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.

EP12: When Non-Artists Don't Get It
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Let’s face it, sometimes people just don’t “get” it. Whether it’s well-meaning parents, friends, or coworkers whose biggest aspirations are a corner office on the 4th floor. This week Mimi and Vanessa discuss the frustrations of living a creative life surrounded by non-creatives. We also talk a LOT about Billy Joel. And there may or may not be crying involved.
