said?
🧠 Why modern dating culture can feel like a game of emotional gymnastics
💔 The art of not getting attached to someone’s potential
😂 And of course, some chaotic friendship moments and listener Q&A’s Girls Chat xo advice

So pour yourself a beverage, tune in, and come laugh, cringe, and relate with us- because honestly, we’re all trying to figure it out together 🤍

This week, Jenny (@jennymeinen) breaks down what dating looks like when you stop performing and start enjoying the process again. From messy first dates and unexpected lessons to holding your boundaries without guilt, she’s sharing the new rules that make dating feel magnetic, light, and emotionally safe.

Jenny opens up about the difference between dating to be chosen and dating from self-worth—and why being “chill” isn’t the same as being confident. She dives into the psychology of boundaries, how attachment styles shape our dating patterns, and what it really means to embody your feminine energy while still keeping your standards high.

From the infamous “wyd tonight?” text to communicating boundaries with grace, this episode is your reminder that fun and standards aren’t opposites; they’re what make you unforgettable.

In this episode:
💌 How to stop auditioning and start experiencing people
🧠 Why boundaries don’t push love away—they invite emotional safety
📱 The right (and wrong) way to respond to last-minute plans
✨ What it means to date in your feminine flow—without losing self-respect
💋 Why saying no with confidence is your most magnetic energy

Whether you’re newly single, deep in your soft girl era, or just tired of dating burnout, this episode is your cozy, empowering reminder that you can be soft and strong, playful and grounded, open and unapologetically high-value.

Grab your glass and get cozy — the girls are back. In this Girls Chat XO reunion, Jenny and Ashley finally sit down to spill all the post-travel tea, celebrate being back together, and share life updates that go way beyond the surface.

Jenny takes us through her whirlwind month across Europe; from extravagant weddings in Tel Aviv and Belgrade to spontaneous adventures, last-minute dress shopping, and unexpected spiritual breakthroughs. She opens up about feeling more aligned than ever, trusting the flow, and the inner calm that’s shaped her next chapter.

Ashley brings her signature humor (and the wine), and together the girls talk about saying yes to new experiences, navigating family dynamics, and grounding back home after big transformations.

It’s a feel-good, laughter-filled catch-up that reminds you why fall is the perfect season for fresh starts, alignment, and cozy glow-ups.

Jenny sits down with licensed therapist and narcissistic abuse specialist Natalie Jambazian (@selflove__society) for a raw and eye-opening conversation about one of the most misunderstood topics in modern psychology: narcissism.

Together, they explore what truly defines a narcissist, how the label is often overused, and what emotional patterns separate genuine connection from manipulation.

They discuss how narcissistic relationships often begin with charm and intensity that can feel like a deep connection, and how that very intensity can mask control and emotional dependency. Natalie breaks down the core traits of narcissistic behavior, the subtle grooming process, and how survivors can start reclaiming their power through awareness and boundaries.

Jenny opens up about personal experiences that tested her intuition and shares how ignoring that first gut feeling often led to painful lessons that became growth. The two reflect on how self-trust is the ultimate form of protection and why healing from narcissistic dynamics requires more than distance; it requires self-reconnection.

This episode peels back the psychology, the patterns, and the emotions behind narcissism, giving you the tools to recognize red flags early and return to your strongest, clearest self.

In this first solo episode of Season 3, Jenny gets real about authenticity, self-focus, and stepping into a new era of being fully herself. After years of dimming parts of her truth to fit expectations, online, in relationships, and even in her own mind, she’s done playing small.

This episode dives deep into what it means to live intentionally: choosing where your focus goes, and becoming your hottest, healthiest, and happiest self this fall. Jenny unpacks how life works like your algorithm, because what you think about, engage with, and emotionally entertain is exactly what the universe keeps showing you more of.

She shares how this year has been all about recalibration- getting intentional with her energy, her goals, her relationships, and the projects she’s bringing to life.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve diluted your magic just to be liked, this episode will remind you that the most magnetic thing you can be is unapologetically yourself.

