Girl Math and Other Survival Skills

This week on Casting It Out, Josie D-G and Kayla P are celebrating the unhinged magic of girlhood. From the science of Girl Math to the confidence boost of one drink to trauma dump and three drinks to become everyone’s best friend, this episode dives into the chaotic, hilarious, and deeply relatable world of female friendships.

The Instant Connection of Being a Girl's Girl

Have you ever met someone in a bar bathroom and immediately bonded over an outfit or a shared story? That instant connection is the magic of girlhood. Josie and Kayla reminisce about late nights out, house party phases, and the growing-up moments that tested them, all while friendships held them together. Being a girl’s girl means hyping each other up, supporting each other through chaos, and laughing about the mistakes for years to come.

Adult Friendships and Social Energy

Friendship doesn’t get easier with age. In this episode, the hosts talk about balancing social energy as adults, navigating the desire to be included while also needing space, and showing love in ways that fit modern life, like sending ten TikToks instead of a long text. They explore the joys and challenges of maintaining friendships while managing work, mental health, and personal life.

The Thoughts That Keep Us Busy

Josie and Kayla discuss the anxious thoughts that never stop. From replaying arguments in the shower to imagining all the “what if” scenarios in our heads, they unpack the exhausting, chaotic, and often hilarious ways women plan and prepare for life’s little surprises. They also explore everything showers, over-preparing for dates that don’t deserve the effort, and the ways we cope with constant mental load.

The Chaos That Makes Us Strong

This episode is not just about friendship, it’s about the unique chaos that makes women funny, resilient, and loving. From treating pets like children to needing constant reassurance, Josie and Kayla explore how these experiences shape the people we become. They celebrate the messy, the imperfect, and the hilarious moments that make girlhood unforgettable.

Why You Should Listen
