  • Butler listener
    Favorite encouraging podcast!
    I have been an avid listener of the Girls Night podcast for over 5 years and no matter how my season of life has changed, Stephanie has been there to speak truth and encouragement into it! I love the variety of "lifestyle" topics and that I can trust they all come from a Christian prospective! Forever a fan of Stephanie, this podcast, and the resources she puts out!!
  • Alexis BFF
    Amazing!
    I’ve been listening to Stephanie’s podcasts for six or more years. She tends to release the exact podcast or blog post I need at just the right time in my life. I found her podcasts when I was single, and now I’m married and still find so much value and encouragement from the conversations she shares with other women. Thank you for creating Girl’s Night!
  • 4His-story
    Valuable Podcast!
    Young or old, single or married, Stephanie May Wilson’s podcast is so timely for today. Fun and upbeat but with nitty gritty topics that create lightbulb moments about yourself and others around you in life-giving ways, drenched in the light and love of God. Sooo appreciate this podcast as a fun, important, safe space and helpful breather along the racetrack of life. I find myself turning to this podcast when I don’t know what to do about something or if I need a healthy break. Thank you Stephanie for bringing Girl’s Night to life anywhere anytime it’s needed!

  • Andra Newsh
    Excellent!
    I discovered this podcast on a drive home today from a weekend out of town and already listened to 3 episodes! Very relatable and guests had great tips/stories as well!
  • #annelise
    I am not alone
    The biggest struggle I have had when it comes to thinking of having kids is the fact that I know myself and I do not want to be a stay at home mom, I don’t want to end up like my mom who sacrificed everything and burned out being a mom, and I want a partnership. I have gotten so much push back in Christian communities because of this. I am actually trying to move to Europe because of the culture shift of there and here when it comes to support of mothers in the work force. I have been listening to this show since the beginning and have gotten so many treasures from it but this episode has been so validating.
  • Kimbyann84

    Monday Morning Fav
    Listening to Stephanie talk about the Everything Era on her podcast is like getting a warm encouraging hug from a dear friend. I look forward to her new episodes every Monday morning!
  • JLin1218
    It’s girls night!
    As someone who works from her car often, I am always looking for podcasts, someone to call or new music to play. Every time a new episode of Girls Night comes out I race to find it and listen in because I know I’m in for a treat. It’s like talking to your best friend for an hour giggling and getting real life advice and feedback. Girls Night helps me refresh for the day. Like a guilty pleasure but without the guilt. Stephanie is fun, genuine and provides advice for all seasons of life.
  • KatieStock
    A Ray of Sunshine Podcast!
    I’ve been following Stephanie May Wilson for a few years, and even completed her journal “The Between Places.” I’m so grateful she brings speakers like Dr. Meg Jay onto her podcast to share important messages for young women to know we’re not alone in how we’re feeling! Thank you Stephanie for everything you create!
  • It’s ASH
    This is a must listen to episode :)
    I finished your episode titled “Dating advice I wish I could go back and give myself” I will be listening to more of them, not to sound rude that’s rare for me due to how fast I feel podcast episodes become a bore. With this episode, I do find some parts that really correlates to my life. Also I’ve had one serious relationship in my life, don’t want to get into great detail about the abuse but it was filled with every type of abuse you can imagine, I also lived with seclusion, fear, no intimacy after 12 months, slept on different sides of the house after that, causing total loss of all my self worth and confidence that lead me to depression anxiety and painful panic attacks. Reason for saying that, I am hoping your episode touches on some of these subjects. But after healing, I realize that most men look at me like an object a prize they’d do anything to get, after they’ve had their fun they go try to find the best one .. So I’ve stayed single not allowing a single man to connect with me not even allowing true intimacy only meaningless sex. But as of recently one man has made me look at everything different .. I am scared, having to just admit it to myself made it so real. I don’t know if I can do this to myself. So I can’t wait to listen to more and learn from topics that are discussed. Thank you for putting out your time energy and encouragement to all of us.

    Love this podcast!
    Stephanie comes across as very genuine and kind. You can tell she is passionate about building other women up and is solid in her Christian faith. Her social media isn’t focused on self-promotion, which I also appreciate. Been listening to Girls Night for years and will continue to do so!
  • Nobodynope

    My Go-To Gal Pal Podcast!
    If you haven't tuned into the Girls Night podcast yet, you're seriously missing out! I've been following Steph's journey for what feels like forever, and let me tell you, she's like that cool big sister you wish you had. She covers all things womanhood with a grab bag of topics from relationships and homemaking to faith, travel, and everything in between. Stephanie’s whole vibe is like a warm hug plus a pep talk from your bestie. She's all about keeping it real and encouraging us to embrace who we are, flaws and all. It's like having a heart-to-heart with your closest girlfriends, but you can listen to it anytime, anywhere. If you're craving some girl talk, empowerment, or just a good laugh, do yourself a favor and hit play on "Girls Night." Trust me, you'll feel like you're chatting with your BFF in no time!

