    #104 - Love Isn’t Sexy: The Truth About Real Relationships

    Send a text Love isn’t built in the big romantic moments. It’s built in the small, ordinary ones most people overlook. In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts unpack what love really looks like beyond attraction, especially after Valentine’s Day. They share how meaningful relationships are shaped by daily effort, communication, and intentional connection rather than grand gestures. The conversation explores both the classic five love languages and a newer, expanded model that includes emotional support, intellectual connection, financial security, and practical teamwork. Listeners are reminded that love often shows up through everyday acts like helping with responsibilities, listening deeply, or creating shared experiences.  The episode also weaves in personal stories about family bonds, parenting, and partnership, reinforcing that love is rarely glamorous. It is gritty, imperfect, and requires patience. A powerful takeaway is that the “little things” consistently matter more than the big things. When people intentionally show appreciation and presence in everyday life, relationships grow stronger and more resilient. Ultimately, this episode encourages listeners to look for simple ways to demonstrate love daily because those small actions create lasting connections.

    #103 - Warning: Consume At Your Own Risk When You Stream On Any Screen

    Send a text If you feel weird sitting next to your child while they watch a show, that’s your sign to pause. In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer talk about what constant streaming, short-form video, and shock-content are doing to our attention, our standards, and especially our kids. They connect the dots between “true crime obsession,” desensitization, and how entertainment can start normalizing violence, sex, addiction, and toxic relationships until it feels ordinary. The hosts also raise concerns about how easy it is to consume anything in private now, which removes the old guardrails that used to protect younger viewers. The biggest takeaway is practical: pay attention to what your kids are consuming, sit down and watch with them, and use that moment to have real conversations. They also offer a simple gut-check for adults, too: how does this content make you feel, think, and act afterward? The episode ends on a more hopeful note, highlighting uplifting stories (like the Olympics) and celebrating a “Got Grit” award winner. Episode Highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:07) Minion Olympics controversy and why it matters culturally (2:10) Short-form video and shrinking attention spans (3:34) AI fears, “AI social media,” and why to stay alert (7:39) “You are what you consume” and media as identity-shaper (8:52) Why shock-content dominates: violence, sex, drugs, toxic relationships (9:54) Copycat behavior and the danger of glorifying criminals (11:46) Why people are drawn to volatility, and how shows hook parents too (13:39) When entertainment leaves you feeling worse, not better (14:47) Media normalizing cheating and reshaping relationship expectations (16:01) Crime shows, gore, and desensitization over time (18:18) The teachable moment: “Click. This is not okay.” (24:51) Main point: awkward to watch with your kid = problem (26:12) The gut-check: how does it make you feel and think? (27:09) Healthier family viewing: Olympics and uplifting stories (27:49) “Got Grit” winner: Taryn Smith rows solo across the Atlantic (29:04) Music as intentional consumption and listening with purpose (30:10) Wrap-up, share the episode, and connect on social (30:24) Outro Support the show Follow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

    Send us a text What if the fun little bet you place today quietly turns into a problem tomorrow? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer have an honest, eye-opening conversation about gambling culture, especially around major sporting events like the Super Bowl. They break down the real odds behind betting, why most people are far more likely to lose than win, and how online platforms make gambling dangerously easy, especially for young people. The hosts explore how sports betting has exploded since legalization, how ads and gaming apps target younger audiences, and why impulse decisions can quickly turn into debt. They also share personal stories, discuss fairness in box pools, and explain why “just for fun” can easily become risky. Along the way, they highlight the importance of talking openly with kids about money, apps, and peer pressure. The episode wraps with an inspiring music recommendation and a powerful “Got Grit” spotlight on giving back to athletes. This conversation is a reminder to stay informed, stay aware, and always gamble only what you are truly willing to lose.

