Girls Tripped
Overpacked
Season 1, Ep. 27
•
We went to Salem for three nights with a car and absolutely no baggage restrictions—and somehow still managed to pack the wrong clothes. That got us talking about road trips vs. flying, carry-on vs. checked luggage, and how our travel packing habits might reveal more about us than we realize. Why do some of us overpack? What do we really need when we travel? And what are we carrying because we actually need it versus because we’re afraid not to? Then we put ourselves to the test with a one-bag travel challenge in Manhattan. Could two women who famously overpack really manage three days in New York City with just one bag? Wish us luck.

26. The Versions of Us
31:22||Season 1, Ep. 26Salem, Massachusetts turned out to be nothing like we expected—and somehow, exactly what we needed. We went looking for witches, history, and a fun girls’ road trip and found a place that is beautiful, tragic, complicated, welcoming, and a little weird. Which got us thinking: maybe people are like that, too. In this episode, we talk about the different versions of ourselves that show up for other people—and why traveling seems to bring out the most carefree version of us. Plus witches, ghost tours, questionable driving habits, and first-night vacation behavior.
25. Whatever It Is, Just Do It
29:35||Season 1, Ep. 25We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the things we want to do someday. This week, we’re talking about what happens when “someday” becomes “let’s actually do it.”There’s decluttering, personal growth, getting serious about our time, figuring out what we want next—and a reminder that travel doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s version of travel. One city. A private transfer. A bottle of wine. Stay awhile. There are no rules. Maybe the point isn’t having the perfect plan. Maybe it’s just putting something in motion.
24. Turns Out, We Have No Idea What We're Doing
33:50||Season 1, Ep. 24We kept a time log to figure out where our days were actually going—and, as usual, we learned more than we bargained for. We dig into what feeds us, what drains us, what we're hanging onto for no good reason, and what happens when we finally get honest about how we're spending our time. And yes, we're talking about the pool board. Again.
23. The Last to Know
29:50||Season 1, Ep. 23September has a way of putting us right back into the routines we thought we wanted to escape. But what if the schedule isn't the problem? What if it's the life we've been putting back on the calendar? This week, we ask what we're carrying into fall simply because we've always carried it—and whether it's time to finally let some things go.
22. What Happens When You Leave Your Life for a Month?
32:40||Season 1, Ep. 22What happens when you leave your life behind for a month and go halfway around the world alone? Our friend Lisa went to Bali for a 300-hour yoga teacher training, stepping completely outside her usual roles and routines. What she found was so much more than yoga. We talk about taking the leap, finding yourself again, and what happens when you give yourself permission to do something just for you. If you've been waiting for a sign to do the thing you've been dreaming about, maybe this is it. Book the trip.
21. The Company We Keep
31:02||Season 1, Ep. 21Friendships shape far more than our social lives—they shape who we become. This week, we're talking about emotionally safe friendships, jealousy, gossip, growing apart, and why the women around us matter so much. We also share the friendships we've had to let go, the ones we'll always treasure, and end with a simple challenge that could create a ripple far beyond this week.
20. We’ve Been Bamboozled
32:22||Season 1, Ep. 20Eliza and Jillian thought the Summer Reset was ten separate challenges. Looking back, they realized it was really one lesson repeated ten different ways. In their 20th episode, they celebrate how far Girls Tripped has come, laugh about spectacular failures, and discover that it wasn't Paris that changed them—it was finally paying attention. They’re more excited than ever for what’s next.
19. The Parts of Us We Keep
31:02||Season 1, Ep. 19Can you still recognize the person you were before life became so busy? Jillian dances through another Phish concert. Eliza spends a weekend laughing with the Rutgers girls who have been cheering her on for decades. Along the way they ask a bigger question: What parts of ourselves deserve to come with us through every stage of life? It's a conversation about identity, friendship, anxiety, motherhood, presence, and why making time for what has always mattered might be one of the healthiest things we can do.
