The Gal's Guide

It's officially Emily's birthday month and we are taking a moment to look back on why birthdays are so important to us. From no one showing up to our parties, to getting dumped on your birthday, to taking a dream vacation for Emily's 30th, we ponder why we put so much emphasis on our birthdays and if it's a good idea. We look back on the lessons we've learned over the years and how we can make new goals for the next as we exit our twenties. Enjoy!

It's shocking to learn that trauma isn't just psychological. It's physical too. Our trauma can find ways of getting stored in our bodies we didn't even realize. This week, we're joined by the incredible trauma recovery coach, Ali Kates, who is sitting down to share her story and how we can heal our own traumas and release it from our bodies. We are diving into little t versus big T traumas, how to identify if your experience is trauma, how trauma is often stored and manifested in the body, the ways we can go about releasing it, and so much more.

What exactly is the "ick"? It can be different for everyone. One thing is for sure, we might not always be sure why it happens, but when it happens, we definitely know about it. You might feel suddenly repulsed, put off or cringed out by the person you're dating - that's "the ick" talking.

Today, we're breaking down the ick, sharing the biggest icks we've gotten, sharing some of the gals biggest icks, and how you can use them to your advantage to help get over that lame ex you still have feelings for.

It seems that for so many of us our time becomes occupied by those almost great loves. The types of relationships that are hard to walk away from because it’s almost right; we’re almost there, we’ve almost made it, or even, we’re almost in love. So how do we know when is the right time to walk away from a relationship?

Facing reality is never easy. Today we're breaking down the signs of when it's time to walk away when you're still in love, why you should fight for your own happiness, how to approach this conversation with your partner, and our own experience with this feeling.

Navigating grief can be a difficult journey to conquer alone, especially if you've never done it before. Some think they can bypass pain and grief completely and just skip to joy. Others believe they don’t deserve joy amid so much loss. Joy is not something that must be earned or can only come as result of a prior effort, and grief is not something that needs to exist in a vacuum and consume every waking moment of your life.

Today, we're joined by Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, hosts of the popular podcast Good Mourning where they both shine a light on what grief is really like with honesty, hope and humor. We chat about their new book, how to make the conversation about loss and grief more approachable, putting a positive spin on grief anniversaries, how grief affects a person's body and mind, how to finally take the approach forward towards joy.

New relationships and connections can be so fun and exciting, but sometimes there is a voice in the back of your head reminding you of your past. Unfortunately, a lot of us have experienced trauma and it can be daunting to approach the topic in a new connection. Learning how to navigate this complicated history while dating can be extremely overwhelming. Timing is everything, for you and your partner.

Today, we are joined by Carm from Girls Gotta Heal. She's here to help us understand how to protect yourself when opening up to a new connection, understanding if this is the right person to give your trust to, and how to ultimately trust yourself again. You're a growing person who deserves to feel loved and to love after trauma. We just hope we can help!
