Girlfriends and Goals

Hey girlfriends! Today we're discussing black hair in the workplace. In response to a viral post on twitter, where a black woman gives her personal experience of her manager commenting on her hair, we're exploring: the microaggressions we encounter at work, how black women have the unique experience of maneuvering the workplace with conversations about hair and how the simple respect of boundaries can avoid uncomfortable conversations for everyone.

Do you think people should be able to ask questions about your hair at work?

Has anyone tried to touch your hair with or without your permission?

What's the ideal course of corrective action if the topic of hair is bought up at work?

Hey girlfriends! today we're discussing keeping your foot on the gas. We all have the tendency to ease up on the goals we laid out at the beginning of the year and now that we're in the 2nd quarter of 2022, we wanted to check in on: how we're feeling about those goals, how to stay motivated and any courses of action we can take on goals that we haven't been able to keep up with. 

What are some goals you feel like you've been crushing this year?

Is it ok to let go of a goal that no longer interest/serves you? 

How do you know if a goal is too challenging or not challenging enough for you?

Hey girlfriends! Today we're discussing the journey to conceive. Just like all pregnancies are different, women will have varying experiences on their journey to conceiving as well, with some women having more speed bumps on the journey than others (IVF, reoccurring miscarriages', diagnosed medical conditions that make conception difficult like PCOS and Endometriosis). In this episode we talk about: the personal experiences of our special guest, Aleisha on her journey to conceiving, and how society reacts when women don't get pregnant on the timeline they think they should. 

What are some common feelings and emotions when pregnancy is delayed?

How do you handle the pressure and feedback from people on pregnancy?

Hey girlfriends! Today we're discussing pregnancy: what they don't tell you. Pregnancy/giving birth is definitely a miracle, exciting and beautiful experience but we think they're are portions of the experience that are often left out of what's being shared with other women. In this episode we talk about: pregnancy in general, the personal experiences of our special guests, Krisa and Kristen and why we think other women can benefit from hearing about multiple pregnancy experiences. 

Are women typically transparent about their pregnancy experiences?

How did the pandemic affect your new mom experience? 

What do you wish you knew about pregnancy before you conceived?

Hey girlfriends! Today we're discussing the makeup breakup cycle. "The Makeup Breakup Cycle" is when you find yourself at the end of a relationship but, instead of ending it for good, you re-enter the relationship to give it another go. We know many women can relate to finding themselves in this cycle so we wanted to explore why we might be willing to give it another go, what are the consequences of circling back and the messaging that we receive from larger society on this topic.

How do you give feedback to a friend if they're in the makeup breakup cycle?

Is it common to see successful couples after they've gone through making up several times?
