Don’t Quote Her is the unapologetically real podcast, hosted by Laurel, where one corporate baddie turned accidental philosopher dives into life’s chaos with humor, sarcasm, and zero filter. Relationships, career burnout, gym-life struggles, healing journeys (or lack thereof), and all the messy moments in between. Think group chat energy meets therapy... but funnier, louder, and with more swearing.

    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.

    Episode 04: The Hinge Prompt Police

    This episode is all about Hinge prompts — the red flags, the icks, and yes, my own problematic responses. Because apparently, sarcasm and emotional walls aren’t considered flirty? Wild. I'm decoding Hinge prompts — theirs and mine. From “I’m overly competitive about everything” to my own passive-aggressive masterpieces, it’s safe to say the call is coming from inside the app.

    Episode 03: The Marriage Files Part Two

    Episode 2: The Marriage Files Part Two The Marriage Files: Part Two picks up right where we left off — and let’s just say, things get messy. Katie opens up about her second marriage, a whirlwind of cheating, lies, pregnancies (not hers), and straight-up chaos that even included a prison sentence. We unpack it all — the betrayal, the lessons, and the healing — before diving into how our past relationships (yes, even the dumpster-fire ones) shape how we date now. From realizing that a man doesn’t define your worth, to questioning why so many women rush into marriage chasing “the dream,” this episode is a brutally honest look at love, loss, and self-respect. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s really okay to be single in your 30s, no kids, and still completely fulfilled — spoiler: it absolutely is. Unfiltered. Unbothered. Unapologetic. Just the way we like it.

    Episode 02: The Marriage Files - Part 1

    Season 2, Episode 2: The Marriage Files — Part 1 with special guest Katie Robertson In this two-part conversation, Laurel sits down with her longtime friend Katie Robertson to unpack the messy, complicated, and sometimes hilarious reality of marriage and divorce. Katie opens up about her two failed marriages—what went wrong, what she learned, and how it shaped the way she sees love now. They talk about being single in your 30s vs. your 20s, the pressure women still feel to be “chosen,” and whether we’re actually chasing love and partnership… or just the idea of safety and security.
