The key to manifesting may not be what you think it is, and we have one of the OGs in the spiritual space, Gabby Bernstein, to talk about it. She just released her tenth book, Self Help, and shares her simple four-step practice that can help you turn inward, heal, and manifest the life you want for yourself. We talk about limiting beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves (“I’m not good enough”, “If I don’t do it, no one else will”, “I’m the only single one”), how the wellness space has changed in the last 20 years, the issue she sees the most in couples, and who she wants to set Rayna up with. Before Gabby joins us, we catch up on recent travels, Ashley starting her tour, and a situation Rayna had with a guy (including our fave text of the year so far). Enjoy!  Follow Gabby on Instagram @gabbybernstein, listen to her podcast Dear Gabby, get her latest book Self Help, and check out her website for more.

Strap in for an unfiltered (and inspirational) journey with the hilarious Jiaoying Summers. She takes us through growing up in China with an overprotective mother, to then coming to the US and finding love with someone whose family didn’t approve of her, breaking up, and then marrying a controlling man who she had children with. She takes us through that divorce and what she had to do to break away and bring her kids to the US with no money and a desire to pursue standup comedy. We discuss her sex life with her current partner (and he makes a cameo), her current relationship with her mom, the huge celebs who are fans of HER, how she got confident later in life, being a role model to her kids, and so much more. And then we answer some “Is this weird?” listener submissions about eating ass and cheating. Before Jiaoying joins us, we discuss the appropriate length of voice notes, Ashley’s recent beef with her fiancé/roommate, and a story about Rayna in Austin we’ve been gatekeeping. Enjoy!

We loved our conversation with Emily Farris, author of I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes, about being diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and how it has impacted her life, especially in relationships. She shares her story of feeling different growing up and what brought her to getting a diagnosis, how she manages it now, dating with ADHD, social anxiety and drinking, hyper fixation and time blindness (ahem, chronically late people), the issues that arose in her marriage, postpartum anxiety, and her decision to get divorced. We also chat about dating someone who is neurodivergent, and the types of people who are best equipped (and worst equipped) to enter into that relationship dynamic. Before Emily joins us, Rayna has been making men feel needed, and we share the whole story of finding Ashley’s wedding dress. Enjoy!

We loved chatting and laughing with comedian Matthew Broussard about proposals, orgasms, fights in a relationship, and more. He shares his unconventional engagement story and lets us into his relationship with his fiancé, including why vibrators are a must in the bedroom. We also talk about masturbating stigma, the complexity of the female orgasm, and whether guys fake orgasms. And we answer the question “Who starts more fights in the relationship – men or women?” and analyze some listener emails about blowjobs to completion, and why one woman’s boyfriend won’t let her post him on social media. Before Matthew joins us, we catch up on our trip to Austin, Ashley being deep in wedding planning, and Rayna going hard in her dating era. Enjoy!

We’re joined by author and influencer Ricky Liorti, and it’s been a long time coming (we share the story of how roasting him in 2022 led to this interview). We talk about his dating life, what he’s looking for and why he’s not willing to settle for less, and we give our analysis. We’re discussing the importance of being with someone who shares your interests, how living your best single life will help you find your perfect person, how heartbreak led him to writing his book, and the way men and women process breakups differently.

If you want to hone your sex appeal, this episode is made for you. We are excited to be joined once again by sex educator, author, and new MasterClass instructor Shan Boodram, and this time with her partner Jared Brady, to talk all about what makes us sexy and how to draw people in. We’re discussing the art of flirting, how to catch someone’s attention in public, moves like the “sexy eye triangle,” and how to keep a conversation exciting. We’re also talking about keeping the passion alive in a relationship, the five levels of communication you have with your partner, navigating dry spells, “choreplay,” and turn-on triggers. And we all share who our sexual icons are, and Shan and Jared share their one piece of advice for having sex appeal. Before our guests join us, we’re sharing our listeners’ answers to  “What’s the dumbest lie a guy has told you?” and we reveal one of our own that we’ve been laughing/wondering about for years.

We’re discussing all the things people hide from their partners, from getting Botox to spending habits to past sexual experiences, and more. We break down the different categories of “little white lies” and the motivations behind them, through research, our own experiences, and contributions from our audience. And we’re diving into age-old questions like “Do you have to tell your partner how many people you’ve slept with?” and “Do guys always lie when you ask them what they’re thinking about?” Before we get into the topic, we’re talking about health (microplastics, air quality, and more!), and the most searched fetish in every state.

If you couldn’t tell by the title, we have a very wholesome episode for you with love coach Shaun Galanos! We’re answering all those burning sex questions you may not feel comfortable asking in the group chat – what do you do with an uncircumcised penis, how do you get into anal, what should you call guys in bed, and how do you get your partner to initiate sex more? We’re also talking about Shaun’s background and his intriguing past as a sensual masseur, plus we’re breaking down a recent sexual encounter Rayna had (and its logistics), and discussing why bald guys give better oral. Before Shaun joins us, we’re debating some hot topics (what foods go in the fridge vs. on the counter, zip fly vs. button fly), and we break down the facts/risks when it comes to lip flips/filler and oral sex.

We are honored to be joined by Mel Robbins, author of the bestselling, life-changing book The Let Them Theory. We talk to her about the theory and how you can apply it to relationships, daily stress, career goals, and family conflicts to live a more free and authentic life. We discuss dating in depth – confusing behavior from someone early on, what’s a true dealbreaker and when to break up, how to know if you’re an energy match, what you can and can’t change about someone, how to have the DTR talk and stay in your power, and more. Mel coaches us on not letting small stressors (like inconsiderate people in the airport) take our energy, and we also talk about managing our mental health and using our voices in the current political climate. Before she joins us, we’re celebrating our 7-year anniversary of the podcast, Ashley gives an update on her roommate, and Rayna reveals why we lose socks in the dryer. Enjoy!
