Girls Gotta Eat

Yes, it's a wedding episode, but with a lot of twists and turns! We are joined by Jamie Lee, comedian, actor, author of the book Weddiculous: An Unfiltered Guide to Being a Bride, and host of The Wedding Coach on Netflix, to talk about the ups and downs of getting married. We discuss how to set yourself up for success and also manage conflict with your partner during the planning process so it doesn't tear you apart. And we're getting real about pulling the plug on a wedding even when you feel like "the train has left the station." Most importantly, we discuss bachelorette parties, and hooking up at weddings (ahem, what brides and grooms can do to help their single friends out). AND we're recapping Ashley's brother's wedding and the action Rayna got while staying in the house with the family. Hope you enjoy!

She also opens up to us about how working in porn has affected her relationships/marriages. And we're catching up on Rayna's recent rendezvous and Ashley's missed connection. Hope you enjoy!

The pandemic completely changed our day-to-day lives, but what about our sex lives? We're discussing how the last year affected couples and singles, and what the fuck the future of sex, dating, and relationships will look like. Our guest is Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Jessica Pels, and we're unpacking data gathered by an incredible study by the Kinsey Institute in partnership with Cosmo and Esquire (spoiler alert: pleasure is the priority).

On this episode, we are sharing stories from our listeners about dating as a woman of color, from messages they receive on apps to partners not understanding their experiences to fetishization. We're also bringing on a former (and favorite) guest Amy Chan, founder of Breakup Bootcamp, to discuss her experience growing up as an Asian woman, feeling shame as a child to leaning into the sexy stereotypes as a young woman, and her mindset today. We also discuss how to talk to your partner about these topics. And before we dive in, we're up to our usual antics with a divorced dude date story from Rayna, Ashley being single-shamed, and a tip for taking your phone sex to the next level. Enjoy!

Are divorced guys the answer? We're unpacking it and Rayna is leaning in.

Real talk -- most of us have an inner stalker and women are born with innate detective skills so let's get into it. We're talking about all the crazy avenues of finding info on the internet, whether you should stalk before a first date, how far is too far, harmless stalking vs. invasive snooping, creeping on a current partner vs. an ex, tracking device hacks (LOL), hotel security, and more. Of course we're sharing some of our own stalker stories and hilarious submissions from our listeners. And we're also catching up on the inauguration, a recent Bachelor nation breakup, and TV/movie recommendations both old and new. This episode is dedicated to our angel boy Dewey whose spirit will always live in the house studio.

There's a reason why there are so many incredible, successful, beautiful women who struggle to find a decent partner, while (*cough* mediocre) men seem to have no problem on the dating scene, and we're deep diving into the data behind this frustrating phenomenon with Jon Birger, author of Date-Onomics and the upcoming book Make Your Move. We discuss how geography plays a part (yes, there are cities/towns where the odds are more in one gender's favor), and how women can widen their dating pool. And we're also chatting about making the first move, how and why to do it, the bad advice women have been given for years, and Jon offers his strategy for finding a compatible partner (spoiler alert: it involves getting off the apps). We also review Bridgerton, debate some sexual language Ashley received, and Rayna reveals her new bush goal.  Enjoy!

We have the hilarious, refreshingly honest duo Cat and Nat join us to spit some real truths about motherhood and marriage -- everything from feeling lost as a new mom (which is what bonded them together) to why marriage isn't a fairytale (don't worry, they're both happily married). We're also discussing how Covid has changed them forever, how they balance a sex life with 7 kids between them, why you shouldn't look for a "best friend" in the person you marry, and their team of male strippers (spoiler alert: they've stripped for us, too).

Free therapy session alert! We are joined by the incredible author/psychotherapist/TED speaker Lori Gottlieb to discuss that big, scary (but it doesn't have to be!) thing called CHANGE. We're chatting with her about changing your patterns when you keep dating the wrong people over and over, the steps to making changes of any kind (small or large), and how to stop beating yourself up over missteps. We also discuss the way we narrate our lives and how to examine your "storytelling" to make positive changes, and share advice for when you're feeling depressed/rejected/anxious.
