Girls Gotta Eat

We have a lot to unpack! Ashley turned 40 and is in a relationship, and Rayna reads fiction now and can’t stop being naked. We recap the best trip of our lives from the laughs to the luxury to the perineum sunning, and also discuss aging and being confident in your looks/body. Then we drag And Just Like That (again), hype Colleen Hoover (again), and deep dive on a listener question – should you date the person you have a better sexual or emotional connection with? Enjoy!

We are so honored to welcome back renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel to discuss a variety of topics for both people in relationships and those looking for love. She speaks on the challenge of meeting people today and gives advice for how single people can reframe dating (especially first dates). Moving onto relationships, we discuss how in every relationship someone needs more security and someone needs more freedom, how reactions in relationships are like a figure 8 and how to manage conflicts better, the theory of fundamental attribution error and thinking we are more complex than our partners, when we are most attracted to our partners and why, and the four things you can do in a relationship to keep the desire thriving. Before Esther joins us, we talk about guys having bad fashion on vacations, Rayna’s surgery, Ashley’s pregnancy prevention, and the stark difference in how we do laundry. We also answer a listener’s email about meeting a great guy right before moving and what she should do. Enjoy!

Everyone talks about manifesting, but do they actually know how to do it? We’re so excited to have manifestation expert and 2x bestselling author Roxie Nafousi walk us through the seven steps of manifesting to get what you want in your romantic life, career, friendships, finances, and more. In addition to the actionable steps, we also discuss overcoming tests from the universe (*cough* like your ex reappearing), the importance of gratitude (but why it’s not always the answer), and handling jealousy (both when you feel it and when others are projecting it onto you). Before Roxie joins us, we recap Rayna’s bicoastal birthday parties, our trip with Bill Greenberg, and the new guy in Ashley’s life. Enjoy!

*Trigger warning for sexual assault* We are joined by comedian Hanna Dickinson for an open, honest conversation about STIs, sexual assault, addiction to prescription drugs, and more.

Hanna also shares her story of being sexually assaulted by a rideshare driver and how she has been coping with the trauma. We also discuss body positivity and the pressure/desire to lose weight, Adderall addiction, and (on a lighter note) Hanna’s exclusive interview with Ariana Madix.

Let’s talk about money, honey! We have Ramit Sethi, best-selling author and star of the hit Netflix show How to Get Rich, back for another game-changing interview. He’s breaking down renting vs. buying a home (and debunking myths and misconceptions), the four numbers you need to know when it comes to your spending, how to know if you can afford something, and most importantly – figuring out what your rich life is and how to achieve it. Plus, we’re discussing why couples don’t talk to each other about money, and how to talk to your partner about it in various scenarios (you have debt, they have debt, you make more, splitting expenses, etc.). Before Ramit joins us, we’re talking about the theory of which body part you wash first says something about you, and thoughts about going off birth control. Enjoy!
