This week, we spiral from Love Is Blind to what we give up for growth, why compromise isn't weakness, and how friendship teaches nervous system safety. We talk about the trades you make for peace, what you give up to go up, and how sometimes pigs in a blanket are your real non-negotiables.

Then we detour into the anthropology of dating—why no one lets a man pick them up anymore, how clean-hair girls and DoorDash girls coexist, and the text from a hot new guy that derailed the last five minutes of the pod.

It’s self-awareness, sarcasm, and soft pants season.

Girlhood is awesome, being a woman...requires strategy.

A BIG Thank you to our strategic partners.

This week we’re talking men, microbes, and moral dilemmas. From that time Jess accidentally seduced the French rugby team, to the ongoing hotel-barn-door crisis designed by men who’ve never held in a poop. We spiral into guilt-free rest, unsolicited advice, male audacity on dating apps, and the shocking science of tiny taints. Plus: why we apologize before being confident, and how 39 feels like a home renovation show you didn’t sign up for.

Also: your uterus doesn’t age, your eggs are fine, and we are done pre-emptively shrinking our power. It's feminism, feral energy, and Costco appreciation hour.

We sat down with Robin, founder of LIT & Aesthetics, to talk about what really goes on behind the glow-up. From oil & gas to owning one of Houston’s hottest med spas, she’s redefining what confidence looks like. We’re busting Botox myths, unpacking the judgment around “aging naturally,” and talking about what it really means to feel LIT inside and out.Find her:

We spiral (politely) about mid-tier work hotels clearly designed by men, why tubs vanished, and Billie Jo’s 1am Texas-toast-crouton girl dinner. Then: “no one’s priority” fallout, boundaries that work (and the nervous-system panic when they do), plus the “it’s fine” spell you cast in Target aisle 16C. Also: legal-billboard chaos (“Get Brain”), the French-speaking man debate, and our pitch for non-transferable dating cards with built-in safety metadata.

Today's episode is brought to you by The Woman-First Work Hotel—not real (yet), but spiritually available: blackout curtains that actually black out, push-button coffee, and soaps that don’t smell like your ex’s body spray. If you want us to build it… sponsor the show...like these strategic sponsors: Girlhood is awesome, being a woman...requires strategy.

This week we spiral from why jeans are dead to cuffing season cravings, the invisible load of single women, and the idea that maybe we’re just… right. We pitch our referral-only dating app, imagine a husband stork, and roast the Home Depot parking lot like the wild frontier it is. Plus: cat energy vs. dog energy, being no one’s priority, and how to balance ambition with a desire to just rot on the couch.

Our quarterly man-mic is LIVE. We brought on a gym owner who can deadlift feelings AND barbells.

We sit down with Terrance, owner of Warren T Fitness, to talk through modern masculinity, why men pull away when it’s good, how they process stress, and what actually shuts them down in hard conversations. We also hit perimenopause training myths, the “intimidated by strong women” question, apologies that land, and the invisible load women carry. It’s reps, recovery, and real talk.

This week we sit down with our new bestie (and sponsor!) Dr. Tiffany — aka the perimenopause pharmacist who finally explains why our hormones make us feel like Beyoncé one week and a cave troll the next.

We cover cycle syncing: when to crush PRs and when to Netflix + moomoo, hormone testing : when to start, what to ask, and how "normal" doesn't always mean optimal, and why “girl dinner” might need its own hormone phase.

Tag a hot girl who deserves a Dino Nugget + Hormone Panel.

This week we flip dating from chaos to process: referral dating, boundary scripts, and our five-strike “penalty strokes” policy. We talk nuance in a loud news cycle, Netflix swindles, the holiness of cold sheets, and the joy of blocking "Gary".

We’re choosing steady over spinning. Taylor & Travis gave us nervous-system peace, Cardi B gave us courtroom clarity, and fall gave us permission to rebrand. Skincare interventions were made.

In short: Butterflies are out, blood pressure is in--- Build love on a foundation, not a ferris wheel, and for f**ks sake put down the Neutrogena.

Girlhood is awesome; being a woman ...requires strategy.

Blackouts, muggings, and dental trauma — oh my. Nobody asked us to share these stories, but here we are.

This week, we’re serving chaos cocktails with a side of cautionary tales. From Jess's decades-long crush that ended in baby-giraffe blackout mode, to our guest Paige surviving a literal gunpoint mugging in Houston, to Billie Jo reliving her wired-shut college years after a football tackle left her teeth in the wrong zip code… we’re covering it all in an episode that is equal parts funny, horrifying, and healing.

