The shows we watch.
The characters we love.
The lessons we carry with us.
THE SHOWGURLS PODCAST is an original conversation series, created and hosted by Sakina Ibrahim and Kyleen Goode, long-time friends together to talk about the TV shows, characters, and pop culture moments we can't stop thinking about—and what they reveal about our own lives.
Because sometimes a character or story arc on TV teaches you something about yourself before you even realize you're learning it
Through funny, candid, and thought-provoking conversations, THE SHOWGURLS PODCAST explores the hidden lessons inside the stories we love. We revisit unforgettable characters, relationships, plot twists, cultural moments, and iconic scenes—and use them as a jumping-off point for bigger conversations about identity, ambition, love, friendship, careers, creativity, confidence, womanhood, and becoming.
What we talk about
We talk about the character who made us feel seen
The relationship we rooted for—and probably shouldn't have.
The storyline that changed how we thought about our careers.
The woman on screen who gave us permission to be BOLD.
And the pop culture moments that became part of how we understand ourselves and
each other.
At its heart, THE SHOWGURLS PODCAST is about the relationship between the stories we watch and the stories we live.
And sometimes the best way to talk about life is to start by talking about the show everybody watched last night.
