Advertise on podcast: You're Like, Really Pretty

Good vibes are great… until they make you feel like you’re not allowed to have a bad day. This week on You’re Like Really Pretty, we’re talking toxic positivity, people-pleasing, and the pressure to turn every bad experience into a lesson or a blessing in disguise. Why do we feel the need to fix everyone’s feelings, rush through our own discomfort, or slap a silver lining on something that just plain sucks? Because you can be grateful and still be miserable. You can be hopeful and still be hurting. And you don’t have to turn every difficult experience into a motivational quote. Good vibes are welcome here, but they’re not mandatory. 💕

Explicit Content: This episode contains language and topics that might not be suitable for persons under 18 years old. This week’s episode is a bit of a “loose fit,” covering a wide range of topics; from respecting past versions of ourselves and embracing who we’ve grown into, finding the perfect level of spice in your romance novels, and the healing power of female friendships. Enjoy!

It’s finally here! Lizzie and Jenn are back from a short hiatus with part two of their “It’s A Cycle, Babe” series. This episode dives into the Ovulation and Luteal phases aka Fall and Winter, exploring how to support ourselves during this time, harness our inner dragon warrior, and nurture the dragon spotter within us too.

Part 1: The heat is on this week as Lizzie and Jenn dive into the four seasons of the menstrual cycle, what’s happening in our bodies, how to support ourselves through each phase, and why cycle awareness matters for advocating for better support and care. We also get into Heated Rivalry, the great women’s spa locker room nudity debate, and all the comforting chaos in between. There is so much good content that this is the first episode in a two episode segment that is sure to leave you wanting to know more!

REMIX - We’re bringing back our episode on intentions over resolutions. We talk about why New Year’s resolutions so often fall flat, how shifting toward exciting new intentions can bring more joy and alignment and why, if Lizzie ever runs for public office, New Year’s should be moved to July. Fresh starts just make more sense in the sunshine

In this episode of You’re Like Really Pretty, Jenn and Lizzie ease into the holiday season with ASMR word-tingles, a sweet mom-win, and a town-page Santa debate that opens the door to a bigger truth: two things can be real at the same time. You can love the magic and feel overwhelmed. You can show up for others and protect your peace. The girls dig into setting boundaries, navigating seasonal heaviness, and giving thoughtful gifts without unnecessary pressure or financial stress. It’s a reminder that the holidays can hold both joy and complexity, and you’re allowed to honor both. Let your heart (not your to-do list) be light this season.

On this episode, Jenn and Lizzie dig into how empathy can completely flip the script on the way we talk about and support people who rely on programs like SNAP. They break down the tired stigmas, call out the myths, and get real about how many of us are closer to needing help than we think. The conversation shifts the focus away from judging individuals and toward examining the systems that make accessing basic needs such a struggle. With a mix of heart, honesty, and a little righteous side-eye, they make the case for a community-forward approach, one where feeding each other, protecting dignity, and showing up with real support always come first. And of course, we brought the receipts. So if you find yourself stuck in that inevitable holiday debate with your very loud, very misinformed uncle, feel free to slide one of these facts across the table and let the empathy (and the truth) do the heavy lifting.

Jenn and Lizzie explore the untold stories of the women who built America’s Arsenal of Democracy. Beyond the iconic Rosie the Riveter image were millions of women — across races, cultures, and backgrounds — who transformed the workforce during World War II and changed the course of history. From shipyards to factories to modern boardrooms, this episode celebrates their legacy, their courage, and the lasting truth they proved to the world: We can do it — and we still are.

Jenn and Lizzie dive into the history and heart of girl magic — from tarot’s surprising origins to the way intuition and storytelling have always been quietly powerful forms of resistance. This episode explores how women have turned what was once dismissed as “witchy” or “emotional” into something sacred and strong. No broomsticks required — just a willingness to trust your own knowing.

We’re back — and sounding better than ever! Thanks to our brand-new recording setup, this week’s episode comes through crystal clear (because good sound matters when the conversation gets real). In this episode, we dive into the sometimes confusing, often intimidating world of healthcare — and how to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office. From asking the right questions to setting boundaries and trusting your gut, we talk about taking control of your own care without getting caught up in the headgames. If you’ve ever left an appointment wishing you’d spoken up or understood more, this one’s for you. 🎧 Tune in for honest talk, practical advice, and our best-sounding episode yet.
