It's another game changing conversation; we're taking an essential look at texting with Dr. Mimi Winsberg and discussing how this important form of communication relates to our compatibility and chemistry with someone and can even predict the fate of a relationship. Mimi walks us through the five texting languages, how texts can help you determine someone's personality type early on, toxic text traits, landmines to avoid when texting, emojis, response time, spotting liars, and more. Before Mimi joins us, we're spilling some tea on our families, recommending the shows we've been loving, and confessing what we literally don't care about lately. Enjoy!

We're breaking down weaponized incompetence, and how it hurts (mainly) women and ruins relationships. If you don't know what it is, you've probably experienced it in some way; and don't worry, we're defining it and discussing ways to spot it and stop it. We're sharing our stories and examples from our listeners, and recommending a life changing book for overwhelmed mothers (Fair Play by Eve Rodsky). Before diving into the topic, we're recapping the insane Bachelor finale, opening up about our buttholes, and reading a WILD Bumble exchange via Jenny Jones. Enjoy!

We're so happy to welcome podcaster/dancer/winemaker/Bachelor Nation legend Kaitlyn Bristowe, and she's getting just as refreshingly candid as we expected about her relationship, previous breakup, mental health, and more. We're chatting about dating someone more private (when you're not), how she and Jason got out of the friend zone, hormonal depression, nudes, period sex, and more. AND we were inspired to bring back Is This Weird? (you'll see why). Before Kaitlyn joins us, we are deep diving on the relationship "soft launch" -- what it means, how to do it, and our experiences.

It's a breakup episode for the books with one of our besties (more Rayna's friend) Emily Fedner! We chat briefly about Emily's awesome and inspirational food career before we get into her recent breakup and the ~journey~ from stunned and heartbroken to surviving and thriving. She opens up about being blindsided by her partner of 6+ years, the feelings she'd been having about the relationship before it happened, and how she overcame the debilitating heartbreak (spoiler alert: she's back on the dating scene and killing it). We think this story will resonate with so many, and we're so happy she shared her truth with the GGE family. Before Emily joins us, we're recapping our California sexcapades. Enjoy!

It's our 4-year anniversary episode and a long-awaited topic: BLOWJOBS! We're covering it all from tips and tricks to visualization techniques to spitting/swallowing, and we're reframing the whole experience in terms of "blowjobs" vs. "sucking dick" (which may lessen the anxiety for anyone with a blowbia). Before we dive into dick, we answer burning listener questions and spill a little tea, recap our Miami trip, and review a few recent shows we loved. Hope you enjoy!

Rachel doesn't hold back as we discuss her sexual awakening after growing up in a strict, religious family, the challenges and outside judgements of her interracial relationship, her marriage being long-distance for a period of time (and how they kept it spicy), speaking out against the Bachelor franchise, and which Bachelor she wanted to sleep with but didn't.
