PODCAST by SCOUT

In the first-ever guest episode of PODCAST by SCOUT, Gabrielle sits down with Jessica Meltzer for a salon-style conversation that begins with our collective obsession with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy...and unravels into something much deeper. Together, they explore what the CBK trend really reveals about the stories women have been sold about being chosen, why we've turned a woman who died tragically into a mood board, and the uncomfortable inheritance of the princess narrative. The conversation moves through nineties nostalgia, the death of mystery in the social media age, wealth narratives, quiet luxury, brand versus business building, and what it actually means to become your own dream woman rather than emulate someone else's life.This episode sets the tone for what guest conversations on PODCAST by SCOUT will feel like going forward.Things Referenced in This Episode:REVUE essay: "CBK Made Me Depressed"Jessica Meltzer's SubstackJessica Meltzer's website: https://www.jessameltzer.com/The Salon at REVUE: Apply. here: www.revuewoman.com/the-salonFollow AlongInstagram: @gabriellescoutmaio REVUE Newsletter: Subscribe HERE Scout's Agency: Learn more HEREAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this Q&A episode of PODCAST by SCOUT, Gabrielle Scout answers three listener questions with the depth, honesty, and emotional intelligence that only comes from living it. Written down in her Louis Vuitton Carnet and answered old-school — analog over digital, always — this conversation moves through decades, desire, ambition, and the quiet art of tending to yourself while building something that matters.Topics explored in this episode include:Why your twenties are not your most important decade — and why you shouldn't be afraid to leave them behind.The reframe that changes everything for ambitious, multi-passionate women: stop collapsing your timeline into today and start spreading your desires across 5, 10, even 20 years.How Gabrielle architects her dream life by giving herself a 15-year plan — and why that's made her more focused, not less.The honest truth about mental health and entrepreneurship, from someone who has been in therapy for 15 years, received a bipolar diagnosis, and written an entire book on the subject.Why the success of a business is directly proportional to the founder's mental health — and the daily practices that keep Gabrielle grounded.This episode is for the woman who wants it all and feels the weight of that wanting. It's a permission slip to breathe, zoom out, and trust that everything you desire has a time and a place — it just might not be right now.Referenced in This Episode:The Emotional Entrepreneur by Gabrielle ScoutYou Can Heal Your Life by Louise HayFollow Along:Instagram: @gabriellescoutmaio REVUE Newsletter: Subscribe to REVUE, a weekly Sunday letter for the most interesting woman in the room HEREScout's Agency: Learn more about Scout's Agency, a visibility atelier specializing in curated podcast tours and cultural placement for women in positions of authority HEREAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In this deeply personal and culturally nuanced episode of PODCAST by SCOUT, Gabrielle explores a phrase she never imagined reclaiming: the male gaze. What began as a vulnerable question inside a REVUE Salon conversation on sensuality evolved into an essay, a wave of responses from women, and ultimately this episode.Gabrielle traces the cultural origins of the term, acknowledges the very real wounds attached to it, and then asks a provocative question: What if we stepped away from the male gaze to survive… and now we can return to it with discernment?This episode is not about abandoning feminism. It is about exploring whether desire, reverence, and being seen by the right man can coexist with sovereignty, ambition, and power. It is about the difference between predatory consumption and sacred desire. It is about courting, receiving, and remembering that womanhood does not disappear when independence arrives.Things Referenced in This Episode:Gabrielle’s REVUE essay: The Male Gaze Made Me Feel Like a Woman AgainREVUE NewsletterThe SALON by REVUE membership applicationFollow AlongInstagram: @gabriellescoutmaioREVUE Newsletter: A weekly letter for the most interesting woman in the roomScout’s Agency: Podcast marketing and authority-building for ambitious foundersAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Gabrielle offers thoughtful, grounded insight on how to live in alignment without shrinking to meet external approval.Topics explored in this episode include:Navigating judgment from in-laws, family, and social circles when personal choices fall outside traditional or cookie-cutter expectationsWhy approaching 30 without marriage or children does not mean being behind, and how to release pressure tied to outdated societal timelinesRedefining what it means to be an “IT girl” through embodiment, self-trust, and internal confidence rather than external validationHow comparison culture clouds decision-making and disconnects women from intuitionA candid discussion on femininity, sensuality, and expressing the body with confidenceThis episode is an invitation to let go of the shoulds, trust inner alignment, and become the woman one already is, without asking permission or explaining the choices that feel true.Things Referenced in This Episode:The Interesting Woman Archetype episodeFollow AlongInstagram: Follow Gabrielle Scout at @gabriellescoutmaio REVUE Newsletter: Subscribe to REVUE, a weekly Sunday letter for the most interesting woman in the room HEREScout’s Agency: Learn more about Scout’s Agency, a visibility atelier specializing in curated podcast tours and cultural placement for women in positions of authority HEREAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
