Our Opinions About ... Pop Psychology
This week on Girls With Opinions, we’re diving into the world of pop psychology — the TikToks, soundbites, Instagram infographics, and trendy self-help takes that everyone swears by… but don’t always tell the whole story. 👀From overused therapy buzzwords to misapplied diagnoses to the way social media makes everything a “trauma response,” we’re talking about what pop psychology gets right, what it gets very wrong, and how to actually use psychology in a way that supports your growth (not overwhelms you with labels).We also share our own hot takes on the concepts we love, the ones...

Our Opinions About... When Life Doesn't Go As Planned
So what happens when your five-year plan… completely falls apart? 😬In this episode, we’re talking about all the ways life doesn’t go as planned — from unexpected career pivots to “failed” relationships, big identity shifts, and the messy process of starting over.We get real about how those moments that feel like detours often end up being redirections — the kind that lead you exactly where you’re meant to go (even if it doesn’t feel that way at first).It’s equal parts reflection, humor, and real talk about trusting the timing of your life — a...

Our Opinions About ... The Lies We Believed About Dieting in Our 20's
If we could go back and talk to our 20-something selves, we’d have a lot to say about diets, body image, and all the “rules” we thought we had to follow to be healthy.In this week’s episode of Girls With Opinions, we’re unpacking the biggest lies we believed about dieting in our 20s — from “1200 calories is enough” to “you have to earn your food.” We talk about how those beliefs shaped our relationships with food and fitness, and what it’s looked like to unlearn them in our 30s.This one’s part confessional, par...

You Can’t Shapeshift Your Way to Success
In fitness, wellness, and life, it’s tempting to shapeshift—constantly bending yourself to fit in, adapt to expectations, or be who you think others want you to be. But here’s the truth: you can’t shapeshift your way to lasting success.Real change comes from authenticity. From knowing yourself deeply and making choices that align with who you are—not who you think you should be. When your wellness journey is rooted in someone else’s standards or approval, consistency crumbles. But when it’s rooted in your values and identity, growth becomes sustainable and powerful.

Wellness Isn’t Linear—Especially in Seasons of Grief
We love to imagine wellness as a straight path: consistent workouts, clean nutrition, steady progress. But life isn’t linear—and neither is healing. Especially in seasons of grief, everything can feel heavier: your body, your mind, your routines, even your motivation.In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to navigate your fitness and wellness journey while also carrying loss. Grief impacts more than just your emotions—it affects your energy, your body, your habits, and how you show up in the world. And that doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human.
