Ambition 2.0

Ah, money—it's the reason we go to work, chase promotions and ask for raises. For Tori Dunlap (who saved $100K by the time she was 25), money means options. "When I had money—and we're not talking Jeff Bezos money—we're just talking an emergency fund, I could donate to causes I believed in. I could support candidates and legislation that I believed in. I could start a business. I could leave a toxic situation I didn't want to be in anymore. I could take a vacation," says Tori.

This is Tori's other belief: "I don't think anything bad happens when women get more money." To that end, the personal finance expert (who has a New York Times best-selling book, Financial Feminist, a hit money podcast and website all centered around helping women figure out their finances), gives real, tangible advice on saving and investing for women ("I don't believe in inspiration p*rn. I don't feel like it does anything," is another one of Tori's trademarks).

Today's conversation with Avery is tackles all of your money questions: When to start investing (and when to pay off those student loans), how to pay down debt and the ever-pressing renting-vs-buying debate. We know you'll get a lot out of this episode and leave it feeling better about your financial future.

There are so many misconceptions circulating on TikTok and Instagram about ways to “hack” your health as women—your cortisol levels, your sleep cycle, your period—so you can be the most optimized version of yourself… but there's often little-to-no scientific evidence to back it up.

That’s why the work Rachel Sanders is doing is so great. She’s the CEO and founder of Rootine, a line of targeted supplements and at-home lab tests that are rooted in science and customized to your unique daily routine. They have adaptogen drink mixes to help with sleep, focus and stress—plus, personalized multivitamins and in-depth tests for your cortisol, minerals, vitamins and DNA.

With 10 years’ experience at the intersection of health and technology, Rachel is disrupting the market as a woman founder in the male-dominated personalized health tech space. In addition to being a founder, Rachel is a startup advisor, angel investor, new mom, and has been featured across Forbes, Entrepreneur, Business Insider and more.

In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery and Rachel talk about what you should (and shouldn't) be tracking when it comes to your health, what we're getting wrong about our cortisol levels, and what wellness at work actually looks like.

Head to rootine.co to try out their targeted supplements and at-home lab tests, and folllow Rachel at @rachelsopsanders on Instagram.

On this extra-spicy episode of Girlboss Radio, we welcome feminist media critic Caro Claire Burke, whose TikTok videos dissecting all things trad wives you may have already come across.

So, what's the difference between a trad wife and a trad-wife influencer? Is wanting to make meals from scratch while wearing dreamy dresses really that bad? What does our current obsession with this type of influencer content say about the state of women's ambition?

And finally, is consuming trad-wife content inherently un-feminist? The answer might surprise you.

Some of Tori Robinson and Leah O'Malley's closest friends thought they would fail. Who's laughing now?

In today's episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery Francis catches up with the founders of Boys Lie. Their cool-girl loungewear broke the internet last summer when Ariana Madix from Vanderpump Rules wore their 1-800-Boys-Lie hoodie, not-so-subtly shading ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.

Their clothing has been spotted on A-listers like Kylie Jenner, Zendaya, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and many more—plus they’ve collabed with Forbes, Uber, REVOLVE, Urban Outfitters and PacSun, which solidified Boys Lie as an industry trailblazer. In 2022, the brand achieved a staggering $8 million in revenue.

Tori and Leah met in 2016 when they were both going through breakups with their boyfriends—who happened to be best friends. They formed an unbreakable bond and coined the mantra: “boys lie.”

Today, the Boys Lie founders talk about how much money it *really* takes to start a clothing brand, how other people’s doubts fuelled their success and why it's so important to have a failure runway.

Imagine working at Amazon for 12 years and never getting a promotion. Imagine being called "stupid" to your face by a senior exec in a meeting. Imagine being so burned out by the toxic, relentless pace of your job that you take up an unhealthy drinking habit. Kristi Coulter experienced all of that—and more—in her decade+ at Amazon, arguably the world's best-known and most controversial company. Then she wrote a book about it.

Today's convo digs deep into corporate burnout, Jeff Bezos, why workplaces weren't built for women, and what happens on the other side of your "dream job."

Check out Kristi's two books: Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career and Nothing Good Can Come from This.

In this (very spicy) episode of Girlboss Radio, host Avery Francis is joined with Liz Guber, Girlboss' general manager, and Victoria Christie, Girlboss' senior writer, to talk about the latest TikTok workplace trend: lazy girl jobs. What defines a lazy girl job? How does social media fuel misconceptions about them? What does this say about our disillusionment with capitalism and "hustle and grind" culture? Why is it a lazy girl job and not a lazy boy job? And who can really get away with having one?

It's a Girlboss Radio milestone—our first male guest. Ever.

So why a man and why now? Well, as our host, Avery Francis says, "Women and non-binary folks continue to carry the burden of conversations about moving the needle forward. I wanted to invite a man on the podcast to talk about how they're helping us achieve collective liberation."

While Girlboss Radio will always offer up our platform to women we admire, it's nice to get away from the echo chamber once in a while and hold conversations with guests we find interesting or can learn from—regardless of gender.

And now, about our guest: James J. Sexton, Esquire, is a no-BS divorce lawyer and author of If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late: A Divorce Lawyer's Guide to Staying Together who's helped thousands of people navigate the endings of their relationships. In the past year, he's become a bit of a social-media sensation for his no-sugarcoating takes on marriage (he thinks it's overly-normalized in society), love (he's a hopeless romantic!) and prenups (he thinks they're essential).

On this special episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery and James unpack why women initiate the majority of divorces, James' views on eternal love and the things we should be all be discussing with our romantic partners before getting hitched. Plus, the starting cost of prenups and divorce litigation.

For an episode that's all about the end of love, we think you'll find it (oddly) uplifting and hopeful. Happy Valentine's Day!

"It's a scam." That's how Dr. Jen Gunter, the internet's favorite OB/GYN, describes Kourtney Kardashian's vagina probiotic gummies (called Lemme Purr).

You can see why we had to have Dr. Gunter on the podcast, right? She isn't afraid to dispel the BS women are being told about their bodies.

In today's episode, Dr. Gunter debunks the biggest myths about vaginas, from synching your period cycle to your productivity to needing to get rid of the (perfectly normal) smell with scented wipes and washes. It's a self-cleaning oven, people!

Dr. Gunter is an OB/GYN, pain medicine physician and New York Times best-selling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto. Her brand-new book, Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation is out now.

Ever since Avery became the host of Girlboss Radio, she's had one dream guest at the top of her wishlist. And that person is Soraya Chemaly. Soraya is an award-winning writer and activist, best known for her 2018 book Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger. Avery refers to it "The Bible" and has recommended it (and even gifted it) to hundreds of people.

In this episode, Avery and Soraya talk about why, as women, we're conditioned to minimize our anger (and replace it with words like “tired” or “stressed”), and how we can all harness the power of rage for the greater good.
