This week, we sit down with Dr. Molly Burrets, a USC professor and psychologist who specializes in marriage and divorce, to unpack the emotional work it takes to build a lasting partnership—and what happens when a relationship comes to an end. From the often-overlooked effort required to sustain intimacy to the subtle red flags that signal a marriage may not be sustainable, Dr. Burrets sheds light on the psychology of both commitment and separation. We also explore what the process of divorce looks like beyond the legalities, including the grief, identity shifts, and eventual healing that come with starting over.---Follow Dr. Molly BurretsCheck out her website!!---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Dr. Molly's Captivation: All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation by Elizabeth GilbertEmily's Captivation: Conrad FisherHannah's Captivation: The PittShop 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.

Let's get right to business, Listeners. Do this now!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Click https://www.omlrmovie.com/screenings and see when and where you can catch “Once More, Like Rain Man”! I first met Bella Zoe Martinez and Melissa Jean Martinez- Areffi at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2022, when their short film “Glory & Injustice” was an Official Selection. Personally, I LOVED that wonderful short where a thirteen year old has to yell at her supervillain father to get his off his butt and go commit some crimes! Imagine my delight when this same team, and when I say “team” I should really say “family,” sent a new film three years later and it is an Oscar-quality short that is amazing in every dimension? No surprise that “Once More, Like Rain Man” came to the 2025 edition of Film Invasion Los Angeles and took home four awards! By the way, I referred to this team as a family and now I should clarify. Melissa and Bella are mother and daughter, and father Andy Areffi is equally involved in every film. Bella and Melissa came over to record the podcast, while Andy deserves this personal shout out for holding down the fort while the others came over to have fun.                                                                     Fingers crossed that someday we get Andy on the podcast! For the record, “Once More, Like Rain Man” won the Grand Jury Awards for Best Short Film, Comedy and Best Performance by a Cast, Short Film.                                                                                                    On top of that, it took home the Filmmakers Awards for Outstanding Direction, Comedy for director Sue Ann Pien as well as the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Cast Performance, Comedy. This conversation was so much fun and we clearly could have talked all night! Enjoy!

If you look at the pic of Melissa & Bella on the DIF website or social media, you might notice someone in the kitchen behind them.                                                             That would be our soon-to-be-college-student who, without my asking, baked cookies that evening. That's right.                                                                                                                                                          DIF Podcast guests sometimes get made-from-scratch-fresh- baked-chocolate-chip-cookies!

This week, we're diving into The Cut's article on the rise of the “forever-35 face” and the trend of undetectable facelifts. We break down the difference between SMAS and deep-plane techniques, why more women are turning to surgery earlier, and how treatments like CO₂ lasers, Morpheus8, and other non-surgical options are reshaping what it means to “age well.” From fillers falling out of favor to the influence of Ozempic and celebrity culture, we're asking: is this new era of beauty empowerment, or just another impossible standard wrapped in a softer package?---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: The Gilded AgeHannah's Captivation: Lesser Evil Pumpkin Spice PopcornShop 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.

What are the 4Qs? (1) Three favorite films. (2) An underrated film. (3) An overrated film. (4) A lesser-known film people should seek out. A.J. Lising wrote and directed “Papa's Corner,” a film that was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Supporting Performer in a Short Film, for Val Victa's performance as Papa. A.J. was not able to stay for the Q&A at FI-LA so I was thrilled for the chance to dive deeper with A.J. about his incredible work and get to the 4Qs to see what type of films helped him cultivate it.

This week on The Gal's Guide, we're diving into “The Great Lock In” — TikTok's latest trend encouraging us to use September through December as our most productive season. Think of it as a reset before the holidays: the time to lock in on your goals, stay consistent with your routines, and finally cross those short-term goals off your list. Whether it's getting in shape, saving money, or just proving to yourself that you can commit, we're talking about how to maximize this season of discipline while still leaving room for fun.

A Marvelous Monday to You All! A.J. Lising wrote and directed “Papa's Corner,” a film that was an official selection at Film Invasion Los Angeles in 2025 and took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Supporting Performer in a Short Film, for Val Victa's performance as Papa. I was in the theater for this screening and even though I had already seen it as a member of the jury, after the film's beautiful ending I wept for nearly all of the credits. We did hold a Q&A at the theater with Erik Luminarias (producer & lead actor) and Patricia Esguerra (editor & script supervisor), but A.J. was not able to stay for the Q&A. Once again the Discover Indie Film podcasts gives me a chance to more than make up for a missed Q&A opportunity. It was a pleasure to talk to A.J. and I hope to see a lot more work from him in the future.

In this week's episode, we declare that we're officially entering our selfish era. We're talking about why we're not rushing into kids until we've lived the lives we want first, and why settling for just any man isn't on the table when we genuinely enjoy our own company. From icons like Tracee Ellis Ross and Jennifer Aniston—women who are thriving, hot, and unbothered at 50—we're breaking down how marriage and children aren't the sole markers of a fulfilling life. Instead, we're embracing independence, freedom, and the idea that putting yourself first is not selfish—it's powerful.---Stream Hannah's album, PHASES!Watch Emily's Short Film, All We Were!Emily's TikTok ShopEmily's Substack: third martini thoughts---Emily's Captivation: Gwyneth, The Biography by Amy Odell - Listen on AudibleHannah's Captivation: Haley JoelleShop 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.

Whether it be loneliness, solitude, finding sanctuary in a stifled relationship or waiting for a takeaway meal, or maybe one of the most precious things of all, the comfort in creating for ones self, Kaite Fitz is shifting how we see ourselves on screen. Her short film Smoke, which premiered at the St Kilda Film Festival, presents Lianne Mackessy's main character, a woman who moves through her day, quietly being hollowed out by a void that's emerging within her. Her relationship exists, but it's more of an idea than anything else, yoga becomes an event tinged with friction. Her work, restoring art, is a rare sanctuary.The title, Smoke, alludes to the lingering presence of something burnt, the smell of the past hanging into the future. Sometimes this is a comforting smell, like incense, or sometimes it's a smell that heralds a lie or the smothering of truth, like the lingering haze of cigarettes.Kaite is an emerging Australian filmmaker who presents women who live familiar lives, rolling forward on a continuing existence that persists in the face of stagnation. We rarely see these characters on screen because we're so rarely invited to hear from and engage with women storytellers who present real people on screen. It's no surprise then that Kaite looks to filmmakers like Kelly Reichardt or Alena Lodkina as inspirations for the work that she's doing.In the following interview, Kaite talks about her creative process, about having learned from filmmaker Michael Rowe, working with producer Miki Clarke, the notion of truth on screen, as well as exploring what her creative voice looks like on screen with films like Smoke, and in her as yet unproduced feature screenplay Peachy.This interview is part of the ongoing series of emerging filmmakers who are part of the rising swell of Australian filmmakers. These are storytellers who are collectively, yet singularly, shaping what the Australian film oeuvre looks like, feels like, and sounds like. In turn, they are forming a new language for Australian cinema, shaping what stories are being told, how they're being presented, and much more.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.
