This week on The Gal’s Guide, we’re diving into “The Great Lock In” — TikTok’s latest trend encouraging us to use September through December as our most productive season. Think of it as a reset before the holidays: the time to lock in on your goals, stay consistent with your routines, and finally cross those short-term goals off your list. Whether it’s getting in shape, saving money, or just proving to yourself that you can commit, we’re talking about how to maximize this season of discipline while still leaving room for fun. We also talk about Kendra and Netflix's newest documentary, Unknown Number!
