Borderline Optimists is a cozy chaos podcast about chasing dreams, manifesting success, and spiraling with hope along the way. Hosted by Gabrielle Held and Christen Powell, two early-twenties film girls with very different vibes but the same starry-eyed outlook, this show blends film, girlhood, lifestyle, and the messy magic of post-college life. We’re talking following passions, making movies, surviving adulthood, and laughing at ourselves in the process. Will they “make it”? Probably. Will they win Oscars? Manifesting it.

    Why We Dream Big

    This week, the Optimists are back for a candid conversation about the origin of their creative passions and why they're still fighting to pursue those dreams. The two reminisce on early creative sparks, the highs and lows of the education system, and the reality of navigating an industry that wasn’t built with them in mind. Along the way, they unpack confidence, competition, representation, and what it really means to bet on yourself when the path isn’t stable or straightforward.

    Maintaining Friendships While Navigating Your Career

    This week, the Optimists get real about what it’s like to chase big creative dreams while trying to keep your friendships alive. In a world packed with hectic schedules, self-doubt, and constantly shifting routines, they explore how intentionality, reaching out first, and finding like-minded people can make all the difference. Building your dream life doesn’t mean leaving your friendships behind—sometimes it means choosing them on purpose. Tune in for an honest conversation about connection, growth, and a nudge to text that friend you’ve been thinking about.
