Welcome back to The Smart Girl Newspaper: your curated, weekly, newspaper for the curious and intelligent parts of you: an antidote to the doom scroll and complacency. This volume covers the perfect tie between our relationships and health for Valentine’s Day, a chat on the influence of algorithms on our creativity, the intersection of sports stars, fashion, and culture, and more! I hope you love it!

The perfect Smart Girl Walk Valentine’s Day episode! A little chat with a relationship scientist and expert, Dr. Lisa Neff, on how we can build better and stronger relationships with our significant other and friends!

A fun video on the recent fashion trends! I know I am prepping for an upcoming trip to Asia (arguably THE place for individual style!), so I’m trying to figure out the right balance of pressing the boundaries of my own style, while also staying true to me!

I love diving into the intersection of sports, fashion, and culture, and the girls at Styl-ish do it again with this episode! Sports stars are the ultimate aspirational figures, and they’re becoming billboards for some of the hottest brands… have you noticed?

When we trust algorithms to dictate what we see, we risk limiting what we believe is possible for our own work. Imagination becomes bounded not by skill or curiosity, but by predictive patterns designed to keep us engaged.

A wonderful read and look into why it seems that everything we purchase is getting more expensive but feeling cheaper in quality. Hint hint: it may have something to do with private equity…

Current: Our Goalchella Podcast Festival is on! We are keeping the festival going with Dr. Emily Hilz (dopamine, motivation, & the female brain!) and Katie Kelton (growing stronger in our financial health!). Check out the episodes on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple. Make sure to join us Backstage at Coachella!

I hope you guys enjoyed vol. 015 of The Smart Girl Newspaper! Stay tuned for next week!
