Playlist for the 300th

You found the secret page — and that means you’re officially part of our inner circle. 💖

To celebrate 300 episodes of the Gal’s Guide Podcast, we created a playlist inspired by the incredible women whose stories we’ve covered on the podcast over the last 8 seasons.

This playlist is a musical journey through the women we’ve featured — musicians, actresses, comedians, icons, rebels, rule-breakers, and even unforgettable TV theme songs. It’s soulful, playful, powerful, nostalgic, and bold… just like the women themselves.

Put this on while you:
✨ sip your favorite drink — may we suggest the Gal Pal Official Cocktail
✨ journal or create
✨ dream up ways to make the world more inclusive
✨ or just vibe with some legendary women

The energy ebbs and flows — sometimes cool and contemplative, sometimes fierce and fabulous.

And because we love a good throwback, you might recall that Episode 1 was about our Gal-Powered Playlist — a more rock-forward, empowerment-anthem kind of vibe. This 300th playlist is its cooler, groovier, historic cousin. A wonderful way to bookend and celebrate 300 episodes.

From our hearts (and headphones) to yours — thank you for listening, learning, and celebrating women’s history with us.

With love,
The Gal Pals 💕
