We need to talk about the comments. The comments about weight loss, weight gain, "you look so good," "have you lost weight," the ones that feel like compliments but land somewhere else entirely. In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™, Ginny shares a memory that resurfaced recently and unpacks why body commentary, even the "nice" kind, keeps us tethered to an outdated value system, especially in the middle of the GLP-1 cultural moment. With insight drawn from a close family member's work as a dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, Ginny walks through how to apply the UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter to body talk: what to MUTE, what to BLOCK, and most importantly, what to SWAP it for instead. If you've ever commented on someone's body (or even your own) and wondered if you should have, this episode is for you.🎙️ This episode is brought to you by:SPOOGE.

We talk a lot about saying no, protecting your time, and setting boundaries. And even honoring your own bandwidth.But what about when someone tells you no?This week, Ginny flips the script and shares two real-life stories from the past week. They make the case better than any framework ever could. From a photographer fresh off a Scotland trip who couldn't make it to a puppy's debut photo shoot, to a friend whose Saturday plans turned into a Sunday morning visit, the lesson is the same: how you handle someone else's "no" says everything about where you are in your own growth.Plus! Fritz Carlton has entered the chat. Head to Instagram (@ginnypriem) to see the announcement and the most adorable photo shoot you'll see all year.In this episode:Why being busy and being productive are not the same thingWhat you're unconsciously making someone else's "no" mean about youHow to MUTE the story your brain writes when plans change or fall throughThe UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter applied to one of the hardest emotional habits to break ... taking cancellations personallyThis one is worth sharing with someone who has a hard time saying no, hearing no, or holding it together when plans change.

Last week, two different speaking audiences reacted in ways Ginny didn't expect. On today's episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™, she breaks down a custom interactive session for county social workers and a virtual session for HR professionals that took an unplanned technical turn. Both experiences reframed what she thought about her own performance, and what that says about who actually gets to decide if something went well.This episode covers self-perception and imposter syndrome, and what it actually looks like to unsubscribe from your own internal scorecard.This week's episode is brought to you by SPOOGE!

Seven and a half years. No run-ins, no sightings, nothing. And then—there he was. In this episode, I'm doing something a little different: I'm telling you exactly what happened when I saw my abuser for the first time since we split. My reaction, what I noticed, what surprised me, and honestly, what it revealed about how far I've come. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to unexpectedly see a narcissist after years of no contact—or near no contact—this one's for you. No filter.

This week, You're My Favorite surged to #2 in a category (again) on Amazon. Four years after publication! Ginny was featured on We're All Insane (86K+ views on YouTube and climbing), sat down with Kati Morton, and joined Amy Edwards for a conversation about navigating online criticism. And in between all of it? A DM calling her a horrible person and a comment calling her "stuped" (yes, spelled exactly like that).In this episode, Ginny pulls back the curtain on what a big week actually looks like behind the scenes. This includes the wins, the weird DMs, and the real-time application of her UNSUBSCRIBE™ filter to stay grounded when the volume gets loud.If you've ever been afraid to put yourself out there, struggled with online criticism, or wondered how creators handle the noise, this one's for you.In this episode:Why You're My Favorite is having a second life four years laterThe Apple Podcasts review that stopped Ginny in her tracksHow to handle hate DMs without losing yourselfApplying UNSUBSCRIBE™: BLOCK, MUTE, SWAP, MANAGE—to online criticismThe one rule Ginny uses to limit how much negativity she absorbs per dayMentioned in this episode:We're All Insane podcast: LINKKati Morton's podcast: LINKAmy Edwards' podcast: LINKYou're My Favorite on Amazon: LINKConnect with Ginny:Instagram: @ginnypriemSubstack: ginnypriem.substack.comYouTube: LINKSupport our sponsor:ine+ nutrition: Save 15% with code GIN15Keywords:handling online hate, dealing with negative comments creators, public figure mental health, how to respond to trolls, online criticism, being in the public eye, creator burnout, Ginny Priem, UNSUBSCRIBE, You're My Favorite book, Katie Morton podcast, We're All Insane podcast, Amy Edwards

If you've ever struggled with people pleasing, wanting to be liked, or changing yourself to keep the peace—this episode is going to hit close to home.Someone once told me I was polarizing. I said nothing back. Because at that point in my life, being liked was everything. And polarizing felt like proof I was failing at it. It took years of real work to understand it wasn't an insult at all. It was the most accurate thing anyone had ever said about me.In this episode I get honest about that moment, what the need to be liked actually costs you, and why authenticity and universal approval cannot exist at the same time. I ask the question most people won't sit with: would you rather be liked for who you're not, or disliked for who you are?This is for the woman who has softened her opinion before saying it out loud. Who laughed at something that wasn't funny. Who has been called too much, too direct, too intense ... and believed it long enough to do something about it she now regrets.SPONSORSine+ Nutrition — 15% off with code GIN15Thrifty Traveler — $20 off your first year with code GINNYPRIEM—CONNECT WITH GINNYSubstack — UNSUBSCRIBE with Ginny PriemInstagramLinkedInBook Ginny to speakYou're My Favorite—the bookUNSUBSCRIBE book—If this episode gave you something, leave a rating on Apple Podcasts or a comment on Spotify.
