Chill with Gill

From my first job at 14 to where I am now, it's been a LOT of work, a lot of lessons, and definitely a lot of stories to tell...

In this episode of Chill with Gill, we're yapping about every job I've had over the years, the funny (and sometimes questionable) things that have happened along the way, and the unexpected ways each experience has shaped who I am today!

So whether you're working your first job, figuring out your career path, or just here for the vibes, grab a snack and let's yap about it all:)

In this episode of Chill with Gill, I open up about growing up with divorced parents and how it shaped my childhood and the person I am today! I talk about what it was like packing my life into one backpack, traveling between different states, and learning how to maintain a meaningful relationship with my father from miles away.

Those experiences fundamentally shaped the way I see relationships, change, and life itself. I share the perspective I’ve gained from growing up in circumstances I couldn’t always control, and how they taught me to focus on what I can control in the present moment!

Most importantly, I talk about the importance of allowing yourself to actually feel your emotions instead of bottling them up. You can’t always change what happens around you, but you can choose how you process it, move through it, and let it shape you!

Today I'm joined by the one and only Mia Carson who runs the viral TikTok and Instagram account @_proteinprincess !

Welcome back to Chill with Gill! In this episode, I talk about what it really feels like to not have your life figured out in college and the pressure that comes with choosing a “right” path, or major. I share my personal experience switching from pre-med to pre-law while following my heart and passions, what led me to make that change, and how I handled the uncertainty that came with it.

If you’re about to start college, or you are already in it and questioning your major, this episode is for you! We get into the fear of starting over, the pressure to stick with what you originally chose, and what it means to actually listen to yourself instead of just doing what you think you should do. I also talk about why trying new classes, exploring different interests, and being open to change is not a failure—but part of figuring out what’s right for you!

You don’t need to have your whole life planned out right now, and changing your mind doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. Sometimes it just means you’re paying attention to what you actually want!

In this week's episode, I’m joined by Michelle Razavi, co-founder of Elavi, the women-run brand behind the viral protein brownies and cashew butters seen in places like Costco and Whole Foods!

We talk about her journey from college to the corporate world, and then ultimately to entrepreneurship, as well as how she built Elavi from the ground up. She also shares honest insights and advice on being a woman in business and what success looks like to her now!

If you’re interested in starting your own business or just want a real behind-the-scenes look at building a brand, this episode is for you!

This week on Chill with Gill, come join me as I sit down with content creator and college student Gabby Krenitsky for a look into her life behind the screen! From balancing college life and cheerleading, to making the big decision to transfer schools, Gabby talks up about how she built her platform, struggles she has faced, her messages for aspiring content creators and college students, mental health, her future plans for her brand, and she also answers some questions from y'all!

Gabby reveals her biggest waffle maker fail, what kind of waffle matches her personality, and takes on a rapid-fire waffle ingredient game that you won’t want to miss!

Come chill with us for a fun yapping session!

This week on Chill with Gill, I’m joined by Livia Benson—the creator behind Identical Recipes and author of Cookies Everyday. Livia has built a massive online following through her creative dessert recipes, baking tips, and lifestyle content, and today she’s giving us a behind-the-scenes look at how it all comes together!

We talk about her journey into baking, what it’s really like balancing college with running a rapidly-expanding brand, and how she turned her passion into a published cookbook! Livia also shares how she plans her recipe videos, her favorite recipes from her cookbook, and what the future holds for Identical Recipes (including the possibility for more cookbooks).

Plus, we dive into listener questions, from her biggest baking fail to what she actually does with all those leftover desserts—and even a few things she doesn’t usually share online.

Whether you’re into baking, content creation, or just love a good success story, this episode is the perfect listen! Tune in for all this and much more on this week's episode of Chill with Gill!
