Long-term Love

I Don't Want to Go Back to Normal

Paris is over, the laundry is waiting, and somehow life already feels louder again. In this episode, we talk about the emotional hangover of coming home — the exhaustion, the overstimulation, the anxiety creeping back in, and the strange feeling that the version of you that you loved most might’ve only existed on vacation. From one-napkin lunches and slow Paris dinners to productivity addiction, sunset walks, and trying to hold onto the people we became abroad, this conversation turns into something much bigger than travel. Maybe the trip didn’t change us. Maybe it revealed us. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Butter, Bordeaux, and Breathtaking Paris

In this episode, Jillian and Eliza unpack everything: the magic of waking up in a 17th-century hotel, private tours through the Louvre and Versailles, late-night Eiffel Tower sparkles, and the unexpected joy of simply wandering Parisian streets with wine in hand and nowhere to be. They also open up about anxiety, motherhood, learning to let go, and how travel changed the way they see themselves. Then "the girls" join the conversation to share their side of the trip — including getting lost on the Metro, clubbing until sunrise, making friends with strangers, and discovering a new kind of confidence while navigating Europe on their own. It’s funny, heartfelt, chaotic, and a reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is book the trip. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Emergency Breakthrough

Two girls in matching cheerleading uniforms became lifelong friends after one late-night phone call and an unexpected loyalty test. Some friendships arrive quietly and shape your entire life before you even realize it. As Eliza and Jillian fly home from Paris, they look back at the moment their friendship began, the versions of themselves they used to be, and the women they’re still becoming. A conversation about loyalty, history, reinvention, and the people who make us brave enough to book the trip. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Who the Hell are We Living For?

This week on Girls Tripped, we’re digging into what it really means to let go—of expectations, old definitions of success, and the voices (hi, Mom 👋) that still live rent-free in our heads. From career paths we were supposed to want, to the guilt of choosing ourselves, we’re asking: Are we living our lives… or the ones we inherited? Between honest conversations about motherhood, ambition, and identity (plus a little pre-Paris anxiety), we’re figuring out what’s actually worth holding onto—and what needs to go. Because at some point, you have to ask: Who are you, without everyone else’s expectations? And more importantly… What would you do if you finally let them go? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Fear is loud. Regret is louder.

This week on Girls Tripped, Eliza and Jillian take on fear, regret, and the quiet ways both can shape a life. From life-altering health scares to everyday overthinking, they unpack what fear really looks like—and why the things we don’t do tend to stay with us the longest. Is fear just a moment… while regret lingers? And how often are our biggest “what ifs” the result of playing it safe? As they prepare for Paris, the conversation turns to risk, opportunity, and what it actually means to stop waiting and start living. Because at some point, you either face the fear… or carry the regret. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
