Lazy Girl Jobs Don't Exist with Team Girlboss

In this (very spicy) episode of Girlboss Radio, host Avery Francis is joined with Liz Guber, Girlboss' general manager, and Victoria Christie, Girlboss' senior writer, to talk about the latest TikTok workplace trend: lazy girl jobs. What defines a lazy girl job? How does social media fuel misconceptions about them? What does this say about our disillusionment with capitalism and "hustle and grind" culture? Why is it a lazy girl job and not a lazy boy job? And who can really get away with having one?New episodes of Girlboss Radio drop every Tuesday.

Getting Divorced with Lawyer James Sexton

Get your FREE sample pack of LMNT electrolyte drink mix with any purchase at DrinkLMNT.com/GIRLBOSS.It's a Girlboss Radio milestone—our first male guest. Ever.So why a man and why now? Well, as our host, Avery Francis says, "Women and non-binary folks continue to carry the burden of conversations about moving the needle forward. I wanted to invite a man on the podcast to talk about how they're helping us achieve collective liberation."While Girlboss Radio will always offer up our platform to women we admire, it's nice to get away from the echo chamber once in a while and hold conversations with guests we find interesting or can learn from—regardless of gender.And now, about our guest: James J. Sexton, Esquire, is a no-BS divorce lawyer and author of If You're In My Office, It's Already Too Late: A Divorce Lawyer's Guide to Staying Together who's helped thousands of people navigate the endings of their relationships. In the past year, he's become a bit of a social-media sensation for his no-sugarcoating takes on marriage (he thinks it's overly-normalized in society), love (he's a hopeless romantic!) and prenups (he thinks they're essential).On this special episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery and James unpack why women initiate the majority of divorces, James' views on eternal love and the things we should be all be discussing with our romantic partners before getting hitched. Plus, the starting cost of prenups and divorce litigation.For an episode that's all about the end of love, we think you'll find it (oddly) uplifting and hopeful.

Influencers Can Have Career Doubts Too

Before you roll your eyes at the title of this week's episode—we get it. Influencing, a career that's emerged over the past decade, offers it all: the ability to make lots of money, flexibility, travel, adoring followers and flashy brand deals. But we know we're not the first ones to tell you that it's not all it's cracked up to be. On today's emotional episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery is joined by two of her friends: Jillian Harris and Sarah Nicole Landry for an unedited glimpse at the realities of running successful businesses by leveraging your online persona.Jillian Harris got her start in restaurant design before becoming the first Canadian Bachelorette on reality TV. Sarah Nicole Landry blogged about motherhood as a divorced mom of three, before quitting her job in publishing to pursue content-creation full time. Today these women run multi-million dollar brands, employ staff and partner with the world's biggest companies. But there are downsides too: non-existent work-life-balance, time away from kids and husbands, near-constant online scrutiny of everything they do. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm still doing this," says Jillian Harris at one point in the convo.This is not your typical influencer chat. But we think you'll be glad you tuned in.Follow Jillian here, and Sarah, aka The Birds Papaya here.Get your very own Workplace Affirmation Deck from Girlboss at girlboss.com/affirmations!Sign up for Girlboss Daily, our must-read morning newsletter, at girlboss.com/newsletter.
