In this LIVE episode of Girlfriends of a Certain Age, Jessica and Flesche dive into the iconic world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, inspired by Season 2 of the hit Netflix docuseries. As Gen X women, we grew up admiring the sparkle—but now we’re also questioning the pay gap, rigid beauty standards, and pressure to conform.
Flesche shares her personal history as a high school cheerleader, and Jessica opens up about her lifelong discomfort with forced femininity and silence. It’s a candid, emotional, and nuanced look at what it really means to be a cheerleader in the U.S.A. then and now.
