The Gal's Guide

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Midnight Sun by Zara LarssonHannah's Captivation: Kitsch Satin Lined Flexi Shower CapShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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!---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: TraitorsHannah's Captivation: Cash Mobs (surprising and supporting local businesses)Shop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

If you watched the Tell Me Lies finale, then you know we've all dated a guy like Stephen Demarco or had a messy friend group like Lucy's.

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: The Handmaid’s TaleHannah's Captivation: Ella LangleyShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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...

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Tell Me LiesHannah's Captivation: His & HersShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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.

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Amy Poehler's Podcast, Good HangHannah's Captivation: Emily In ParisShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on the highs and lows of 2025, sharing our favorite films, albums, and standout moments from the year. We dive into what made these picks special and how they shaped our year. Plus, we talk about our big goals for 2026 and the things we're most excited to see unfold; whether it's new releases, personal growth, or changes in the world.

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: HamnetHannah's Captivation: Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3Shop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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.

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. ---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: B12 shotsHannah's Captivation: OUAI Super Dry Invisible Dry Shampoo in Melrose PlaceShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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!---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: B12 shotsHannah's Captivation: OUAI Super Dry Invisible Dry Shampoo in Melrose PlaceShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

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.

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.

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.

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.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Slip Jet Setter Travel PillowHannah's Captivation: Frost Buddy To-Go BuddyShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal’s Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.
