Girls Can Tell Podcast

The Summer I Turned Pretty

How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? One summer, everything changed for me on the outside. On the inside? Not so much.
This episode explores why we never really feel like we fit, even when the world says we do. If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it, this one’s for you.

Welcome to The Hotel Chicago

I’ve been living in a hotel with my dog, Holly. Not on vacation, but stuck between homes, routines, and tourists in the elevator. 
This week, I discuss holding it together when nothing feels familiar while pretending everything is fine on the air. I’m also realizing that "boring" might have been the best phase all along. 

The Best of GCT

A quick detour before the next full episode drops. These are the moments listeners keep messaging me about. The parts where I apparently said something honest enough that it stuck.
If you’re new, this is a good place to start. If you’ve been here since the beginning, thanks for staying.

We're Only Humans

Usefulish is all about the weird threads between the past and the present. The outdated customs, bizarre social rules, and how none of us are as evolved as we think. This is another show I created and I think it fits with the current Girls Can Tell vibe.
Curiosity, psychology, and how humans are the way humans have always been. 

Can You Find a Real Connection on a Dating App?

My dating app screening process filters out 98% of matches before the first date, and has a 100% success rate with those who make it through. And, no, it's not for sale.
I'll take you from swipes to relationships, how I protect my time and why being picky at 50 is so important. 15 minutes on the reality of dating when you know what you want.

The AI Takeover is Happening Now

AI isn't "just a tool" anymore. And soon, you will be. We lay out the phases from helpful assistant to human obsolescence, why every job's vulnerable, why the experts are full of shit, and what you can do about it now.
This is a 20 minute wake-up call you can't afford to miss. Seriously, I don't know why you're even still reading this, go listen! 

REISSUE: 608 Yous

This is a replay of one of the most popular episodes from days gone by on girls can tell, because episode 27 is taking a considerable amount of time because there's a lot of research going into it. It's going to be an extra important, extra long, action-packed episode and everything you ever dreamed a podcast could be, and almost too much, quite frankly. You might never listen to another podcast again after hearing it, which is next Tuesday. This Tuesday, we're going to listen back to a classic, 608 Yous. I hope you're sitting down.

How to Change Someones Mind

People claim to be open-minded, but try to change their opinion on something, and you'll see the walls come up. Whether it's about relationships or a bad habit, resistance to change is strong. In this episode, we talk about 10 harsh truths about why our brains resist change so fiercely.
Confirmation bias, identity threats, and the agony of admitting we're wrong, we'll explain why facts aren’t enough to change your mind.
Do you think you can change someone's mind? Do you think YOU can change your mind? Listen now, question everything, thank me later.

Can You Ever Really Trust Someone?

In this episode, I get into the truth about broken trust, can you actually rebuild it, or is it gone forever? Whether it's relationships, family, or shady bosses, I break down what happens when trust is lost and why most people want the quick fix instead of doing the work.
Can trust can come back under the right conditions? Maybe, but almost nobody’s willing to do what it actually takes to get there.
Do you even want to rebuild it, or is walking away the smarter move? We'll try and straighten it all out for you. 

Do The Thing That Changes Everything

A listener named Bethany reached out to us. She has been considering starting a podcast for months. She has the name, the microphone, and the concept, but she hasn’t recorded anything yet. She's afraid it won’t be good enough.
Does this sound familiar? This episode is for Bethany and everyone else stuck in the perfectionism, procrastination, paralysis loop.
If you have an idea you haven’t acted on, or a project that’s been on your mind, and all you can think is, what if I do it, and it sucks? You'll want to have a seat, we're going to help you take the first step.
Because the only way to be good at something is to be bad at it first. It's time to get the bad over with.
