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.

Testing, testing, 1… 2… 3… *Taps mic*

Hey, Girlboss Radio listeners! Did you miss us? ‘Cause we missed you! Your favorite podcast is back. And we couldn’t think of a better person to kick-off the new season than Lilly Singh.

You probably know her. From her 2010 YouTube beginnings to a historic time on late night TV, Lilly now has over 40 million followers and owns a production company called Unicorn Island, which combines entertainment with social impact. She's an Emmy-winning entertainer, actress, producer, New York Times best-selling author and gender equality advocate, and is debuting her first feature film, Doin' It, this year.

We knew right away we wanted her to be our debut episode of season 3 and you’ll see why.

Avery and Lilly chat about how they first met (it involves a Shania Twain concert and jello shots), how discomfort and change are stepping stones to success, and why Lilly refuses to be put into a box.

On this episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery is joined by Lauren Chan, a career chameleon who's worked as a model, fashion editor, brand founder and inclusivity spokesperson. Recently, Lauren also became the first queer, plus-size Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie.

Avery speaks to Lauren about her journey going from small-town Canada to becoming the fashion news editor at Glamour, a role where she pushed for size inclusivity in the magazine's content as well as what prompted her to start Henning, her luxury, size-inclusive fashion brand that was recently acquired by Universal Standard.

Plus, the two chat about what it's like to go through major career milestones while your personal life is also going through major transitions, and get into Lauren's current fashion ins and outs.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan never had a part-time job. She never worked retail, or had an after-school job in food service. The story of her actual first job is well known: she submitted a tape to Mindy Kaling’s open casting call for the series Never Have I Ever. She beat out 15,000 other applicants for the role, and has delivered a memorable, comedic, and authentic performance over the show’s last four seasons as Devi, the feisty, awkward and determined nerd—with aspirations of being popular. Devi was no stranger to making a reckless decision for the sake of good grades or chasing a boy.

Avery and Maitreyi chat about how her high school experience in Mississauga, Canada, (close to where Avery is from) was very different from Devi’s, the importance of having a tight inner circle to keep you grounded and her biggest lessons from Never Have I Ever as the show comes to an end.

Plus, Maitreyi opens up about the difficulties of making friends as an adult, and the boundaries she's had to put up to protect herself from being used for her fame.

Follow Maitreyi here and watch the latest and final season of Never Have I Ever on Netfilx now.

Before you roll your eyes at the title of this week's episode—we get it. Influencing, a career that's emerged over the past decade, offers it all: the ability to make lots of money, flexibility, travel, adoring followers and flashy brand deals. But we know we're not the first ones to tell you that it's not all it's cracked up to be. On today's emotional episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery is joined by two of her friends: Jillian Harris and Sarah Nicole Landry for an unedited glimpse at the realities of running successful businesses by leveraging your online persona.

Jillian Harris got her start in restaurant design before becoming the first Canadian Bachelorette on reality TV. Sarah Nicole Landry blogged about motherhood as a divorced mom of three, before quitting her job in publishing to pursue content-creation full time. Today these women run multi-million dollar brands, employ staff and partner with the world's biggest companies. But there are downsides too: non-existent work-life-balance, time away from kids and husbands, near-constant online scrutiny of everything they do. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm still doing this," says Jillian Harris at one point in the convo.

This is not your typical influencer chat. But we think you'll be glad you tuned in.

Follow Jillian here, and Sarah, aka The Birds Papaya here.

LaDavia and Avery chat about big career pivots and how to make your mark at a large company. Plus, LaDavia has some great advice for anyone who's itching to switch industries.
