Cool Girls Only: Recent Episodes
Cool Girls Only
Cool Girls Only is a weekly podcast to make navigating your twenties a little bit easier. As we get into our twenties, what’s cool can really change. For Maddy and Jordan, it’s cool to (try) getting your sh*t together, and they are here to help. Tune in every Friday for real-life stories and advice on personal finances, relationships, mental health, work-life, and getting through that quarter-life crisis. We’re excited to go on this wild ride of finding ourselves together. Welcome to Cool Girls Only.

Ahh, the glory days... or were they? You have your first sense of 'freedom', but with that comes the anxiety of deciding what to do with your life.

We both graduated with a business degree from MSU. In today's episode, we talk about our college experiences as business majors, mental health struggles, and Jordan lets you know if advanced degrees are worth it (p.s. she has one).

It's time for one of our monthly #moneytalks. When it comes to money, getting your sht together can be a huge learning process, and it takes a lot of discipline. This week we are starting with the basics: saving money in your twenties. We know it's important, we know we need to budget, but sometimes instant gratification can seem better in the moment than putting that extra $100 in our savings. We've all been there. Today, we are talking about the difference between saving and investing, what some of our savings goals are, and how we save (but also let ourselves have fun). Happy Listening, Cool Girls!

As you get older, you realize that using social media can affect your mood, productivity, and overall mental health. Can someone just take our phones away, please!!! How do you feel after you get off of Instagram or Tik-Tok or any social media platform that you might spend a little too much time on? We don't feel so good. There are good things about it like connection and inspiration, exposure to different cultures and opinions, and accounts that just make you happy. But then, there's the not-so-good side of social media. In today's episode, we talk about how social media impacts us, what we would tell our younger selves, and some positive ways to use social media. Happy Listening, Cool Girls!

This week's topic is very near in dear to our hearts, and honestly one of our favorite things to talk about. Starting your career can be a confusing time, it can bring up questions like: "Is this what I really want?" or "What the hell am I doing with my life?". We feel you, and we are here for you. Some of us have even gotten to the point where we feel the need to quit our jobs and pursue something new, and that is GREAT. Before you do that, there are a few things to consider. In this episode, we talk about knowing when to leave a job, giving your manager "feedback", and what we would do if money was no object. Happy Listening, Cool Girls!

In today's episode, Maddy and Jordan talk about their experiences with finding apartments in nyc, the actual cost of moving, and some things to consider before taking the leap (yes mice and roaches are a thing, eeeeek).

One of the hardest things to do when moving to NYC is finding the balance between living your life and actually saving money. Because if you haven't heard, New York is expensive as hell. When we first moved here, living that NYC lifestyle seemed more fun than saving money (obviously). In today's episode, Maddy and Jordan talk about why it's so hard to save money in NYC, how we budget, and most importantly, cheap (& free) things to do in NYC. Happy Listening, Cool Girls!

Figuring out what you want to do with your life is a constant theme in your twenties, especially when it comes to your career.

Most times, it's going to take a few different experiences for you to figure out what is right for you. Today, Maddy and Jordan talk about why everyone hates their first job, if we feel like we are on the right path, and struggles we have faced while transitioning from college to career.