Grab your tequila, clutch your Balenciaga, and settle in for stories nobody asked us to tell.

This week, we have Heather Debord — CEO, mom, and all-around baddie — for a conversation about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and saying “no” to anyone who tells you this is just a hobby.

The vibes are tense (thanks August), the boobs are escaping dresses, and pandas are taking too long to be born. We’re joined in-studio by powerhouse Heather Debord, whose story of leaving a secure job during the pandemic to build her own company will make you want to quit playing it safe and start playing Block Blast.

We cover everything from the realities of being a woman in male-dominated industries, motherhood as leadership training, bold pivots, why August feels cursed, and how not wiping your ass (yes, we went there again) is the PSA no one else will deliver. Buckle up — it’s part girlhood celebration, part entrepreneur therapy, and part “Heather Motherf*cking Dubord origin story.”

What do Pilates weights, kidney infections, and dingleberries all have in common? Welcome to this week’s chaos. We talk hot girl walk updates (including stealth mode), the invention of the Hot Girl Alert App (patent pending), and why if you can DoorDash from a mountain you can text back. We also unpack the difference between men being emotionally available vs. emotionally capable, call out garbage apologies, and yes—go full PSA mode on bathroom etiquette. Consider this your friendly reminder: wipe, wash, and maybe don’t mansplain trauma at a bar.

This week, we’re riding the emotional rollercoaster that is PMSing together — which, turns out, is our most efficient way to hate everyone and still have a great time. We unpack the sacred laws of Girl Dinner (yes, shameful ingredients required), hot girl walk updates, and the bizarre magic of manifesting both live Jimmy Eat World performances and Zach Morris lookalikes in the wild. From sushi miracles to Tommy Bahama singalongs, this one’s got it all: emotional whiplash, friendship telepathy, and the universe quite literally in our corner. It's chaotic, its unhinged, and its proof that hot girls can (and will) assemble at any moment.

Sake bombs, chaos, and catharsis. We went out for a chill birthday night and ended up counseling strangers, kissing each other, and ordering McDonald’s at midnight.The makeup might’ve melted, but the vibes were immaculate.

We dive into the realest parts of aging, photo shoots, emotional freedom — and drunk women named Wendy.

This week we interview a powerful female entrepreneur, friend of the pod, and photographer extraordinaire, Sarah RG. We pull back the curtain on how a single shoot can change the entire vibe of your brand. From awkward hand placement to the magic of natural light, we talk about confidence, creative direction, and finding your brand’s visual voice.Plus: chaotic shoot-day stories, bad headshot confessions, and how your photos can work harder for your business than you think.

And stay aware hot girl style:

In this one we answer your questions about the strategic minefield of dating, navigating careers and purpose, when to drop the non-negotiables, and what it actually looks like when someone sees you.

Also Featuring: Louie (the head-chewing emotional support schnauzer) a haunted corn maze metaphor, and our official stance on falling asleep before phone calls (don't).

Premium, perfectly balanced cocktails with just a twist of a cap--its like having a world-class bartender in your pocket, minus the awkward small talk.

It’s call week, rain week, and rage week. The weighted vest is vesticizing lives, curbs fight back, and the only man we are not blocking is our HEB boyfriend. Also: Texas leadership’s disaster response (or lack thereof), spying as a feminist act, and why Italian men might be the only ones left who appreciate a woman properly.

You know what’s better than a hot guy reading in public? A hot guy reading in public with the right voice. This week, we’re unpacking everything from dating app betrayals, to working out with personal trainers, purging our closets (emotionally and literally), and experimenting with how we want to show up in this next version of ourselves. Think of it as a soft launch for your higher self — with sweat, sarcasm, and a little quantum leaping

Your muscles will regret it in the moment, and you will definitely have some moments where you question every decision you have ever made...but he won't leave you hanging on the pull up bar. You will feel totally taken care of and seen in the most genuine way, and he will make sure you can strut out of there...or at least crawl.

We asked a man to explain himself. He brought snacks and surprising emotional insight. Let the mansplaining begin (but like...the good kind).

One week post-launch and we are fully feral: glowing from Beyond Botox, blocking trolls like it’s cardio, and accidentally recruiting men into our hot girl walks. We cry, we spiral, we unpack emotional boundaries (with spreadsheets).There’s emotional growth, med spa magic, dog reincarnations, and a spiritual awakening via Yellowstone. Basically? We’re glowing, unhinged, and fully exposed on the internet
