Will Decentering Men Keep You Single? Gi...

Jenny Meinen
About this episode

It’s Saturday night, and the girls decided to record a spontaneous heart-to-heart conversation that just needed a mic. Jenny and Ashley sit down for a raw, unfiltered chat about dating in 2025, the spirals that come with swiping, and why this time around, things feel different. Ashley’s freshly single, navigating the apps (and the disappointment), and wondering: did dating change... or did she?

From defining your “husband energy” (spoiler: he’s not at the club) to questioning the energy we send into the universe when we center our lives around men, this one’s part vent session, part pep talk, and part gentle reminder that your love life isn’t your whole life.

Oh—and did we mention? This is the season two finale of Girls Chat XO. Thank you for riding with us through the chaos, the glow-ups, the breakdowns, and the breakthroughs. Jenny From The Pod is preparing for a comeback with a whole new season full of juicy convos, new guests, and even more couch chats you didn’t know you needed.
