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.

EP13: Inspiration & Vulnerability
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week we get deep. Fresh off seeing a new piece of theater, Mimi feels inspired for her own work and also gets into some insecurities. Impacted by this, Vanessa sheds a tear (or twelve) as we go deeper into how vulnerability can be incorporated into our artistic process. Grab some tissues. We’re going there.