    #101 - Cursing Isn’t Confidence, Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should

    Send us a text What we say matters more than we think, especially when no one is stopping to think before they speak. In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts take on a surprisingly layered topic: swearing, language, and the line between emotional release and harmful communication. What starts as a candid, funny conversation about curse words quickly turns into a deeper reflection on culture, parenting, leadership, and personal responsibility. They explore why swearing has become so normalized, how context and intention change the impact of words, and where language crosses from stress relief into disrespect. The conversation challenges listeners to consider how words land on others, especially children, and why defaulting to vulgarity can feel lazy rather than expressive. The hosts also touch on power, media, and influence, questioning what examples are being set by public figures and why shock language is often rewarded. The episode wraps with a call to be more intentional, creative, and thoughtful with language, proving that you can still be expressive without tearing others down. The episode closes with a powerful contrast: a spotlight on Buddhist monks walking across the U.S. for peace, reminding us that patience, restraint, and intention can be louder than any curse word. Episode Highlights: (0:00) Intro (2:35) Why swearing feels more socially accepted today (3:00) Youth sports, decorum, and emotional control (5:00) Public image, family conflict, and airing dirty laundry (7:00) Where swearing becomes harmful, especially for kids (9:00) The psychology of swearing as stress relief (10:30) Language, leadership, and setting examples (13:30) Words that cross the line and why some feel toxic (18:00) Intent vs impact when swearing at people (22:30) Choosing words with intention and creativity (24:00) Got Grit Award: monks walking for peace (28:00) Final reflections on self-control and accountability (28:35) Outro Support the show Follow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

    Send us a text What if the only thing standing between someone and their potential is whether they’re allowed to believe it exists? In this powerful milestone episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts celebrate their 100th show by welcoming two extraordinary guests whose story redefines grit, resilience, and possibility. Dave Clark, a former professional baseball player who competed on crutches, and Doug Cornfield, founder of Disability Dream & Do, share a journey rooted in courage, creativity, and unwavering belief.

Beyond sports, this episode highlights the life-changing impact of kindness, from a childhood act that altered Dave’s future to a movement that now empowers children and adults with disabilities to explore their potential. This conversation is a reminder that limitations do not define destiny. With stories of perseverance, purpose, and paying it forward, this episode invites listeners to rethink what’s possible when we stop saying “you can’t” and start asking “what if?” Episode Highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:18) Celebrating 100 episodes of grit (1:51) The Top Three: culture, sports, and mindset (6:45) Introducing Dave Clark and Doug Cornfield (13:36) How belief shapes identity and confidence (15:04) Creating solutions when the odds are stacked (19:47) The danger of passing on doubt (23:17) Redefining strength and strategy (35:10) Disability Dream & Do and D3 Day (43:24) A childhood act of kindness that changed everything (51:02) Pulling each other along (56:48) Legacy, gratitude, and what really matters (57:28) Outro Support the show Follow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

    #99 - The Sex Talk Every Parent Avoids

    Send us a text What if the conversations we avoid as parents are the ones our kids need most? In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer tackle one of the most uncomfortable but important topics in parenting: sex, virginity, and how to talk to your kids about it without shame, fear, or denial. What starts as a candid question quickly becomes a raw, honest discussion about generational shifts, real-life expectations, and why pretending teens are not curious or sexually developing does more harm than good. The hosts explore what age sex realistically enters the picture, how pressure, alcohol, and silence can shape first experiences, and why open communication matters more than strict rules. They reflect on their own experiences, the difference between boys and girls, modern dating culture, and the emotional weight teens carry when they feel unprepared or left out. This episode also zooms out to broader themes of responsibility, health, and agency, touching on burnout, body awareness, food transparency, and raising kids who feel confident asking hard questions. The core message is simple but powerful: you cannot protect your children by avoiding reality, but you can guide them by staying present, honest, and human.

Listeners also get thoughtful commentary on timely topics: protecting your identity in the age of AI, how food systems shape health, and why art still matters, from album covers to authenticity in business.
