    Love, Loss, and the Holidays We Never Imagined - Holding space for grief while honoring what was.

    Send us a text In this powerful and intimate episode of Gal on the Prowl, host Jessica Spawn sits down with filmmaker and film educator Natasha Paris for a conversation every woman needs, especially during the holidays. While the season is often portrayed as cheerful and full of connection, many women experience it through the lens of grief, loss, and quiet heartache. This episode explores what happens when the holidays don’t look like the movies, and how we can better support the people we love (and ourselves) during those moments. Jessica and Natasha share a rich creative history dating back to 2011. Their journey has included film festivals, creative wins, setbacks, and even traveling to Paris, France for Filmapalooza... but this episode focuses on something deeper than filmmaking. In this conversation, we talk about: • Navigating grief during the holidays • How to support someone experiencing loss (without saying the wrong thing) • Letting go of the pressure to “be okay” • Friendship, creativity, and showing up with compassion Join the conversation! If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and share it with someone who might need it. You never know who’s quietly struggling this season. Follow 'Gal on the Prowl' for more heart-led conversations, creativity, and real talk. Special thanks to Modern Acupuncture for being our Alpha Cat Sponsor. If you're in DFW check theMEOWt!

    Happy AF Holidays - Gal on the Prowl - The one about Sobriety 🥂

    Send us a text The holidays can feel like a minefield when you’re navigating sobriety, but this episode of Gal on the Prowl proves it’s not just about surviving, it’s about thriving.  Join host Jessica Spawn as she sits down with two incredible guests: -Brian Cuban, author, advocate, and nearly two decades sober, who opens up about his journey through childhood trauma, shame, bulimia, and addiction, and how he found true recovery. -Julie Robinson, founder of Beyond the Bar, a unique alcohol-free event space redefining what it means to celebrate consciously. Together, they unpack how to show up for your sober self (and your sober guests), make mocktails as festive as champagne, and build inclusive spaces that celebrate connection rather than consumption. Whether you’re sober, sober-curious, or simply supporting someone who is, this episode offers real talk, practical tools, and hope for the holidays. Listen now to learn how to create joy, belonging, and beautiful memories — no hangover required. *Bonus: Julie shares her go-to mocktail recipe that tastes like a celebration in a glass!

We pounce on everything! What Bravo never aired, how she’s reclaiming her story, and the behind-the-scenes reality you’ve never heard before. LeeAnne takes us from her days alongside Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality to the glittering chaos of The Real Housewives of Dallas, and then beyond, into a mission that’s bigger than the drama.

    Life, Death, and Jazzercise...Gal on the Prowl interviews Susan Hamilton for real talk on adulting!

    Send us a text This Month’s Featured Feline-Friendly Guest is Susan Hamilton! Susan serves as the Director of Membership at the Denison Chamber of Commerce, where she helps local businesses thrive and brings people together in creative, impactful ways.  She also wears a producer’s hat, creating films that shine a light on the stories that matter most. And when she’s not championing entrepreneurs or crafting cinematic magic, you’ll find her embracing the joy of jazzercise (which she swears is the most fun you can have while working out—cat ears optional)  Recently, Susan has been navigating the profound loss of her father, who was her greatest inspiration and best friend. She spent years visiting him daily, making joyful TikTok videos that captured his larger-than-life spirit. Now, she’s learning to rediscover herself beyond the role of daughter and caregiver. P.S.
