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. Happy Valentine's Day!

Bursting the Kardashian Gummy Bubble with Dr. Jen Gunter
"It's a scam." That's how Dr. Jen Gunter, the internet's favorite OB/GYN, describes Kourtney Kardashian's vagina probiotic gummies (called Lemme Purr).
You can see why we had to have Dr. Gunter on the podcast, right? She isn't afraid to dispel the BS women are being told about their bodies.
In today's episode, Dr. Gunter debunks the biggest myths about vaginas, from synching your period cycle to your productivity to needing to get rid of the (perfectly normal) smell with scented wipes and washes. It's a self-cleaning oven, people!
Dr. Gunter is an OB/GYN, pain medicine physician and New York Times best-selling author of The Vagina Bible and The Menopause Manifesto. Her brand-new book, Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation is out now.

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?
