Hello Future Gatherers,
Why is it so difficult to make friends as an adult? Where does this fear stem from? We asked ourselves that very question, now making it our life’s mission to answer it.
The GirlsThatGather was originally a social group for women created by its founder Maria Frosceno in the central FL area. She took the first step, putting herself out there by creating an event any girl was welcome to join. Initially her fear was she would spend the evening alone. But she showed up...praying that at the very least ONE person would join her. Two women did. That was the beginning.
Today there are a little under 750 members on the GirlsThatGather Meetup Group with attendance averaging between 10-30 girls per event.
The in person conversations were heartwarming, honest and invaluable.
The GirlsThatGather Podcast is an extension of this family. Reaching women from all over the world that want to be part of the conversation.
Join us as we talk about every candid, embarrassing, taboo and salacious story that has ever happened to us and the life lessons we now carry as a result.

My how the times have changed. The question is...did they change for the better? Additionally, who decides what stays and what goes when it comes to reinventing the words "wife" and "mother". I say we make our own rules. This episodes guest gives us some insight on what her transition was like going from a full time stay at home mom to a mother of 3 and entrepreneur. Juggling a beautiful partnership with her husband while running a successful business and still getting dinner on the table. Our guest Julissa does it all. I get it, some of us immediately think to ourselves "who has the time!". Maybe this isn't for everyone...but it is definitely inspiring for the woman who doesn't want to have to choose. For the woman who wants it all! Apple pie AND Louboutins.
There are defining moments for some of us that change the entire game. Some would say THE fork in the road. Listen in on my conversation with Carlie who made one of the most difficult decisions a person could make that altered the course of her entire life. She said yes to the dress, the invitations sent out and the vows nearly complete...but in the end staying true to herself outweighed it all. The power of intuition and the courage to listen to your heart is a very real thing. Listen to it, honor the work you've done with yourself and the universe will guide you in the end.
For most of us, we date multiple suitors and kiss a lot of frogs before we settle on a mate. Though for some a teeny part has always wished for that Cory and Topanga type of love. That sandbox to ring box love. In the rare occasion that you have been together through many seasons of your lives there is an element of wisdom and many trial and error life lessons to be shared. Or equally maybe you've been together a few years and a lot has changed in a short amount of time. Regardless of which, I believe we can all agree that relationships are a whole different ball game when comparing seasoned relationships to the newly plucked buds of love (or lust) individuals living on "Cloud 9".....population 2. Listen in as Sarah tells us her experience as a veteran in the commitment world and the major differences she can point out in the "new" to "comfortable" evolution that is her relationship.
Whether they're an active part of our lives, absentee or adoptive...we all have them. Parents. The people who made us and the ones chosen to guide us in this journey called life. A question we propose to you is...do they always get it right? If we're lucky there is mentorship, advice and unconditional love. The simple fact however is that they are human. Sometimes their experiences aren't necessarily ones we'd like to replicate. Join me as I catch up with our guest Lesly as she walks us through the core memories she considers the things her parents relationship has taught her NOT to do.
What would you do with your big chance? The infamous time machine question. What wisdom would you bestow on a younger you that could help them cope with what was to come? Listen in on this episode featuring my SISTER Francheska on what advice she would give herself as she recalls some of the moments where she lapsed in judgement professionally, romantically and of course the fashion don'ts we all wish we could erase from our memories.
Boundaries...who do we set them with? How do we know its the right time to enforce or re-enforce them? And most importantly how many chances do we give out when investing in another human being? Listen in on my conversation with our guest Alice as she walks us through the series of events that led her to reach that point of self preservation and the life lessons she now carries because of said events.
There are so many obstacles in dating, but when the main obstacle is yourself that adds a level of difficulty that forces you look within. We all have that one friend or maybe we ourselves are the self sabotagers. The girl that friendzones herself right away making it impossible for the object of her affection to see her as anything other than a buddy. Listen in as Johauna and I unpack her story, the thought process behind the barriers and the tools we can use moving forward that might help you go from friend-lay to fian-cay.
We all know that struggle, the anxiety that builds leading up to those 3 little words...and no not the L word. The "What are we" talk. The where is this going, are we no longer seeing other people, is it time to delete the dating apps talk. The first vulnerable step taken towards a potential commitment. Does it have to be that difficult? Or have found ways to better prepare ourselves with the tools and confidence it takes to make these conversations a breeze. Listen in as MK and I discuss her experience and advice to women who can relate to this internal struggle.
Once Upon a Time....those sweet little words we all know and love. They bring us comfort in knowing that we're about to settle in for 2 hrs of pure magic. Fast forward to your late 20s/early 30s where building your career, making time for the gym and traveling the globe are your new priorities. Dating isn't exactly what 11 year old you thought it would be. What are the main differences? What is fiction and what do we dare to continue to dream will come to fruition. Listen in as Crissy and I discuss what dating has taught us about Disney Love vs Real Love.
“No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.” –Cinderella
Ok...so for those of us WITH social media this topic has most likely affected you one way or another. You might've had your doubts about certain sketchy fellas that have wanted to date you so you vet them OR maybe the opposite and seeing their social media brought you the perspective you needed to feel confident in that relationship moving forward. Either way social media has become a humongous part of evaluating the humans we allow into our lives. Listen in as Keiana dishes on some of her real life experiences in dating and the unsavory characters that used these platforms to manipulate the process.
We know we know....sex talk is taboo. But nothing is off limits in this next episode of GTG. Listen in as our guest Judy walks us through her first toy store experience. And here's to all of the women out there that want to let their hair down and have an honest conversation about the things we say, don't say and should say in the bedroom.
If you think you've heard every catfish story imaginable you're in for a treat. Follow Ariana and I as we dish on how a mutual impersonator brought us together and nearly tore our relationships apart. The lies, the rumors and the photoshops are all present and accounted for.
