WILF Podcast

All good WILFs must come to an end.

Tess and Amy have their first special guest! Listener and friend (and logo designer!), Asa, joins us to discuss the W's he likes to F. Plus Glennon and Sister have a podcast! Just like us!

Tess has watched Gilmore Girls! The New York Times has written about WILFs! In true Gilmore fashion, we talk so much we circle back to where we started and wonder if we should have taken the journey at all.

We’re back! After a casual 6 month hiatus, we have returned to discuss Glennon in the New Yorker, Chanel Miller, and what acclaimed movie Amy thinks is trash.

We discuss Brene Brown and (new WILF!) Sonya Renee Taylor's conversation about radical self-love and what she means when she says "the body is not an apology". Plus! We read from Casper ter Kuile's The Power of Ritual. He's not a WILF, but he likes'em!

Tess and Amy answer a listener question about romance novels in far more detail than anyone expected. Roxane Gay is a WILF! And charcuterie boards are good.

After a hiatus to watch the world go sideways, we're back to discuss what the WILFs have been up to. Glennon is Untamed! Brene is Unlocking Us! Layla is done waiting for us to do the damn work!

Untamed is here! And Tess is loving it! Plus we got some hot recs:- Watch: Bon Appetit Test Kitchen- Read: Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn- Visit: waitbutwhy.com- Do: Mandala journaling- Make: Stock!- Listen: Two Old Queens podcast

Tess and Amy catch up about childhood crushes, personal milestones, anxiety, Instagram envy, and menstrual cups!

We're back! We saw THE Layla F. Saad at a live event for her book Me and White Supremacy. We debrief and talk about our takeaways. Then we get into pressing current events like Cheer on Netflix, a new podcast obsession, and how we organize our bookshelves.

A + T are back after a long winter's break to get into upcoming WILF projects like the Unlocking Us Podcast and to discuss how to embrace their own succulence...naturally.

A & T (& R) take a nostalgic look at their twenties, a thoughtful look at Layla Saad's first podcast ep with Rachel Cargle, and an admiring look at Greta Thunberg. They hope they are on the right side of history with this one.

Happy Thanksgiving! We talk about reactions we get when we try to explain this podcast to people, the beauty of long friendships, and what we are grateful for that is giving us hope this Thanksgiving.

There's a new WILF in town! We welcome Lindy West to the pantheon, check in the Layla Saad and Glennon Doyle, and discuss the trials and lessons of being on a middle school track team.

We're back! Discussing what it means to be a celebrant and to "double down on love"

Tess and Amy have a late night chat about poetry, diet culture, jazz band, and writing.

Tess and Amy talk "The Signature of All Things", anxiety, and truth!

This week we explore the work of a new WILF, Layla F. Saad! Join Tess and Amy as they tread imperfectly but with intent to grow into conversations around race, privilege, and internalized white supremacy. Also in this installment of “WILF’s, They’re Just Like Us”: Popcorn for dinner!

Listen this week to learn more about everyone’s favorite 90s nun, Whoopi Goldberg! We also get into Cheryl Strayed’s appearance on the Super Soul Sunday podcast and share snippets of out No Longer lists.

This week we check in with two Southern Aunts, Brene Brown and Amy! We unpack Brene’s Netflix special A Call to Courage and dip into the Instagrams of Martha Beck and Liz Gilbert! Come for the folksiness, stay for the wisdom.

In this third episode, the co-hosts discuss the whirlwind media tour that is Elizabeth Gilbert’s public presence at the moment as she promotes her new book, City of Girls. Amy bought a signed copy, Tess started reading it, and Liz keeps referring to it on podcasts as a “tray of champagne cocktails.” We discuss the allure of Oprah, the ideal book tour, and what makes a good uh leader thingie.

We saw some WILFs in the wild! In this episode we discuss our pilgrimage to a church in Brooklyn to see Abby Wambach launch her book WOLFPACK.

Welcome to the WILF Podcast! In this episode we introduce ourselves, get comfortable talking into microphones, and discuss the love lives and sobriety of a few favorite WILFs.
