Girls Next Poor
Girls Next Poor is the podcast for every creative trying to make magic on a budget. Hosted by influencer Vanessa Symoné and comedian Mimi Hayes, we’re two 30-something women navigating the chaos of chasing dreams while also trying to pay bills, stay sane, and avoid comparing ourselves to everyone on Instagram.
Each week, we get real about the highs, lows, and hilarious in-betweens of being a creative in your 30s—money struggles, identity crises, burnout, big wins, plot twists, and all the messy art that happens along the way. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a creative life without losing your mind (or your wallet), you’re in the right place.

EP10: Tenacity & Grit When Your Soul is Being Sucked
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’ve all been there. We’ve all been sold the lie: go to school, get a job, buy the house, blah blah blahhhh! Are you a “weekend warrior” hoping to escape the grind that is sucking your creativity? This week Vanessa dishes about people who want corner offices on the 4th floor and Mimi waxes poetically about being in the trenches as a public school teacher. At the end of the day, we used grit to get back to our most creative selves.
