Episode 7: Girl, Be Serious It's 2016 with CJ!

Everyone’s talking about 2016 like it was the peak of life. But did we really miss the year… or just the way it felt? In this episode of Girl, Be Serious, I’m joined by special guest CJ as we reflect on why nostalgia hits so hard — the music, the movies, the moments — and what that says about who we are now. From Drake’s One Dance to La La Land, 2016 had a vibe we can’t stop craving. We break down why we can miss our past selves without going back, how to bring the lightness of 2016 into today, and why it’s okay to grieve the versions of ourselves we’ve left behind. If you’ve been scrolling through throwbacks and feeling all the feels, this episode is for you.









Hey, it's Riss! Welcome to the very first episode of Girl, Be Serious — the podcast where we stop pretending to have it all figured out and just say the things everyone’s thinking. This week, I’m answering your listener questions about who I am, why I started this show, and how to deal with life when it feels like everyone else is ahead. Spoiler: they’re not. It’s honest, chaotic, kind of therapeutic, and accidentally funny. Basically… me in audio form. 💌 Let’s be friends! Instagram: GirlBeSeriousPod TikTok: Radio_Rizzo Podcast Email: [e-mail]
