Are you the friend that makes the most fucked-up jokes? Do you ever feel judged for your ~unique~ coping mechanisms? Are you sick of tip-toeing around the topic of your trauma? Most importantly- are you ready to let loose and heal with us in our own weird way? Welcome home. Jenny Hawkins and Madison Hohl are two artists and close friends in their early 20’s who have open and judgment-free conversations about sexual assault, personal healing journeys, and navigations of a life that is, quite frankly, hell sometimes. Girl Talk in Hell embraces the shitstorm of feelings that comes with the daily pain of being a woman in a world embedded in rape-culture. The open conversation aims to take back the power and place it in the hands of the woman to manage her struggles in whatever way works best for her. This is hell, so let’s talk about it.
This week, we're discussing the controversial CANCEL CULTURE in regards to celebrity perpetrators of sexual assault and the psychology behind predators- can they change and be safely reintegrated back into society? We talk about actors such as James Franco, Kevin Spacey, and Armie Hammer- what they were accused of, how they responded to such claims, and if we think they should be allowed to return to their careers (and if so, under what conditions). Do these people, or any sexual predat...

Victim Blaming & Red Flags
Welcome back to the wh*rehouse! Today we're talking about victim blaming- what it is, how it affects you, and how to address it in your own life. We get real talking about how to work around the system we live in while still being safe, and about the risk of getting too defensive against the possibility of victim blaming and how that can hurt you. Most of all, we just want you to be safe while still knowing nothing is your fault! Jenny also tries defending men for the first time in her ...

Descending Further Into Hell
Girl Talk really is in hell this week, ladies. As promised, we're talking about Roe v. Wade being overturned, the casual loss of our bodily autonomy, our fears for POC, the queer community, and the future of this country; all of that good stuff. We talk about how we handled our own emotions following the decision, why it's okay to think about you right now, and what you can do for others with uteruses and for your own mental health. Jenny shares the story of Joe Biden checking her out, and Ma...

Art Critics Gone Wild
This week we're taking a trip through the Art Institute of Chicago, looking at pieces that depict women being victimized, sexualized, or assaulted in some way, from the Renaissance to modern day. We analyze the works through our unique perspectives as a writer and a visual artist and as women who have experienced assault, recognizing our triggers but always bringing the laughs. Plus, Madison makes a confession. Following along with visuals is highly recommended, and below are the pieces we d...

Revenge: It's What's for Dinner
This week we’re talking about Jenny’s favorite pastime- revenge, primarily on perpetrators of sexual assault, but a little bit on exes, too. We get into the ethics of revenge, tell stories of revenge in mythology and modern day, and delve into our own ideas of the perfect revenge (plus things we’ve actually acted on). We also open up about what it would mean for us to balance the scales with those who hurt us, and how to determine what’s worth doing. Plus, we ask the million-dollar question- ...

I've Heard Enough
This week we're talking about what literally everyone is talking about- the Depp v. Heard Trial trial, and mainly, the world's reaction. We discuss how the internet has viciously attacked Amber Heard in a way no man accused of abuse has ever experienced, how Johnny Depp's leaked violent texts haven't been talked about, and what we think this case means for both male and female victims of abuse. Follow us on Instagram @girltalkinhellpodcast for weekly updates and don't forget to subscri...

Read All About It!
Ring ring, we're back bitches! Today we are talking about the inevitable that follows sexual assault... talking about it! Jenny and Madison discuss who they told, when, and why (most importantly, you do what is best for you). Madison talks about telling her friends in high school and their struggle to empathize with her then, and Jenny talks about what sharing her experiences with her boyfriend has done for the health of her relationship. First, though, we catch up on Jenny's cat's weig...

Coping Post Groping
Welcome back! Today Madison and Jenny are discussing coping mechanisms- from binge drinking to taking a nice hot bath to the effed humor you'll hear today. Jenny also impulsively shares a crazy story that you won't want to miss. They ask questions like, what qualifies as a positive versus negative coping mechanism? Is there any such thing as "unhealthy" coping mechanisms when you're really struggling to simply survive? But first, they debate whether or not Jenny is a Disney adult and Madison ...

In the first episode of Girl Talk in Hell, Jenny and Madison introduce themselves and share their stories of their first experiences with assault, where they're at now, and where to go from here. Jenny gets into her post-trauma anger (imagine a blonde girl in cowboy boots screaming at a bouncer) and Madison shares her opinion on comparison and her experience with imposter syndrome. With open, judgment-free conversation and laug...
