Prosecco in mugs. Donuts for dinner. Existential dread before 6 p.m. Welcome to our pre-luteal TED Talk.

This week the girls go from pre-luteal rage and spilled coffee betrayals to a British Vogue think piece asking if having a boyfriend is officially embarrassing. They dive into why feeling safe is sexy and pink eye is not. And cover why Twilight actually explains how women love, why Patrick Swayze ruined dating for everyone, and how breadsticks became a metaphor for emotional neglect.

It’s chaotic, champagne-fueled therapy with equal parts existential feminism, nostalgia, and filthy punchlines.

Girlhood is awesome, being a woman...requires strategy.

A BIG Thank you to our strategic partners.

This week, we spiral from Love Is Blind to what we give up for growth, why compromise isn't weakness, and how friendship teaches nervous system safety. We talk about the trades you make for peace, what you give up to go up, and how sometimes pigs in a blanket are your real non-negotiables.

Then we detour into the anthropology of dating—why no one lets a man pick them up anymore, how clean-hair girls and DoorDash girls coexist, and the text from a hot new guy that derailed the last five minutes of the pod.

It’s self-awareness, sarcasm, and soft pants season.

This week we’re talking men, microbes, and moral dilemmas. From that time Jess accidentally seduced the French rugby team, to the ongoing hotel-barn-door crisis designed by men who’ve never held in a poop. We spiral into guilt-free rest, unsolicited advice, male audacity on dating apps, and the shocking science of tiny taints. Plus: why we apologize before being confident, and how 39 feels like a home renovation show you didn’t sign up for.

Also: your uterus doesn’t age, your eggs are fine, and we are done pre-emptively shrinking our power. It's feminism, feral energy, and Costco appreciation hour.

We sat down with Robin, founder of LIT & Aesthetics, to talk about what really goes on behind the glow-up. From oil & gas to owning one of Houston’s hottest med spas, she’s redefining what confidence looks like. We’re busting Botox myths, unpacking the judgment around “aging naturally,” and talking about what it really means to feel LIT inside and out.Find her:

We spiral (politely) about mid-tier work hotels clearly designed by men, why tubs vanished, and Billie Jo’s 1am Texas-toast-crouton girl dinner. Then: “no one’s priority” fallout, boundaries that work (and the nervous-system panic when they do), plus the “it’s fine” spell you cast in Target aisle 16C. Also: legal-billboard chaos (“Get Brain”), the French-speaking man debate, and our pitch for non-transferable dating cards with built-in safety metadata.

This week we spiral from why jeans are dead to cuffing season cravings, the invisible load of single women, and the idea that maybe we’re just… right. We pitch our referral-only dating app, imagine a husband stork, and roast the Home Depot parking lot like the wild frontier it is. Plus: cat energy vs. dog energy, being no one’s priority, and how to balance ambition with a desire to just rot on the couch.

Our quarterly man-mic is LIVE. We brought on a gym owner who can deadlift feelings AND barbells.

We sit down with Terrance, owner of Warren T Fitness, to talk through modern masculinity, why men pull away when it’s good, how they process stress, and what actually shuts them down in hard conversations. We also hit perimenopause training myths, the “intimidated by strong women” question, apologies that land, and the invisible load women carry. It’s reps, recovery, and real talk.

This week we sit down with our new bestie (and sponsor!) Dr. Tiffany — aka the perimenopause pharmacist who finally explains why our hormones make us feel like Beyoncé one week and a cave troll the next.

We cover cycle syncing: when to crush PRs and when to Netflix + moomoo, hormone testing : when to start, what to ask, and how "normal" doesn't always mean optimal, and why “girl dinner” might need its own hormone phase.

Tag a hot girl who deserves a Dino Nugget + Hormone Panel.
