Borderline Optimists is a cozy chaos podcast about chasing dreams, manifesting success, and spiraling with hope along the way. Hosted by Gabrielle Held and Christen Powell, two early-twenties film girls with very different vibes but the same starry-eyed outlook, this show blends film, girlhood, lifestyle, and the messy magic of post-college life. We’re talking following passions, making movies, surviving adulthood, and laughing at ourselves in the process. Will they “make it”? Probably. Will they win Oscars? Manifesting it.Gabrielle Held and Christen Powell Art
