Don't Quote Her

It’s the holiday season, which means family gatherings, unsolicited questions, and at least one person asking  “so… when are you having kids?”   before you’ve even finished your drink. So instead of dropping a new episode this week, I’m running back one of my favorites from Season 1:  The Child-Free Clap Back . Because nothing hits harder during the holidays than being reminded that being over 30...

Episode 08:Big in the Gym Calling All Plus-Size Gym Girlies This isn’t a fitness episode — it’s a real one. In this unfiltered file, Laurel talks about what it actually means to be a plus-size woman in the gym. The confidence and the insecurity. The discipline it takes to keep showing up. The stereotypes, the side-eye, the early mornings, the sore bodies, and the quiet wins no one sees. This episo...

Season 2, Episode 7 — “My Nervous System Has Entered the Chat" In this episode, I’m unpacking the  fight-or-flight mode  my body catapulted into the second my ex reappeared — yes, even though he was only around for a minute. Or… was I stuck in this cycle from the very first day I met him? 😭 The girlies who know, know: one text, one memory, one  hey stranger  can throw your whole routine off....

Ep 06: Maybe the Problem Is Me (But Like… Probably Not) Let’s be honest — I’ve reached my  “absolutely not”  era. In this episode, I’m breaking down all the ridiculous, bare-minimum, emotionally unavailable nonsense I’ve convinced myself to tolerate in the past… and why that version of me is officially retired. From men who think “what are you doing?” is foreplay, to the ones who call emotional ma...

Flirting in the Wild (and Other Crimes Against Humanity) They say flirting is a skill. I say it’s an Olympic sport — and I’m competing without training. This week, I’m diving into all things awkward flirting: from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, to overthinking every micro-expression. I share my most cringe moments (including one that still haunts me at night), what I’ve learned from dat...

This episode is all about Hinge prompts — the red flags, the icks, and yes, my own problematic responses. Because apparently, sarcasm and emotional walls aren’t considered flirty? Wild. I'm decoding Hinge prompts — theirs and mine. From “I’m overly competitive about everything” to my own passive-aggressive masterpieces, it’s safe to say the call is coming from inside the app.

Episode 2: The Marriage Files Part Two The Marriage Files: Part Two picks up right where we left off — and let’s just say, things get messy. Katie opens up about her second marriage, a whirlwind of cheating, lies, pregnancies (not hers), and straight-up chaos that even included a prison sentence. We unpack it all — the betrayal, the lessons, and the healing — before diving into how our past relati...

Season 2, Episode 2: The Marriage Files — Part 1 with special guest Katie Robertson In this two-part conversation, Laurel sits down with her longtime friend Katie Robertson to unpack the messy, complicated, and sometimes hilarious reality of marriage and divorce. Katie opens up about her two failed marriages—what went wrong, what she learned, and how it shaped the way she sees love now. They talk...

🎙️ Episode 01: Girl Code 101 Season 2 is here — and it’s officially a  one-woman show.  That’s right, it’s just me, your host, flying solo (and slightly terrified, but also thriving). In this episode, we’re kicking things off with  Girl Code 101  — the unspoken rules, the silent agreements, and the universal laws of womanhood that keep the group chat drama-free (most of the time). From “don’t date...

We made it to the season finale—and honestly, we can’t believe you stuck around this long. Season 1 has been a ride: hot takes, questionable advice, and way too many side tangents we probably could’ve cut (but didn’t). Don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye—it’s just a short break. Season 2 kicks off  October 7th , with new episodes dropping every Tuesday. What’s in store? Guests who are either brave or...

Episode 12: Polar Opposites, Perfect Match Last week kicked our ass, but we made it to Friday (barely). With a long weekend ahead, fall creeping in, and content creators making us feel like we’re flopping on social media, we’re here to rant, laugh, and be our unfiltered selves. For this episode, we’re giving you what you asked for—our story. How we met, why we got closer than everyone else, and ho...

