Girls with Opinions

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we're talking about the ever-growing world of self-help trends —the viral theories, catchy phrases, bestselling books, and life-changing promises that seem to take over our feeds every few months. Don't get us wrong—we're not anti-self-help. We both believe in personal growth, therapy, learning, and challenging yourself. But we also think it's important to...

This week on Girls With Opinions , we threw the outline out the window and let the conversation take us wherever it wanted to go… which, unsurprisingly, landed us at concerts. From the eternal struggle of bathroom lines, to accidentally becoming invested in strangers arguing mid-show, to all the concerts we can't wait to attend, this episode is a collection of completely random conversations that...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about what happens to marriage after kids enter the picture — because wow, does it change things. We get into the shift from being partners to being parents, how easy it is to become ships passing in the night, and the way exhaustion, mental load, resentment, and lack of time can quietly impact a relationship. We talk about the parts people do...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions, we’re talking about what it means to be called — or feel like — you’re “too much.” Too emotional. Too loud. Too opinionated. Too intense. Too sensitive. Too excited. Too needy. Too confident. Too honest. Too anything. We get into how often “too much” is used to make people, especially women, shrink themselves into something easier to handle. We talk about th...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about feminism — and yes, we have opinions. We get into what feminism actually means to us, why we proudly identify as feminists, and why it’s so frustrating when people misunderstand, dismiss, or twist the word into something it’s not. This conversation covers the everyday realities of being a woman in society: the double standards, the expec...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something we fully support: lazy days . You know the kind — no big plans, no productivity pressure, no need to become your “best self” before noon. Just rest, snacks, comfort shows, couch time, and letting yourself exist without turning the day into a self-improvement project. We talk about why we love lazy days, why we crave them, and w...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something a lot of people avoid at all costs: confrontation. For many of us, confrontation feels negative, dramatic, or even wrong — something to be avoided to keep the peace. But what if confrontation isn’t the problem… it’s how we approach it? We unpack why confrontation gets such a bad reputation, how avoiding it can actually create m...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , ERIN'S FEELING ANGSTY!!! And we’re talking about a feeling that’s hard to explain but incredibly common: being stuck in the space between where you are… and where you want to be. That tension of knowing you want more — more creativity, more alignment, more change — but not quite knowing how to get there yet. Or feeling like you can see the next version of y...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re diving into something that feels very real right now: anxiety culture. Because let’s be honest… no shit everyone’s anxious. Look at the world we’re living in. Of course people are overwhelmed, overstimulated, and trying to keep up with everything around them. Anxiety makes sense. But we also get into the other side of it — how the way we talk about an...

This week on Girls With Opinions , we’re doing something a little different… absolutely nothing structured. No agenda. No theme. Just us talking about whatever comes to mind — which somehow turned into a full episode. From random “icks” our husbands give us, to recent documentaries we’ve watched, to concert vibes, to (unfortunately) centipedes… we truly cover it all. This episode is chaotic, unfil...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something everyone wants but no one really agrees on: confidence. Is it something you have… or something you build? Is it mindset? Experience? Delusion? We have thoughts. We unpack what confidence actually looks like in real life (not just on social media), why so many people think they’re “missing” it, and how confidence is often less a...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we thought we were just going to talk about fitness trends we loved and regretted… and then it turned into a much bigger conversation. From Beachbody days to today’s GLP-1 era, we’re unpacking how fitness culture has evolved — and how our perspectives have changed right along with it. We talk about the trends we bought into, what we look back on with a litt...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something that can feel peaceful… or deeply uncomfortable: being alone. We unpack the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and why so many people struggle to sit with themselves without distraction. From constantly needing plans to filling every quiet moment, we talk about how being alone can bring up more than we expect —...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about the trend we’ve all seen (and probably tried): romanticizing your life. Buying the flowers. Lighting the candle. Making your coffee feel like a whole experience. On one hand — we love it. On the other… is it always as empowering as it sounds? We unpack what it actually means to romanticize your life, where the idea came from, and how it...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re calling ourselves (and probably you) out: why are we all doing so much… all the time? From overcommitting to overthinking to trying to be everything for everyone, we’re unpacking what it really looks like to be in a constant state of doing too much. And more importantly — why it feels so hard to stop. We talk about the pressure to be productive, the i...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something that can be incredibly uncomfortable but also very real: outgrowing people. As life changes, priorities shift, and we evolve, it’s natural for some relationships to change too. But that doesn’t make it easy. We unpack the emotional tension that comes with realizing you’re not the same person you used to be — and that some relat...

This week on Girls With Opinions , we’re diving into one of the most talked-about (and misunderstood) concepts in the wellness space: intuitive eating. Is it freedom? Is it unrealistic? Is it misused? Is it empowering? Is it confusing? We have thoughts. In this episode, we unpack what intuitive eating actually means versus how it’s often portrayed online. We talk about the difference between honor...

This week on Girls With Opinions , we’re letting it out. No deep dives. No over-analyzing. Just a very honest, slightly unhinged (but relatable) conversation about the random things currently irritating us. From minor social media trends to everyday behaviors that absolutely do not pass the vibe check — we’re sharing what’s been testing our patience lately. Because sometimes the most healing thing...

The pressure to “bounce back” after hard seasons, big changes, or major life events is everywhere — and honestly? We’re over it. In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re unpacking bounce-back culture — the idea that you’re supposed to return to your old body, old productivity, old energy, and old life as quickly as possible… as if nothing happened. We talk about how this mindset shows up aft...

Let’s be honest — most of us want to be liked. But when does wanting connection turn into bending, shrinking, and abandoning yourself? In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about the deep-rooted need to be liked, where it comes from, and how it quietly shapes the way we show up in relationships, work, and everyday life. We unpack how the desire for approval often gets mistaken for...

In this episode, we’re sharing our opinions about overexplaining—why so many of us do it, where it comes from, and how it often shows up without us even realizing it. We talk about how overexplaining can be rooted in people-pleasing, fear of being misunderstood, or feeling responsible for how others perceive us. We also explore how overexplaining shows up differently in friendships, family dynamic...

In this episode, we’re sharing our opinions about therapy—why we love it, how our perspectives on it have evolved over time, and why finding the right therapist can make all the difference. We talk honestly about how therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and how what you need from therapy can change across different seasons of life. From early expectations to deeper, more nuanced understan...

In this episode, we’re diving into our thoughts on pop culture—and how dramatically it’s changed from when we were growing up to now. With constant access to information through social media, smartphones, and 24/7 commentary, pop culture feels closer, louder, and more personal than ever. We talk about how this level of access can blur boundaries, create a false sense of intimacy with celebrities,...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re talking about something that affects so many women — yet is still wildly misunderstood, minimized, or brushed off: perimenopause and women’s health. We dive into how often perimenopause is dismissed as “just stress,” “just anxiety,” or “just getting older,” and how frustrating (and exhausting) it can be to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system...

In this episode of Girls With Opinions , we’re unpacking people pleasing — what it actually is, why it’s so hard to let go of, and how it quietly impacts your mental health, relationships, and sense of self. We talk about how people pleasing often gets mistaken for being kind, flexible, or “easygoing,” when in reality it’s rooted in fear, self-protection, and the need for approval. We break down w...
