From the Pink Desk of
By Other Girls Media
Pull up a chair we are talking about pop culture, dating, being single, friendship, faith, and womanhood. Also what it actually looks like to build a meaningful life when your life doesn’t necessarily look the way you thought it would. We can have questions, learn something new, disagree sometimes, grow in our faith, and still have a really good time together.
Most importantly, I want this to feel like sitting down with a friend who makes you laugh, makes you think, and reminds you that your life is worth intentionally building.
So grab your tea and pull up a chair.
There’s always a seat for you at my Pink Desk.


Ep 371 | Women, Friendship, and Men
I’m back at the Pink Desk to discuss a viral “theobros” clip about women gathering, the Caleb Flynn trial and male-centered relationships, a New York Times article about trad-wife influencer Bernadette, and the importance of female friendship and community.

Today's a solo Teacap I discuss the viral Summer House drama, some awful revelations we learned in the Lamar Odom documentary, and two viral tweets about cherries and being whimsical girls.

Ep 351 | Girls, Girls, Girls
Dannelle is back for another Teacap and we’re getting into some really interesting conversations about womanhood, culture, and relationships.
We start by talking about a few movies, books, and shows that we think really capture the experience of being a woman and why certain stories resonate so deeply with us. Since it’s around International Women’s Day, we also share what being a godly Christian woman means to us, why we genuinely love being women, and some of the incredible women who have shaped our lives.
Then we get into some culture tea — including a viral story about a married couple whose relationship turned into a polyamorous triad and what that says about how modern culture is redefining relationships and commitment. We also talk about a recent controversy involving Timothée Chalamet and his comments about ballet and opera, which sparked a bigger conversation about how society values art and tradition.
It’s a fun, thoughtful conversation about femininity, culture, faith, and the world we’re all trying to navigate.
