Chapter 1: What is Girls Just Wanna Weekend and why is it significant?
Welcome to We Can Do Hard Things. Today we are celebrating the international holiday. You know, you got your Christmas, you got your Hanukkah, you got your Ramadan, you got your overarching holiday. which is Girls Just Want a Weekend in Mexico with Brandi Carlile. Okay, thank you to Brandi for bringing this sensation to the planet.
And for all those who celebrate, you know that it was a few weeks ago now. And I thought that we could all learn what happened, those of us who were back home shivering and being sad in our hearts that we were not there. Together, we can find out from Glenn and Abby how Girls Just Wanna wanted. Girls Just Wanna? How did you want? What do girls just wanna? And there was a performance.
by two of the hosts, Glennon and Abby. There was singing. There were gyrations. There were... There were costuming. There were lifts. There were lifts. Nobody puts baby in a corner. There was a lot. So I don't know anything about it yet other than some rather scandalous, scandalous images I found on the internet. Ooh, scandalous. And so... We're gonna find out what girls do when they wanna.
Glennon and Abby, how was your time Celebrating.
Well, first we should just describe what it is, which is hard to do. Do you want to try? What Girls Just Wanna is? Yeah. Well, I mean, the pod squad knows. I know, but there might be new people. Yeah, I know. I'm just saying there are a lot of people that came up to me when we were there and they said, I listened to the podcast last year and I just thought, I got to get my ass here. Aww.
Yes. You'll have to go back and listen to – I think it was last year or the year before. Was it a couple years ago? We did a whole – Last year. Girls Just Wanna podcast debriefing. I feel like this is like Bravo where they – I've never seen any of – After hours. Either the show or the after show.
But I feel like we now have this series going where it's like for those who watch the show, you're going to watch – I'm Andy, okay? And – We're going to debrief on what happened there. Hopefully there'll be some yelling and gowns. And then there – so we did that last year and then actually recorded a podcast last year actually in Mexico. So there's two.
So let me just try – I'll try to describe it. It's like there's a lot of ways to describe it. I feel like this is going to have to be like a sermon on the mount. Like I can't tell you – I can't describe it directly. But – The Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed and Girls Just Wanna is sort of a lesbian Lollapalooza.
It's sort of a queer gathering of thousands of people, some of who are not queer, but the gathering's still queer. Brandy started it as like a music festival, but like everything that Brandy and Catherine do, music is just like the medium through which to bring people together and heal and be dance and be safe together.

Chapter 2: How did Glennon and Abby prepare for their performance?
They're not like, but I cannot. ever talk about them without saying that the way that they curate and the spirit with which they build their community is why it's the way it is. It is
The intentionality, the generosity with which they honor people who have come before them and which they guide and shepherd young artists and the love that they pour into every single moment of this festival is stunning. It feels, I know that Brandy is very Jesus-y and very much when I'm there, I feel that vibe. I feel this is like, oh, this is her way of bringing her version of heaven to earth.
That is what it feels like. It feels extremely spiritual and generous and intentional and heavenly.
Is that why they do the 80s night? Sure.
Okay. So as always, things that are deep and spiritual are often absurd. Well, heaven is a place on earth, okay? Ooh, heaven is a place on earth, which is Belinda Carlyle. Coincidence?
Not related, not related. Maybe not. Not related.
So here's what happens. I've studied this of myself. this of myself. First, we started coming because Brandy's like, oh, come in. It's all cheesy. Oh, just come and see. Just taste it. Just come in the door. We started to go the first couple of years and I thought I will go. I will stand in my corner. I will watch. I will observe. I will keep my distance.
But much like the rhythm, girls just want to- It's going to get you. It's going to get you.
Okay.

Chapter 3: What unexpected challenges did Glennon and Abby face during their performance?
She just like looks and she's just like, I've got you no matter who you are. And she does. She just doesn't drop you. It's very unbelievable. The entire place was just... Odd. It was just a heavenly grave. Odd. A-W-E, not O-D-D. No. The crowd's odd, too. That's why we like them. You could have heard odd, but it's odd. Yeah. It's just really special and felt very not...
separate from everything that's going on in the world, very crucial to it somehow. Just the gathering and the community and the music, those are the things that are trying to be stamped out is just joy and sexuality and expression and community. Anyway, I just hope that more people get to come and I hope that more people create spaces like that for themselves and their communities.

For way too long, women's serious midlife health issues have been trivialized or ignored. And even today, 75% of women who seek care for menopause and perimenopause issues are left entirely untreated.

And they're the only women's telehealth brand covered by major insurance companies, which makes expert care actually accessible and affordable. Their clinicians do one-on-one face-to-face visits where they really listen to you and tailor care to your unique needs.

Strawberry.me is career coaching that helps you get to the actual root of what's burning you out, whether it's an insane workload, zero boundaries, a boss who drains your soul, or just the quiet realization that your job isn't aligned with who you are anymore.
