ENTERTAINING SHORT FILMS is a new category on the RPA Network, which features indie short films for your enjoyment! We applaud these creators! Katie hasn't been the same since she lost her brother, living in silence and melancholy. After being questioned about his death, she receives a mysterious package containing a token her brother left behind. A beautiful seashell, but a presence follows it into her home.

Consider this our official intervention: not everyone can be CBK, but no one else can be you. In this episode, we're unpacking the internet's obsession with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and the pressure to replicate her effortlessly chic, “quiet luxury” aesthetic. The problem? Not everyone can be CBK and that's okay, we'd prefer it! We talk about how personal style has turned into copy/paste trends, why individuality in fashion feels like it's disappearing, and the strange things people are suddenly wearing in public (yes, we're looking at you girly who wears under eye patches to pilates). Along the way, we rant about the trends we're officially over and why embracing your own taste will always look better than trying to cosplay someone else's life. ---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Beauty of Joseon under eye patchesHannah's Captivation: Dry Spell by Kacey MusgravesShop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

This week we're breaking down the viral self-help phenomenon known as the 5 Second Rule, created by Mel Robbins, and asking whether counting down from five can actually change your life or just make you feel like you're constantly bossing yourself around. We talk about what the rule is, why it's so popular, whether it actually works in real life (especially for procrastination, anxiety, and motivation), and the fine line between discipline and self-pressure. Is it empowering? Is it productivity theater? Or is it just a surprisingly effective mental trick?We also discuss the finale of Traitors and how we feel about the winner, Connor Storie hosting Saturday Night Live, Emily getting back into the dating game, and our acupuncture journey!---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: TraitorsHannah's Captivation: Cash Mobs (surprising and supporting local businesses)Shop CLEARSTEM and 15% off with the code GALSGUIDE at checkout---Welcome to The Gal's Guide — a weekly dating and lifestyle podcast created to empower radical self-love and bold relationships.

Send a textThis episode brings you two Sundance documentary short films that touch on such timely issues that our filmmakers rushed to get them out as soon as possible.In La Tierra del Valor (The Home of the Brave), during a summer of grief and fear brought about by ice raids in Los Angeles, one small act of bravery brings a community of hope. Director (and return guest) Cristina Costantini and producer Alfie Koetter sit down with us to discuss how they met Nezza, the patriotism of immigrants, and how bravery feels a lot like fear. In short, FUCK ICE.Luigi is a short film about the cultural sensation (and obsession) following the murder charge of Luigi Mangione. Director (and return guest) Liza Mandelup shares why she was inspired to tell the story from this perspective, how she scouted online and in her own backyard of NYC for the subjects of her film, and our collective rage and frustration that has led us to this moment.
