Girls Gotta Eat

We have another free therapy session with a favorite return guest -- psychologist, author, and speaker Guy Winch! On this episode, we're breaking down complaining from all angles, including the problem with not voicing your complaints to your partner, to how much complaining is too much in a relationship. We're also discussing the most effective way to complain both in relationships and in general life situations (like with a retailer or landlord), how to deal with chronic complainers (whether they're your partner, friend, or parent), and friendships defined by complaining. Plus, we cover how to complain in a funny way and sexual complaints (separate topics lol). Before Guy joins us, we're catching up on one of Rayna's former prospects back in the mix and Ashley's body still being fucked up. Enjoy!

We are honored to be joined again by psychotherapist and bestselling author Lori Gottlieb to discuss a topic so many can relate to: The mother daughter relationship. Lori expertly and compassionately walks us through how to navigate a strained relationship with a mother (or parent) if you have resentment about your childhood/their parenting, feel like they are critical or competitive with you, are lacking boundaries or the tools to express your feelings to them, or just want a better relationship in general. We are also discussing our relationships with our moms; and before we jump into the topic, we're opening up (maybe too much) about some body stuff, unpacking a spooky situation, and recapping Selling the OC.

We're talking about the trend of "quiet quitting," and if you don't know what that is -- don't worry, we're breaking it down and sharing our feelings. We discuss our careers, millennials vs. Gen Z, and give tips for having a career you love (if that's what you want). Also Rayna recaps her (second) breast reduction, and Ashley shares a date story and the best text response when someone from your past hits you up. Plus, we have TV and book recs. Enjoy!

As the 10th anniversary of dating apps approaches, we're answering the question: What are we even doing here? We're joined once again by GGE fave, Jared Freid, to get inside the male mind when it comes to the apps (Why are guys on them? Why do they pen pal? How do you know if a guy only wants to fuck?), discuss the love and hate for them, and how to best approach the swiping experience. We're also reporting our audience poll results for how many people are actually on the apps and succeeding, and giving tips for how to get from app-to-date and best opening lines. And we recap why Ashley officially deleted Hinge and the dream guy Rayna met in the wild. Enjoy! Follow Jared on Instagram @JaredFreid and check out his podcasts U Up? and The JTrain Podcast.

If you’ve ever been ghosted or gaslit by someone who wasn’t deserving of your energy in the first place, this episode is for you. We’re discussing how we allow people we’re dating (or barely dating) to make us feel anxiety and self-doubt, why we shouldn't, and how to reframe these situations. We’re sharing our experiences and our listeners’ answers to “I knew I was too good for them when”, and before we get into the topic, we’re joking about our travel quirks/differences, discussing a hot guy pet peeve, and sharing the names we almost had.

It's PARTY TIIIME....and by that we mean discussing party habits in a relationship. We're deep diving on drinking and dating and how to assess the dynamic when you and your partner don't align, plus chatting about drugs, socializing (introverts vs. extroverts), trust issues, drunk fights, our past experiences, and more.

It's one of our favorite types of episodes -- just four ladies sitting around talking about dating and dick. We had Medinah Monroe and Kiki Said So of Cocktales Podcast in studio for a hilarious conversation about traveling for dick, being sexually fluid/eating pussy, paying/not paying on dates, how much a first date should cost, eating ass, blowjob tips, and more. Before the ladies join us, we're talking about siblings dating someone you don't like, Rayna's plane behavior, Ashley's new dating goal, and a deep, dark sex toy confession. Enjoy!

We're so excited to welcome a much-requested, long-awaited guest on the show -- Mark Groves! As a human connection specialist and incredible voice in the relationship analysis space, we tapped into him to ask a burning question: Why are people so bad at dating?

Before Mark joins us, we're recapping the second half of our trip, a masturbation revelation, and some fresh recs. Hope you enjoy!
