Media mogul Karen Civil and her marketing mastermind bestie Ming Lee have given us the podcast that all millennial women should be listening to. Hosted on the Joe Budden network, Girl, I Guess is a deeply personal, entertaining, and honest exploration into all things 30-something. Lee and Civil are a hosting match made in homegirl heaven, complete with full transparency of the current wellness movement and the straight talk we can all use from time to time.

In the podcast landscape, it's not often that you find a show that strikes the perfect balance of motivation and accountability—this is what Girl, I Guess does so effortlessly. In a year in which so many Black women are looking forward to recouping anything lost due to mental exhaustion, personal hardship, and/or a global pandemic that stopped the world, Karen, Ming, and their guests are just what the doctor ordered.

With seven episodes under their belt, Lee and Civil seemed poised to dominate the podcast space this year. Here are some of the best moments from the show thus far:
