    In this live audience episode of Gal on the Prowl, Jessica Spawn sits down with Tanya McFadden of Kava Culture Lewisville and a special guest kava-tender for a conversation about sobriety, community, and the growing movement toward alcohol-free social spaces.

    We explore the history and ritual of kava and why so many people are searching for a deeper connection in a culture centered around drinking.

    This episode dives into:

    • sobriety and identity
    • social pressure around alcohol
    • sober-curious lifestyles
    • the origins of kava
    • creating intentional community spaces
    • why people gather together

    Enjoy the meaningful conversations about reinvention, wellness, and belonging.

  • Market like a Mother...
    2026/05/05

    Send us Fan Mail

    Sit down with the founders of 'Mom Brain Media' to find out what it really means to build a brand and a life without relying on outdated “bro sales tactics,” and instead lean into authenticity, intuition, and connection. This is a conversation about trusting your voice, owning your story, and creating in a way that actually feels aligned.

    These women challenge the narrative around “mom brain,” reframing it not as forgetfulness, but as expansion. Motherhood sharpens you, deepens you, and stretches your capacity in ways that make you more powerful, not less.

    What does it really mean to “market like a mother ... ”? How do you build something meaningful while raising a family, carrying the mental load, and still holding onto your own identity?

    This episode is for the woman who knows she’s capable of more and is ready to build it her way.

    Special Thank You to Our Alpha Cat Sponsor
    A HUGE shout-out to Kava Culture Lewisville.

    Kava Culture Lewisville is a place to gather, unwind, and experience an alcohol-free environment rooted in tradition and intention.

  • The Show That Almost Wasn’t: Resilience on the Runway with Ruby Bhandari
    2026/02/16

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when a major fashion show almost doesn’t happen?

    This month on Gal on the Prowl, I sit down with Dallas-based Indian fashion designer Ruby Bhandari, founder of Silk Threads, to talk about passion, philanthropy, perseverance, and the power of community.

    Just weeks before her highly anticipated Fall Fashion Show, Ruby was involved in a car accident that brought promotion and momentum to a halt. It genuinely looked like the show might not go on.

    But it did.
    And it sold out.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Building a fashion brand from the ground up
    • Blending Indian tradition with modern design
    • Leading with faith during uncertainty
    • Overcoming setbacks as an entrepreneur
    • The importance of finding your community, and rising together

    This conversation is about more than fashion. It’s about resilience. It’s about choosing positivity when circumstances feel heavy. And it’s about what happens when people rally around you when you need it most.

    If you’ve ever faced a setback right before a breakthrough, this episode is for you.

    Watch now and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs encouragement today!

  • Love, Loss, and the Holidays We Never Imagined - Holding space for grief while honoring what was.
    2025/12/15

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this powerful and intimate episode of Gal on the Prowl, host Jessica Spawn sits down with filmmaker and film educator Natasha Paris for a conversation every woman needs, especially during the holidays.

    While the season is often portrayed as cheerful and full of connection, many women experience it through the lens of grief, loss, and quiet heartache. This episode explores what happens when the holidays don’t look like the movies, and how we can better support the people we love (and ourselves) during those moments.

    Jessica and Natasha share a rich creative history dating back to 2011. Their journey has included film festivals, creative wins, setbacks, and even traveling to Paris, France for Filmapalooza... but this episode focuses on something deeper than filmmaking.

    In this conversation, we talk about:

    • Navigating grief during the holidays
    • How to support someone experiencing loss (without saying the wrong thing)
    • Letting go of the pressure to “be okay”
    • Friendship, creativity, and showing up with compassion

    Join the conversation! If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and share it with someone who might need it. You never know who’s quietly struggling this season.

    Follow 'Gal on the Prowl' for more heart-led conversations, creativity, and real talk.

    2025/11/10

    Send us Fan Mail

    The holidays can feel like a minefield when you’re navigating sobriety, but this episode of Gal on the Prowl proves it’s not just about surviving, it’s about thriving.

    Join host Jessica Spawn as she sits down with two incredible guests:

    -Brian Cuban, author, advocate, and nearly two decades sober, who opens up about his journey through childhood trauma, shame, bulimia, and addiction, and how he found true recovery.

    -Julie Robinson, founder of Beyond the Bar, a unique alcohol-free event space redefining what it means to celebrate consciously.

    Together, they unpack how to show up for your sober self (and your sober guests), make mocktails as festive as champagne, and build inclusive spaces that celebrate connection rather than consumption.

    Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply supporting someone who is, this episode offers real talk, practical tools, and hope for the holidays.

    Listen now to learn how to create joy, belonging, and beautiful memories — no hangover required.


    *Bonus: Julie shares her go-to mocktail recipe that tastes like a celebration in a glass!

    This episode of Gal on the Prowl, we’re pouncing into the world of sparkle, style, and serious creativity with the fabulous Tiffany Forsberg.

    Tiffany is a Dallas jewelry designer, fashionista, vintage curator, film producer, and all-around creative cat who’s always chasing her next passion project. She grew up thrifting hidden gems with her mom, fell in love with Old Hollywood glamour, and now channels that magic into designing fine jewelry that’s elegant, timeless, and inspired by nature.

    But her creativity doesn’t stop there, she’s styled music videos, worked on film sets, launched two of her own brands (@forsbergfinejewelry + @forsbergfinevintage), and even served as a judge on The Blox! She’s living proof that you can build multiple creative ventures and still keep your paws grounded in real life.

    If you’re into fashion, entrepreneurship, vintage glam, or chasing your creative calling, this episode is for YOU.
