My Favorite Girlboss Shows to Binge When Business Gets Tough

Oct 17

I’m going to admit it straight out the gate- I watch TV ALL THE TIME while working. Especially when I’m feeling under the weather...or pressure. It keeps my happy on while I try to knock out as much work as possible.

There are plenty of great shows out there right now, but which ones feature the best girl bosses? I gravitate toward my favorite boss babe shows when I call in a mental health day or I’m just feeling particularly overwhelmed by business ownership. Everyone’s been there! More than likely, you may even have your set of go-to girl boss shows to get you through a tough day.

Here are some of my favorites though, in case you need a new show to add to your watchlist. Or to binge watch again. Nothing wrong with a binge x2.

Let’s hop into it!

My Top 5 Girlboss Shows:

Where are all my gladiators at? Prep that popcorn and glass of wine because no matter where you are in Scandal’s seasons, every episode features more than 3 women absolutely serving in their work lives. Personally? It’s messy. But it sure is addicting to watch. Anytime I watch an episode, I want to throw on my long winter coat, boots and deliver some of Kerry Washington’s one liners to someone who deserves to shiver in their boots.

There is 100% nothing but happiness each time an episode of this show comes on. This is my go-to when I’m forced to work in bed when sick or just feeling down. Each character is guaranteed to make you laugh and it never gets old. Ask my friends, we’ve watched the seasons multiple times and will still text each other jokes from the episodes. 10/10 won’t judge if you haven’t seen it yet, but will 100% judge if you don’t put it on your rainy day watchlist.

I LOVE The Bold Type! Three best friends, NYC and jobs working at a high fashion magazine. Sign. Me. Up. It’s a little bit Sex & The City, little bit Devil Wears Prada, but 100% original to how each character takes on today’s topics from gun control, sexism to LGBTQ. You’ll have yourself feeling empowered each episode. Most importantly, you’ll be texting your fellow girl bosses to discuss if you’re a Kat, Jane or Sutton.

Hilary Duff. Need I say more? This is the closest we’ll get until the new Lizze McGuire comes to our screens. The premise of the show is of a mother, after getting a divorce starts looking for work but after getting turned away for her work gap as well as age, tells a little lie and POOF she’s in her 20s working at a publishing house. The antics to keep the secret covered up, the friend group she develops and romances make this show one of my absolute favorites. Curve balls galore too! Each season finale is left on a MAJOR cliffhanger. Plus, they just got renewed for a 7th season. You know they must be doing something right!

This show is riddled with badass women including our very own Duchess of Sussex! What makes this show binge-worthy? The twists and turns, sassy back and forths plus Donna. Don’t know who Donna is? She’s the woman I aspire to be. And probably you too when you add this to your watch list. No matter the kind of day, this show will instantly make you feel like you can take on the world.

There you have it! Just a few of my favorite scripted shows for rainy days. Could be a mental health day, sick day or just plain- I don’t wanna work days, these shows will instantly perk you up! Maybe even enough for you to whip out the laptop again and knock out some work while bingeing.