Ep 11 – Delulu is the Solulu We’ve made it to ELEVEN episodes, besties. Like… is this our Law & Order era? Do we get 118 seasons? Somebody call Dick Wolf. This week we’re diving headfirst into the internet’s favorite personality trait: being delulu. Is it manifestation? Is it clown behavior? Or is it just the Gen Z remix of “fake it til you make it”? (Spoiler: it might be all three.) We’re tal...

Ep 10 – Who’s the Princess Now? You know how women get labeled “high-maintenance” for wanting the bare minimum? Well… turns out the men are the real princesses. 👑 In this episode, we’re breaking down the modern-day fairytale where HE wants to be courted, coddled, and crowned as the main character in the relationship. From “pick me” behavior to emotional support expectations that rival a Disney sc...

Episode 09: TikTok Told Me to Break Up With My Boyfriend Apparently TikTok knows everything—what you should eat, how you should heal, and yes…whether or not you should dump your man. Social media trends are running our lives right now, and it’s not just relationships—people are letting 30-second clips dictate their friendships, self-worth, and even their “dream life” aesthetic. In this episode, we...

Episode 08: The Child-Free Clap Back So apparently if you don’t have kids, you’re  not a real woman ? Yeah, we’re calling BS on that. In this episode, we’re shutting down the outdated idea that womanhood starts and ends with being someone’s wife or someone’s mom. We may be child-free, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love kids—it just means we love choice, freedom, and defining womanhood on our own...

You know those friends who swear they’re in your corner… but you haven’t seen them in your comments since 2018? The ones who skip right past your big moments but post a 7-slide Instagram story for their favorite celebrity’s birthday? Yeah. We’re talking about them . This week, we’re calling out the “supportive” crew who somehow has all the time in the world to repost self-help garbage from their f...

This time, Brittany’s asking the questions — and I get into things I don’t usually talk about. Like what it was like losing my dad. What it means to be labeled the “mean friend” just because I’m not overly emotional or soft on the surface. And how people assume I don’t care because I’ve got tattoos and I can deadlift 470 pounds — but let’s be real: I’m one of the most caring, loyal people you’ll e...

She’s the quiet one… until she’s not. In this episode, we introduce Brittany—aka Ms. Wolves—the more reserved half of Don't Quote Us . Introverted, structured, and a self-proclaimed black sheep, Brittany opens up about the moments that shaped her: her childhood, the parenting styles she’d never repeat, and the quiet strength it takes to walk your own path. She’s spent the last decade under a b...

Let’s talk about it, babes. The late-night paragraph essays, the “can I vent real quick?” texts, the trauma dumping on a man who still doesn’t know your favorite color. In this episode, we unpack our tendency to overshare in relationships — from crying over dudes who wouldn’t even hold the door open, to mistaking “good listener” for “licensed mental health professional.” 😅 We get into how unloadi...

On this episode of Don’t Quote Us , we’re diving deep into gym culture chaos—the overpriced, overpopulated, under-air-conditioned grind we keep showing up for. We’re talking about how our dream gym includes A/C that works , free parking , and vibes that aren’t ruined by a pack of unsupervised 19-year-olds filming supersets like it’s MTV Spring Break . For the price we’re paying, we should own part...

Don’t Quote Us is what happens when two women with strong opinions and zero chill hit record. We’re not therapists. We’re not here to fix your life. But we are here to call out the red flags, laugh at the absurdity of modern dating, and roast every man who skips leg day like it’s a hobby. In our first episode, "New Ick Unlocked – The Ick Factor," we dive into the petty, the cringe, and t...

We’re back, bitches. And we’re tired—but like, in a sexy, successful, emotionally unwell kind of way. In this episode, we’re talking burnout, boundaries, and the illusion of the “dream job.” Spoiler alert: if your dream involves PTO requests and Slack pings, it’s a nightmare . We’re dragging corporate culture, exposing toxic office politics, and laughing through the existential crisis of working y...

#0: This Is Gonna Piss People Off (and that’s fine) Welcome to the episode where we throw the rulebook in the trash. You’re meeting two women—Laurel and Brittany—who are 37, strong as hell, loud on purpose, and done pretending to fit the mold. We’re not influencers. We’re not life coaches. And we’re definitely not trying to sell you a green juice cleanse. In this intro episode, we’re setting the t...
