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
