In today's episode, I am embracing my contrarian spirit by challenging the current online trend to share your current struggles in an effort to be perceived as more authentic and/or relatable. Additionally, I touch on being an indecisive bitch who can't settle on bathroom tiles, my official review of Hocus Pocus 2, and the importance of knowing your boundaries, as well as your personal purpose for posting, and not allowing either of those things to be compromised by what's popular.

In today's episode, I am joined by Sammy Kanter and Maddie Medved, co-founders and co-hosts of Girl and The Gov and Girl and The Gov, The Podcast, respectively. Together, we discuss their efforts to rebrand politics in a way that is both relatable and understandable to Millenials and Gen Z-ers, how podcasting has amplified their mission tenfold, and the significant role that social impact plays in everything they do. Additionally, Sammy and Maddie open up about their experiences with interrupting a historically rigid space as young women, the lack of appreciation for podcasters, struggling to celebrate wins, the constant pressure to keep up with the news cycle, their opinions on political figures being active on TikTok and Instagram, why you don't need to be an expert to get civically involved, and what keeps them hopeful about the future of politics.

In today's episode, I am haphazardly sharing my thoughts on the online healing and self-improvement space, as well as the wide array of aesthetics that are associated with that niche (i.e., clean girl, hot girl, it girl, and that girl). Additionally, I touch on being in my Joanna Gaines era, creating a healthy distance from social media as both a creator and consumer of content, and understanding that you have the power to be the sole pioneer of your personal journey.

Please keep in mind that both domestic violence and sexual assault are mentioned multiple times throughout this story. Additionally, I touch on the importance of asking straight-up questions during the internship interview process, red flags to look out for in non-profit mental health "counseling" organizations, and knowing your worth as a student, intern, and human being.

In today's episode, things get rowdy as I walk you through my running list of things that I strongly dislike (AKA hate). Some may call them hot takes, but I think of this as an unhinged opportunity for you to get to know me better because the things we don't fuck with mean something. Additionally, I touch on learning to cut myself breaks without feeling guilty, embracing fluidity in my identity and how I label myself, and hitting 3,000 Ambivalent Bitches on TikTok.