Girls Chat XO is officially back for Season 3, and Jenny and Ashley are wasting no time jumping into the mess and magic of modern love. From dinner party confessions to psychoanalysis jokes (seriously, stop asking if you're being analyzed), this episode unpacks what happens when self-reflection is avoided at all costs, and why therapy can change the entire trajectory of a relationship.

We unpack whether taking a break can ever actually save a relationship, why emotional detachment in the early dating phase might be the hardest skill to master, and the infamous taxi cab theory that claims men commit based on timing, not chemistry.

Add in some real talk on how to protect your heart while staying open to love, and you've got your new favorite bestie pep talk podcast. So grab your fave beverage, curl up on the couch (or blast it in the car), and tune in.

Season 3 is here, and it’s bold, heartfelt, and very XO.

It’s Saturday night, and the girls decided to record a spontaneous heart-to-heart conversation that just needed a mic. Jenny and Ashley sit down for a raw, unfiltered chat about dating in 2025, the spirals that come with swiping, and why this time around, things feel different. Ashley’s freshly single, navigating the apps (and the disappointment), and wondering: did dating change... or did she?

From defining your “husband energy” (spoiler: he’s not at the club) to questioning the energy we send into the universe when we center our lives around men, this one’s part vent session, part pep talk, and part gentle reminder that your love life isn’t your whole life.

Oh—and did we mention? This is the season two finale of Girls Chat XO. Thank you for riding with us through the chaos, the glow-ups, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs. Jenny From The Pod is preparing for a comeback with a whole new season full of juicy convos, new guests, and even more couch chats you didn’t know you needed.

After bouncing between New York, Miami, and Mammoth, Jenny is back in L.A. and grounding herself in the one thing that always brings her home: her morning routine. In this solo episode, she shares her favorite rituals to reconnect, reset, and realign when life feels a little off. Because let’s be honest—sometimes the magic lies in our small daily habits.

Jenny talks about what’s been going on behind the scenes—from wrapping up season two of the pod (!) to working on a powerful new journal designed to help women transform their lives in 90 days. As spring kicks in and the energy shifts, she’s diving deep into the power of intentional mornings, digital boundaries, and creating rituals that feel like you.

In this episode:🌞 Jenny’s morning routine to reset her energy📵 Why airplane mode is the #1 non-negotiable🌸 How small habits lead to big changes 🧘‍♀️ How intention-setting helps you show up as your higher self📓 A sneak peek at her upcoming Journal

Welcome back to Girls Chat XO—your go-to spot for real talk, big feelings, and the beautiful chaos of modern love.

Ashley shares how she’s been healing, processing, and finally taking the leap into the dating pool… with a freshly made Hinge profile (that Jenny is seeing for the first time—live).

From analyzing dating app answers to defining what the hell a situationship even is, the girls open up about the emotional rollercoaster of reentering the dating scene. Ashley spills on her unexpected connection with someone new, navigating feelings when timelines don’t align, and standing firm in her worth (especially when exclusivity is on the table).

Meanwhile, Jenny breaks down why clarity, boundaries, and a sense of humor are must-haves when your heart is still healing but your flirty side is back online.

📱 Creating a dating profile post-breakup (and letting your bestie roast it)

Welcome back to Girls Chat XO—your favorite place for unfiltered chats about love, life, and all the messy magic of girlhood. This week, things get a little deeper as Jenny and Ashley talk about something we all dread but eventually face: breakups.

Ashley shares the story of a recent, unexpected breakup—the kind that hits you with “we need to talk” after dinner on the couch. From living together, building a life, and sharing a dog to suddenly being on your own again, she opens up about all the feels. 

Jenny shares her best advice for navigating heartbreak, what to do when your confidence takes a hit, and why feeling your emotions fully is the key to healing—not a setback. Together, they explore the sneaky build-up of resentment, how avoiding conflict can slowly erode connection, and why breakups deserve the same respect as any other life-altering event (where’s our heartbreak PTO?!).
