Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson

Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson

Are you in your “Everything Era”... aka, that wildly confusing decade-ish where you have to make some of the most significant decisions of your life – all at the same time? Your 20s and 30s are full of big transitions — career pivots, changing cities, wondering if/when you’ll get married, having kids, not having kids, losing friendships, building new ones… It’s a lot. And somehow, the world expects you to make all the right decisions with no real guidance (and a highlight reel constantly playing in the background). Here’s the good news: You don’t have to figure it out alone. Introducing the “Girls Night” (hosted by me, Stephanie May Wilson, 9x author and TEDx speaker!) – the podcast version of the group chat that fills your cup instead of draining it. You know that rare kind of girls' night…the one where you laugh until your stomach hurts, cry a little, get real about what’s going on in your life, and leave feeling like you can actually do this? That’s exactly what the Girls Night Podcast is all about. With over 7.3 million downloads and 3,900 five-star reviews, it’s where women in their “what-am-I-doing-with-my-life” era come to feel less alone and way more equipped. Because let’s be honest.. googling “What am I doing with my life?” at 2 AM isn’t working, and you know it. As listener Adrienne puts it: “It feels like being welcomed into the coolest inner circle of incredible women who want you to be the best version of yourself possible. Stephanie and her pals make you feel loved, seen, and heard. The episodes are honest, they're raw, and they're hilarious.” So, if your brain feels noisy and your heart feels uncertain, put your earbuds in. You’ve got a Girls Night waiting.

Today we're tackling something I know so many of you are dealing with as we head into summer family gathering season. Have you ever been at a family event when someone - let's call her Aunt Sharon - starts asking those pointed questions that somehow manage to hit every single insecurity you've been trying not to think about? You know the ones: 'So, are you seeing anyone special?' followed immediately by 'You're not getting a...

Have you ever scrolled through Instagram seeing friend groups on vacation together, celebrating everything as a unit, and genuinely wondered, "How do they all live in the same city? How did they find each other? And how can I find my people?" Maybe you've moved somewhere new and you're still making small talk with acquaintances months later. Or you're tired of being the one who always has to reach out first, scheduling friend...

Hey friend! Welcome to Girls Night! It's hot here in Granada, Spain - my family and I moved here last summer - which means I'm instantly desperate for a pool. I cannot wait to go swimming this summer, and as we speak, I'm trying to wiggle one last weekend getaway out of our hotel points before we head back to the US for the summer. But naturally, just like summer means swimming, swimming means swimsuits, which means we're all...

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re addressing one of the most common root causes of tension and resentment in marriage.

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night! This last April I wrote a book called Create A Life You Love: How to quiet outside voices so you can finally hear your own. In the book, we talked about the voices we grow up with as women — and there are a lot of them — all telling us who we should be, what we should look like, how we should behave, how we should spend our time, what we’re allowed to do, what we’re not allowed to do, and more...
