Episode 09: Laurel's Favorite - Childfree Clapback

It’s the holiday season, which means family gatherings, unsolicited questions, and at least one person asking “so… when are you having kids?”  before you’ve even finished your drink. So instead of dropping a new episode this week, I’m running back one of my favorites from Season 1: The Child-Free Clap Back. Because nothing hits harder during the holidays than being reminded that being over 30 with no kids somehow makes you a group discussion topic. If you’re child-free by choice, child-free by circumstance, or just tired of defending a life that actually makes you happy—this one still stands. Consider it your holiday survival guide and your permission slip to clap back (or silently judge from the couch).

Episode 08: Big In The Gym - Calling All Plus Size Girlies

Episode 08:Big in the GymCalling All Plus-Size Gym Girlies This isn’t a fitness episode — it’s a real one. In this unfiltered file, Laurel talks about what it actually means to be a plus-size woman in the gym. The confidence and the insecurity. The discipline it takes to keep showing up. The stereotypes, the side-eye, the early mornings, the sore bodies, and the quiet wins no one sees. This episode is about strength over skinny, taking up space, and learning to trust your body instead of punishing it. It’s for the women who try, fall off, start again, and keep going anyway — even when motivation is gone and discipline is all that’s left. You belong in the gym. Exactly as you are. 🎧 New episode of Don’t Quote Her out now. Follow, rate, and subscribe — and don’t quote her.

Episode 07: My Nervous System Has Entered the Chat

Season 2, Episode 7 — “My Nervous System Has Entered the Chat" In this episode, I’m unpacking the fight-or-flight mode my body catapulted into the second my ex reappeared — yes, even though he was only around for a minute. Or… was I stuck in this cycle from the very first day I met him? 😭 The girlies who know, know: one text, one memory, one hey stranger can throw your whole routine off. We’re talking emotional whiplash, subconscious patterns, why your body reacts before your brain does, and how I’m trying to regulate myself instead of spiraling into old versions of me. Tune in to find out whether this was a moment… or the truth I’ve been avoiding all along.

Ep 06: Maybe the Problem Is Me (But Like… Probably Not)

Ep 06: Maybe the Problem Is Me (But Like… Probably Not) Let’s be honest — I’ve reached my “absolutely not” era. In this episode, I’m breaking down all the ridiculous, bare-minimum, emotionally unavailable nonsense I’ve convinced myself to tolerate in the past… and why that version of me is officially retired. From men who think “what are you doing?” is foreplay, to the ones who call emotional maturity a “red flag,” I’m calling it all out. This isn’t a “men are trash” episode (okay, maybe a little) — it’s a comedic debrief of self-awareness, standards, and what happens when you finally realize you’re not hard to love… they were just lazy.

Ep 05: Flirting in the Wild (and Other Crimes Against Humanity)

Flirting in the Wild (and Other Crimes Against Humanity) They say flirting is a skill. I say it’s an Olympic sport — and I’m competing without training. This week, I’m diving into all things awkward flirting: from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, to overthinking every micro-expression. I share my most cringe moments (including one that still haunts me at night), what I’ve learned from dating apps, and why in-person chemistry might just be the scariest thing of all. If you’ve ever walked away from a “flirty” conversation and immediately texted your group chat, “I think I just embarrassed myself,” — this episode is for you.