    The Absolute Best.
    Update: Me again! I’m not sure how I stumbled upon Girls’ Night, but I’ve been listening since day one. This podcast has given me community and wisdom. I’ve laughed and cried while driving, styling my hair, and folding my laundry. This podcast has met me where I am and has felt like my best friend, sister, and mom. I am so excited for the changes to come in Season 19 and am SO, so thrilled to continue learning from these women I look up to. — Girls’ Night was something I woke up thinking about every monday morning during my darkest days. Days when my family didn’t want anything to do with me, days when my sister said no to being my maid of honor, days when I felt so, so alone. I had community, virtual girlfriends to look up to, and somewhere to gain wisdom, cry, and laugh. I love, love, LOVE Girls’ Night and everything that Steph stands for. Can’t wait to order her new prayer journal in August!😍💕
  • justtme:)
    Girls Night is my favorite night!
    I love Stephanie’s podcast! It feels like I am hanging out with my closest girlfriends as I listen! I love the different perspectives I get on so many different topics. This podcast is always very inspirational, reassuring and heart warming. My friends love listening, too!

    Open, honest, and helpful conversations
    You know those conversations that are just really tough to have, even with your best friends or family? Well Stephanie is able to talk you through a variety of topics and make it easy to understand. It’s like the one friend that knows everything, and if she doesn’t, she knows someone that does. It makes listening to this podcast a necessity every week for me.

    Favorite Podcast Throughout the Years!
    Stephanie is the ultimate big sister we all need! This podcast has guided me through college, friendships, dating, career decisions, and even marriage advice! Steph and all of her wonderful friends have helped me walk through some tough seasons as well as the exciting ones! The thing that keeps me coming back is the big sister advice but the thing that makes this podcast addictive is Steph’s voice, I don’t know how someone can sound like glitter, but she does!
  • bluelephant6
    Fun and Down To Earth!
    I’ve been listening since Stephanie began her podcast in 2017. She has great guests and asks deep, insightful questions to get quality information with a faith focus. Stephanie is such a fun host and is sweet and down to earth. Highly recommend!
  • RebelNerd23
    Just like a Girls Night!
    I have been listening to Girls Night now since, I think, 2019, and it’s one of my favorite podcasts, if not, my favorite!! Stephanie is so real and sweet. Listening to her has helped me grow in my relationships and my faith and has given me some really practical advice as well! Listening to Girls Night really does feel like you’re sitting on a kitchen counter or couch with Stephanie and her guest and maybe some of your friends too, eating ice cream out of a mug, rocking your favorite and most company pjs, and having an amazing conversation with a long time friend! So thankful for Girls Night!

    Growing With the Girls
    I have really enjoyed listening to Girls Night. Stephanie covers a wide range of topics that are relevant and have really helped me grow in my walk with Christ and life in general. It really does feel like a Girls Night every time I sit down to listen!
  • Carrington B.
    UNMATCHED
    Stephanie brings something so unique to the table of the podcast world. She truly feels like a friend who’s known you since childhood. I have learned so much from Stephanie over the years through this podcast and her LYSL course. She is truly a blessing from the Lord to this generation!! If not for Girls Night, I would not have heard of some of her guests who run a national college ministry, and that would have resulted in my college not having a chapter. The kingdom impact of this space is endless. You are going to love it here!

  • Schlotzie
    Gold!
    SMW gets to be everyone’s kinder, wiser, big sister using the microphone to (figuratively) hold our hands and cheer us on. She is a ray of sunshine-and she brings substance to her platform. And she points us to Jesus. I wish it were a real sister relationship, like the “can I borrow your sweater for my date?” kind!

    Steph is an incredible women who loves the Lord! Her episodes are practical but still so Spirit led and impactful. She speaks on a wide variety of topics and brings in amazing guests! There is something for everyone! I run to some, clean my house, or listen in the car. Thank you for serving and helping so many people and being bold in your calling!

    Perfect Weekly Encouragement
    Girls Night is the perfect place for anyone who is looking for encouragement as they navigate through all of life’s stages as a woman! There is no better way to make it through these things that with your girl friends and Stephanie creates an environment that feels like you’re getting advice from a friend you’ve known for years. I’ve been listening to the podcast since 2017 and continue to tune in every week to grow in my faith and in my confidence!
