Girls Night with Stephanie May Wilson is for the recovering rule-follower — the woman who’s done everything “right,” only to realize the plan isn’t working, and it’s time to begin again. This isn’t just about how to get what you want — it’s about finally figuring out what that is, and then step by step, we’ll give you the tools, language, and confidence to build a life that’s true to you. From careers to relationships, family to faith, we help quiet the outside voices so you can finally hear your own — and act on it with confidence. Girls Night is where the woman whispering into the night, “There has to be more than this,” finally finds a life that feels like home.
