Indi Gage resides in Melbourne, Australia, and is a co-host of the popular podcast Hot Girl's Theory. In her own words, she identifies as a "goth, bimbo, academic," with interests in gender studies, intersectional feminism, activism, destigmatizing sex work, and body positivity.  In this episode, Indi gives the hosts a passionate lesson on a few social justice issues, how she and her co-host Ash met and cultivated a friendship as adults, & why self-confidence (and a little inspo from Megan thee Stallion) helped originate Hot Girl's Theory.  Overall, Indi was just a badass new connection for our #RealLife community! 

Their HGT podcast bio says it best:  "Listen as these babes (Ash and Indi) take you through a range of social, political, sexual and fundamental topics to challenge your thinking, encourage you to critique your own behaviours and grow along with them."

But first...enjoy OUR conversation here with Indi!

Zachary Brinkman (he/they) is an Industrial Designer, aspiring inventor, & host of the "Better Left Unsaid" comedy podcast.  On his show, he invites guests to share embarrassing stories with his audience...and you bet Abbie & Daniélle shared a few of their own in this episode of #RealLife!  This convo was so fun - the three podcasters discuss creativity, joy, and why you should (almost) always prioritize your happiness.  At the end, we even get a little nostalgic with our love of the 90's, novelty items from that era, and favorite childhood toys growing up.  Please enjoy this episode with Zach!

Jasmine Swyningan has been a part of the gymnastics world for so long, that she tells people she's been "Tumbling out of the womb."  Over the past three decades she has somehow been involved in the sport as not only a young athlete, but later an NCAA college competitor, a judge, and now the Director of Judging Advancement for the advocacy organization, Brown Girls Do Gymnastics.  Oh yeah, and she also holds down a full time job after receiving two Master's Degrees!  Jasmine's passion for the sport and creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all athletes - including other Black, Brown and Biracial human beings - is evident in this interview with Abbie & Daniélle. We know all #RealLife fans will learn something new after listening!

Abbie & Daniélle - inspired by the beautiful summertime weather - reflect over the year thus far.  This led into an impromptu conversation where they shared a few of their bucket list items, goals, and other hopes/ideas for the upcoming years. Abbie & Daniélle may be extra giggly this episode, on account of partaking in a few celebratory drinks....but truly they were only celebrating getting through the work week in one piece (post-Bachelorette party weekend). What can we say - our 30's are a fun time!

Abbie & Daniélle reflect over the last 14 years of their friendship, and check-in on ways they've grown personally since college.  They both share experiences they would handle differently today, and why it's so important as females to know your value and self-worth.  Other topics include: childhood friendships, love languages, traveling adventures, nose piercings, how Gen Z continues to kill it, and why the United States needs to go to therapy and do some self-reflection already!!!  (Because hey - if we can do it over a decade worth of life stories, America's definitely got work to do coming to terms with the last 246 years).
