Girls Just Wanna

This week, The Girls are joined by Robyn Lukens, sous chef & kitchen manager of Goldleaf Savory & Sweet. We chat about the restaurant industry, past jobs (including a school cafeteria!), menu planning, and working with friends. Plus, lots of advice for pairing flavors together! Enjoy!

This week the Girls catch up on all the usuals - what they're binge-watching, what they're picking up from good ole Trader Joe's, and their hot takes on getting your makeup done by a professional. We also have our first Lady of the Week for season 2 AND dot dot dot our way into job search advice (including advice gone... awry). Enjoy!

Hannah Strong is a broadcast meteorologist for WDRB-TV in Louisville, KY. The Girls talk to her about her favorite weather events, why she got into this type of meteorology, and the challenges of working in television. Plus, we get answers to your burning TikTok weather questions! Enjoy!

The Girls are joined by paleontologists (and bffs!) Dr. Meaghan Wetherell and Amy Atwater to chat prehistoric animals and present day careers in paleontology. We get into their MANY projects, what it's like to publish research with your best friend, and how the field of paleontology should (and can) be more inclusive. Katie & Aurelia also chat female friendships - the moment you know you're gonna be friends for life and the moments when maybe you don't. Enjoy!

PS - check out Meaghan & Amy on Instagram!

This week, the Girls are joined by Rachel Enneking, Photographer & Content Creator for Patachou, Inc, a restaurant group in Indianapolis. We chat about food photographer (think you know the worst kind of food to photograph?), working at a woman-owned company, and how Patachou is disrupting the restaurant industry. Katie & Aurelia also dive deeper on these topics in a new segment... Enjoy! 

Your favorite girls, Aurelia & Katie, are back for Season 2! We have a lot of exciting stuff planned, including some rockstar guests, and we can't wait to share it all with you. This episode is just a short & sweet little nugget to get you used to the sounds of our voices yet again. Oh, and we do a really quick (lol jk) recap of all the TV we watched while we were away. Enjoy!

It's a bonus episode, babes! The Girls love movies and couldn't wait a whole week before recapping what went down at the Oscars this year. Katie is joined by the wonderful, friend of the podcast, Joe Wagner to break down the whole ceremony. We talk red carpet, ceremony changes, speeches, winners, and more! Tune in to see if you agree with us or to catch up on the awards show you missed. Enjoy! 

Cheers to the end of Season 1 of GJW! We're capping off this season with guest Claire Winternheimer, who works as a Teen Librarian in Evansville, IN. We get into all of your fav YA books & characters and chat about what goes into been a librarian for teens (hint: it's so much more than just books!). Oh and there might be mention of a haunted library. Guess you'll have to listen to find out! Enjoy!

This week, Katie & Aurelia are joined by Kelly Poduch to talk all about working in politics. Kelly worked with the Democratic Caucus at the Indiana Statehouse and now works with the Democratic Party in Wisconsin. We talk all about what it's like to work with a minority party, the challenges of working in politics, what keeps her motivated, and her White House internship! Katie & Aurelia also chat favorite pies, new recipes, and a very special Lady of the Week.  The female-owned business we shout out this week is: She's Birdie! It's a personal safety alarm to help women stay safe and while we hope one day it's not needed anymore, for now you can check it out here: shesbirdie.com (PS - this isn't a paid ad, we just think it's worth knowing about!)

CW: sexual assault, abuse, trafficking

Y'all, have we got an episode for you! This week, Katie & Aurelia are joined by Shaunestte Terrell, an attorney in Indianapolis who works with survivors of sexual assault and was a former prosecutor of human trafficking. We talk Law & Order SVU, undercover trafficking investigations, and how she helps survivors navigate the legal system. There is A LOT of amazing information in this episode and we are so glad Shaunestte was able to help us unpack these tough topics. Katie & Aurelia also talk about being pooped on by birds, figuratively and literally, their recent movie watches (we wish Amy Poehler was our mom!), and drag queen impersonations. Enjoy!
