Welcome to the Girl on Top Shallin Xo podcast. I'm your host Shallin Lester and you might know me from my YouTube channel, where I analyze celebrity relationships and scandals for the lessons we can take into our own lives. But here on the podcast, I answer the best questions you submitted over the past week.

Hey, there's Shaligators. Well, evil week is a long way away. I know it's going to be in the fall

and we're going to be wearing jackets again. We just took our jackets off. I get it. But that

doesn't mean we should wait to be evil.

Now, I feel like for the last couple weeks, we've been sort of following this soft theme of ridding toxic people out of our lives, ghosting people, standing up for ourselves.

And I realized I was really remiss, and I probably should have done this topic at the beginning, which is how to be okay with feeling kind of mean and shitty. Now we talked about this last week, like in defense of

ghosting and why sometimes it's necessary to ghost. But I've been talking to a lot of you guys about

this and you're really opening up to me about how painful it is to cut somebody off.

And so I kind of want to talk about that today. I want to talk about the feelings to expect and how to deal with them.

Basically, how to get in touch with your inner ruthlessness, your inner bad bitch, your inner, for lack of a better term, evil.

And how to make friends with those feelings, or if we can't walk hand in hand with that

icky feeling and with evilness, how can we at least find some sort of middle balance

between standing up for ourselves and having people kind of hate us sometimes?

So we're going to get into that.

But before we do, you guys know we have a brand new Shaligator getaway trip to Italy next year.

Now, we're going on two Italy trips this October. They are both sold out. So I wanted to put

another one on the books because you know I cannot stay away from Italy. Next, let me see.

April 15th to the 21st, we are going to

Milan, Venice, and Lake Como. Each one of these cities is so incredible. They each have a

completely different vibe, but they're going to have one thing in common, which is you're going to

be traveling with such amazing, awesome bad bitches. I mean, the girls who come on these trips, everyone ends up best friends. I mean, we've been back from Costa Rica, I think, for a month now, and all the girls on the group thread are still chit-chatting all day long. Like, everyone is still so tight. They play in reunions. They go see each other. So if you want to travel, but don't know how to kind of get your group of friends to go,

or you don't have a big group of friends, you do now.
