When Moose sends you a Bear: a story of rescue & fate

Moose winks & a moms intuition

In this week’s episode, Gretchen shares the very surreal, very emotional news that she is having a baby boy, and why this pregnancy already feels so deeply connected to Moose, motherhood, and the little god winks along the way. She talks about trusting her mom intuition, the sweetness of their gender reveal with Lennon, nursery plans, and the wild reality that motherhood can make you softer and more sentimental, but also a little more feral when it comes to protecting your babies. Gretchen also shares why she is sunsetting the podcast for now, and leaves listeners with the big reminders she wants them to carry forward: don’t be a dick, but have a backbone, stop letting other people’s opinions infect your life, don’t settle for the wrong person, stop arguing with people committed to misunderstanding you, and remember that confidence is built through evidence, not affirmations. It’s emotional, honest, a little chaotic, and very Gretchen. A soft pause, not a goodbye. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@GretchenZachary]and follow Gretchen on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gbclark/] and Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gbclark_] __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

When Moose brings you a baby: pregnancy after loss

In this week’s episode, Gretchen shares the news that she is pregnant, and gets very honest about what pregnancy after loss actually feels like. She talks through conceiving after her January miscarriage, the anxiety of waiting on bloodwork, checking HCG and progesterone levels, seeing the heartbeat, and the emotional whiplash of feeling deeply grateful and absolutely terrified at the same time. Gretchen also shares how different this pregnancy feels from Lennon’s, from brutal nausea and food aversions to the gender results sitting unopened in her inbox. This episode is raw, hopeful, and very real. If you’ve ever experienced pregnancy after loss, miscarriage, intrusive thoughts, or the fear of celebrating too soon, this one will feel honest, comforting, and a little less lonely. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@GretchenZachary]and follow Gretchen on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gbclark/] and Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gbclark_] __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

Ask G Q&A: Trust the Ick, Mixed Signals & Men Who Waste Your Time

This week on DBAD… it’s chaos, it’s advice, it’s “what the hell is wrong with men?” energy. We’re kicking things off with Bear updates (because obviously he’s perfect and we’re obsessed), but then we spiral, in the best way, into everything from toxic relationships to internet drama to real-life “am I the dick?” dilemmas. We’re talking: -Love bombers and emotionally unhinged men (yes, we’re naming names… kinda) -Why women still feel the need to shrink themselves in dating -The reality of modern friendships, weddings, and spending money you don’t even have -The biggest red flags you’re probably ignoring (but shouldn’t) -And the one thing you absolutely do when a married man slides into your DMs It’s unfiltered, it’s honest, it’s slightly unhinged, and it might just save you from making a very expensive or very emotional mistake. If you’ve ever felt like you’re overthinking… you’re not. If you’ve ever gotten the ick… trust it. And if he’s acting weird? He probably is. Let’s get into it. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@GretchenZachary]and follow Gretchen on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gbclark/] and Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gbclark_] __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

When Moose sends you a Bear: a story of rescue & fate

In this week’s episode, Gretchen shares the emotional, unexpected story of adopting Bear, the rescue dog who showed up at exactly the right time, looking almost impossibly like Moose and Henry combined. She talks about the moment she and Troy saw his photo, why it felt like Moose had sent him, and how grief, timing, fate, and love all collided in one very surreal day. From bringing Henry and Dallas to meet him, to watching Lennon call him “Moose,” this episode is a tender reminder that nothing ever replaces the ones we lose, but sometimes love finds its way back into the house when we need it most. Gretchen also talks about why she will always advocate for rescuing, and the quiet magic of giving a shelter dog the life they deserve. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@GretchenZachary]and follow Gretchen on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gbclark/] and Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gbclark_] __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!

Ask G Q&A: Married But Tempted, Outgrowing People & Why Your Friend Hates Your Success.

She’s back in your inbox. Literally. Round two of Ask Gretchen Anything, and you did not disappoint. This week we’re getting into the messy stuff: the coworker you can’t stop thinking about (you know who you are), the best friend who’s lowkey draining the life out of you, and the guy who ghosted after saying he was “on his way.” Classic. Also on the table:   ∙  When “I’ve talked to him about it” isn’t the same as actually being heard   ∙  Why your first big paycheck might make you want to hide under a blanket (and why that’s not your fault)   ∙  The friend who hypes you up in person but won’t double-tap your post   ∙  And yes, we went there on Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle No fluff. No “it depends.” Just Gretchen, your emails, and some opinions she’s not taking back. Send your questions, your drama, your moral gray areas to askGBclark@gmail.com (fake names, please) and let’s do it again next week. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/@GretchenZachary]and follow Gretchen on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/gbclark/] and Tiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@gbclark_] __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!
