This episode is all about The Bash—our new Sunday residency that brings the whole city outside.

Hosted at Sip from 2 to 7PM, The Bash is where community meets chaos, movement meets music, and everyone shows up as they are. It’s loose. It’s fun. It’s sweaty. It’s giving cookout energy—but not at your auntie’s house.

We linked up with Jacksonville Bestie to bring this vibe to life, and while our events are separate, this one’s a collaboration. Different brands, same city, same wild joy.

If you’ve been asking what The Bash is, this is your invitation. Come see for yourself.

This week on We Are Feral, your co-hosts Gigi & Susan get into the real cost of healing and we’re not talking in metaphors.

From therapy sessions to spiritual retreats, from quiet time to major investments in your mental health…we talk about what it actually took to start feeling okay again.

Susan went on a full-on retreat to reset. Gigi’s been through her own journey with stress and survival. And through it all, we both realized: healing is hard, personal, and expensive.

We’re not selling you a solution. We’re just telling the truth.

This podcast started because we needed somewhere to be honest. Somewhere to breathe. Somewhere that was just ours.

Now? It’s something more. We hit 500 followers this week, but the real milestone was learning how to keep showing up—for the pod, for each other, and for the people quietly rooting for us. This week we talk about perception vs. reality, miscommunication, and how even in the mess, we’re building something solid.

We’re not perfect. We’re not always aligned. But we believe in this. And if you’re here, you probably do too.

In this soulful episode of We Are Feral, Brandi Denslow shares how one sun-drenched shoot helped her find the clarity she’d been waiting for. That moment—and many after—led her to trust her intuition, walk away from a corporate path, and step fully into the creative work she was meant to do.

Brandi now creates moody, deeply intuitive portraits and embodiment sessions that help her clients reconnect with their stories, their bodies, and their spirit.

Tune in as the ladies talk about:
• Taking aligned risks (even when it’s scary)
• How listening to the universe changed her creative process
• The art of moody photography and why it resonates
• Rewriting your life and career on your own terms

🌀 This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to be fearless—you just need to keep going.

From late-night gaming parties to creator meetups that feel more like family reunions, Ryan Paul Thompson has spent the last decade turning feelings into foundations—first with GAAM, and now with Jax Creators.

In this episode of We Are Feral, Ryan opens up about the gut instinct that guided his journey, what it really means to “empower your neighborhood,” and why Jacksonville is more than a backdrop—it’s the blueprint.

We talk about community building without the buzzwords, what it means to trust yourself before the vision makes sense, and why sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is say “yes” to your weirdest, wildest ideas.

Meet MJ, the 32-year-old CEO behind Die Pretty Lashes in San Marco, Jacksonville. After losing her studio chair, she decided to buy the building—1628 San Marco Blvd #10, Jacksonville, FL. Now she’s running her own lash empire, selling lash tools, clothing, tooth gems, and even permanent jewelry—all while opening her studio to fellow queens in tattooing, makeup, and beauty services.

In this raw and real conversation, we go behind the brand to uncover:
• How MJ turned a setback into a takeover
• What it takes to go from lash tech to beauty boss
• Her vision for community-building and studio expansion
• And the grit, grind, and grace behind juggling entrepreneurship, motherhood, and relationships. 

From lash studio owner Jacksonville to female entrepreneur success story, this episode is for anyone ready to level up, rewrite their come-up, and bet on themselves—even when the room says “no.”

👉Business plug: Book with MJ at @dieprettylashes for lashes, tools, tooth gems, and studio space.

Anastacia Garcia didn’t wait for permission. She built a lane, then sashayed through it like it was made for her. A former educator turned corporate trainer, Anastacia hacked the system—turning Canva mastery into corporate magic and walking herself straight into rooms people swore were off-limits.
 
Pretty Girls Walk started as a personal outlet, but quickly became a movement. She didn’t just claim space—she made it look good. Now featured on Visit Jacksonville, with whole cities taking notice (yes, we mean you Neptune) Anastacia is a reminder that the audacity to be yourself is the ultimate superpower.
 
Get into this one. It’s part confidence, part strategy, and 100% feral.

New here? Good. Because this one’s for you.

We started We Are Feral when everything felt like it was falling apart—our identities, our careers, our relationships. What we didn’t know then? That rock bottom would be the best launch pad.

This episode is a reset. A re-intro. A reminder. We were tired of playing small. Of second-guessing ourselves. Of waiting to feel “ready.” So we said f*ck it—and started recording.

Since then?
💥 We threw our first live event (Summer Bash was a whole scene).
🧢 We dropped our first merch (crops, hats + stickers = fire).
✨ And we’re still manifesting our dream space with a coffee shop, juice bar, and recording studio in the back.

We’re not afraid to admit when we’re scared. Or when we’re unsure. But we are shameless. Fearless. And completely in love with life in a way we’ve never been before.

So if you’re here for the honesty, the chaos, the growth, the glow-up— Welcome to the movement.

We’ve been building this thing brick by brick—episode by episode—and it’s time to celebrate.

This week’s episode is a recap of everything that’s led us to right now. We’re talking lessons, laughs, and the unexpected power of showing up messy and real.

From Chaz (Jacksonville Bestie) bringing the boldness, to Lauren’s clarity, Bernadette being a whole baddie, Christina’s comeback, and Anastasia’s audacity—these women didn’t come to play.

We recorded this one on location at Trio Lounge, where we’ll be throwing down this Sunday, June 1 from 1–5 PM for our first-ever Summer Bash

This isn’t just a recap. It’s a toast.
To the listeners.
To the momentum.
To We Are Feral turning the volume all the way up.

“I don’t know how she does it…”

This is that story.

Bernadette is a wife. A mom of four. And the kind of woman who has lived through more than most people will ever understand.
