The Everygirl Podcast

#331: Josie walks through the exact journaling exercises she uses to recognize how far she’s come, figure out whether the life she’s building actually feels as good as it looks, and get intentional about who she wants to become next. She also breaks down the psychology behind why we get used to things we once desperately wanted, how our imagined future identities influence the choices we make today, and why thinking like your 95-year-old self might completely change what you worry about, prioritize, and appreciate. Plus, Josie shares the unexpected exercise she did on the morning of her wedding that helped her stay present during one of the biggest days of her life.

You’ll learn:
The annual journaling ritual Josie does around her birthday (and why you can do it anytime)
How hedonic adaptation causes your dream life to eventually feel “normal” and how to start noticing it again
The questions to ask your younger self to recognize how much you’ve already grown
How to tell the difference between what you genuinely want and what you’ve simply learned to want
Why imagining both your ideal and “feared” future selves can reveal where your current habits are taking you
The powerful exercise Josie discovered on her wedding day and the psychology behind why it can shift your priorities
The questions that can help you stop rushing through this chapter of your life while still dreaming ridiculously big

#330: Ready to be "that girl" financially? Tori Dunlap—bestselling author, financial feminist icon, and founder of Her First $100K—is back on the podcast, and she’s holding nothing back. Tori shares exactly what she’d do right now if she wanted to level up her finances: We talk the money moves every woman should be making, the financial “rules” you need to break, and the mindset shifts that will make you truly unstoppable. Tori also opens up about the guilt and pressure of being a financially independent woman in a world that still tells women to stay small—and why she believes it’s your obligation to get rich (not to hoard money, but to heal, to give, and to help change the system for everyone else). Whether you want to grow your income, build an emergency fund, reach your money goals by the end of 2026, or just feel more empowered in your everyday life, this episode is the financial wellness pep talk you didn’t know you needed.

#329: When was the last time you thought about your brain health? If you’re in your 20s or 30s, probably never. We obsess over gut health, hormones, protein, sleep, and stress, but rarely think about the organ that affects our entire body. Josie is joined by women’s brain health advocate and Make Time Wellness co-creator Emma Heming Willis and clinical psychologist and board-certified nutrition specialist Dr. Nicole Beurkens to explain why taking care of your brain should start decades before you ever worry about cognitive decline. Emma and Dr. Nicole break down what brain fog is actually trying to tell you, the surprising ways your hormones affect your brain throughout your cycle, and why women in particular need to be having these conversations much earlier.

They also get into something every person with a smartphone needs to hear: what constant scrolling, notifications, multitasking, GPS, and even outsourcing everyday tasks to technology could be doing to our attention, memory, and cognitive resilience. Emma and Dr. Nicole share realistic, simple ways to exercise your brain in everyday life.

You’ll learn:

Why brain health matters in your 20s and 30s
What brain fog can signal and when it’s worth paying attention to
How your menstrual cycle, estrogen, and other hormonal shifts affect your mood, memory, sleep, and cognition
Why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s and what researchers are learning about potential risk factors
What scrolling, multitasking, constant notifications, and our reliance on technology may be doing to our brains
Easy ways to build cognitive resilience instead of outsourcing everything to your phone
The everyday habits Emma and Dr. Nicole prioritize for better brain health
The foods, lifestyle habits, and boundaries that can support a healthier brain at any age

#328: What if you didn’t wait until January to become the person you want to be? With less than four months left in 2026, Josie is sharing the five rules she would follow to make the rest of the year so transformative that she enters 2027 on a completely different trajectory. And no, this isn’t another list of morning routines, wellness habits, or things to add to your already-full to-do list. Josie breaks down how getting painfully specific about your identity can change your everyday decisions, why she’s giving herself 90 days of “delusional commitment,” and the uncomfortable calendar audit that reveals what you’re actually prioritizing. She also shares how to identify the hidden “leaks” keeping you stuck in old patterns and how to recognize the areas of your life you’ve unknowingly turned into a waiting room. If you’re ready to stop waiting for a new year to create a new beginning, this episode is your roadmap for making the rest of 2026 count.

You’ll learn:

Why a specific identity can be more powerful than setting another goal (and how to create yours)
How to use 90 days of “delusional commitment” to make massive progress on any goal
The calendar audit that reveals whether your priorities actually match the life you say you want
How to identify the “leaks” quietly costing you time, energy, money, and confidence
The “waiting room” exercise to uncover where you’ve been postponing your life until you reach a future milestone
How to take your future seriously without treating your present like something to get through

This is one of those listen-to-it-twice episodes that hits you right in the soul—and gives you the tools to take your power back.
