#74 - He Pretends To Go To Work… Then Comes Back Home

#79 - She Helped Plan The Wedding… Then Said NO

Your ex showing up to your wedding trying to stop the ceremony sounds like something out of a movie… until you realize there are people actually living through situations like that. This week’s conversation turns into a debate about toxic relationships, crazy exes, revenge behavior, workplace sabotage, former opps becoming friends, and whether venting about your friends counts as talking behind their back. Jocelyn shares the story of trying to get a coworker fired before karma immediately came back around at another job, including finding out she got passed over for a promotion because the VP hired her own daughter instead. Jade explains why she refuses to deal with people with crazy exes, and somehow the conversation turns into stolen pets, emotional burnout, social batteries, and why adult friendships can feel exhausting even when you genuinely love your people. If you’ve ever dealt with messy relationships, toxic workplaces, exhausting friendships, or feeling like adulthood is just one long chaotic group chat, this episode is for you.

#77 - His Mom Humiliated Me… And He Joined In

This week, we’re talking about relationship boundaries, mama’s boys, emotional regulation, and the ways unhealthy family dynamics can quietly destroy relationships. What starts with a humiliating birthday dinner turns into a bigger conversation about self-awareness, therapy, emotional burnout, food addiction, social media overload, investing anxiety, and trying to regain control of your life when everything feels mentally exhausting. We also get into dating people who want projects instead of partners, whether men can handle successful women, and why so many adults are struggling to regulate their emotions while pretending everything is fine. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by adulthood, relationship stress, burnout, emotional eating, financial pressure, or just trying to figure yourself out without losing your mind, this episode will probably hit a little too close to home.

#76 - He Keeps Leaving… And She Keeps Taking Him Back

Some people don’t actually want to leave you… they just want to know you’ll still be there when they come back. This conversation started with a Reddit story about a man who asks for a “break” from his relationship every single year like it’s a holiday tradition, and somehow spiraled into cheating double standards, emotional manipulation, Ross & Rachel, relationship disrespect, self-worth, and why some people keep wasting years on situations they already know are unhealthy. If you’ve ever struggled with letting somebody go, ignored obvious patterns because you loved someone, dealt with inconsistent people, or wondered why people expect loyalty while giving the bare minimum back, this episode is for you. We also get into: * why “breaks” in relationships feel fake * emotional cheating vs physical cheating * why disrespect hurts more than the actual act * why women are way more logical than people give us credit for * Friends vs Living Single debates * relationship boundaries * adult friendships * self-esteem and self-worth * and one VERY traumatic Halloween costume story A Girls Perspective is a funny, honest, unfiltered podcast about adulthood, friendships, relationships, hot takes, and figuring life out in real time.

#75 - He Let Her Stay… Now She Won’t Leave

Let’s talk about what happens when someone crosses a boundary and refuses to respect it, because that “just one night” favor can turn into a full situation real fast. This conversation breaks down friendship boundaries, dealing with people who take advantage of your kindness, and how to handle situations where someone feels entitled to your space, your time, or your life. Because the truth is… not everyone who calls themselves your friend actually respects you. We also get into the reality of adult friendships, dating struggles, setting boundaries with men, and recognizing red flags early, especially when people start asking the wrong questions or moving a little too comfortable too fast. From cost of living conversations to why some environments make life harder than it needs to be, this episode really highlights how your surroundings, your circle, and your decisions all play into your peace. If you’ve ever dealt with people overstaying their welcome, pushing your boundaries, or just moving weird in your life… this one is for you. Two lives. Two perspectives. One unfiltered conversation.
