24: Girl Talk | Prom Queens

We put on some prom-ish dresses and went back into the vault to talk all things prom. This episode is all things prom: promposals, dresses, gym decorating, and how the “popular girls” at Kyra’s school fully conned her into doing all the work for their prom. From gym proms and bowling alley after parties to Shedd Aquarium and yacht-level extra, we’re comparing experiences—and realizing it all felt the exact same at the time. We get into: * how we got asked * being used vs. actually being liked (and finding out from your brother) * mean girl energy that we didn’t even clock at the time * and the realization that none of it mattered as much as we thought It’s funny, crazy behavior for highschoolers, and a reminder that high school felt like your whole world… until it wasn’t. Drop your prom stories below (we know you have one), and don’t forget to like, comment & subscribe.

In this episode, we get into: * The unspoken rules every girl just instinctively knows * Why you instantly adopt a crying girl as your own * The magic of compliment culture * Funny, chaotic, and wholesome bathroom stories * And why this space feels like such a safe haven for women - and how we stay safe when we aren't with our girlies This one’s for every girl who’s ever said “wait, come with me to the bathroom.” Follow us, share with your girls, and welcome back to Shelaborate 💕

21: Girl Talk | Finally Free DD214

After 10 years in the Army, Kathleen is officially closing the military chapter of her life. In this episode, Kath reflects on her journey from Clemson ROTC to becoming a Field Artillery officer, deploying to Afghanistan with a Cultural Support Team, and later transitioning into Civil Affairs. She shares the highs that defined her career—operating alongside special operations teams, forming unbreakable friendships, and experiencing the kind of moments that change how you see the world forever. But this conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of military life: the pressure of being a woman in a male-dominated field, the isolation of leadership, toxic work environments, and the burnout that can come from constantly carrying responsibility for others. Kath and Kyra talk about the lessons that came from those experiences—learning that nobody really knows what they’re doing at first, that you can’t control how others perceive you, and that sometimes the bravest decision you can make is choosing to walk away from something that no longer serves you. Now stepping into civilian life, Kathleen shares what comes next: staying connected to service through the Army Reserves, competing on an all-female skydiving team, and pursuing a future in fire and paramedic work out west. This episode is about closing one chapter, reclaiming parts of yourself that were put on hold, and figuring out who you are after the uniform com If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow or subscribe to Shelaborate so you don’t miss future conversations.
