Girls Tripped

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.

Long-term Love

This week on Girls Tripped, Eliza and Jillian take an honest look at love, marriage, and what it really means to stay. From whirlwind beginnings to long marriages that ended not in betrayal—but in change—they explore the tension between commitment and self. Is longevity something we chase at the expense of honesty? Can two people grow together, or do some relationships simply outgrow themselves? Plus, as they prepare for Paris, they ask: what does romance even look like now? Is it passion—or partnership? And what happens when temptation shows up at a café table in the most romantic city in the world? This episode is messy, funny, deeply reflective—and a reminder that the most important relationship you’ll ever have… is the one you have with yourself. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Let Them Struggle, Too

We grew up figuring things out on our own—so why is it so hard to let our kids do the same? In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to “give them the world”… and whether we’ve gone too far. We explore the tension between protecting and preparing, the guilt that comes with stepping back, and the question of whether struggle is something to avoid—or something they actually need. As usual, we don’t approach it the same way. One of us wants to step in. The other knows we probably shouldn’t. Neither of us is totally sure where the line is. And then Paris steps in—where the generational divide shows up in real time. Because while we’re ready to sit with a glass of wine… they’re chasing golden hour and 400 photos. Because maybe the real question is: Can we love them enough to let things be hard? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
