Girls Gotta Eat

We kicked off 2020 with the episode title/mantra of "Fuck More Cry Less" and well...that took a turn. We're recapping this dumpster fire of a year, but focusing on the lessons learned, positives that came out of it, and all the laughs along the way. We're counting down the Top 10 pop culture moments, revealing our biggest sex surprise of 2020 and sex goals for 2021, and sharing our listeners' thirsty thoughts on our guests from this year as well as their inspiring and hilarious goals for the year to come. We hope you enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley @AshHess, and Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg. Check our website for show dates and merchandise.

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). And we tell a story about something hilarious/embarrassing that happened to Rayna, Ashley recaps her latest date, and we have a slew of recs for you. Enjoy and happy holidays!

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. Plus, we're catching up on a recent engagement (hint: one of our exes) and dating guys who have been vaccinated, AND bringing back a hilarious round of Is This Weird? Hope you enjoy!

It's our long-awaited episode about the choice to not have children. (And we can't stress it enough, we have mad love for the moms and respect the decision to have children wholeheartedly.) We're discussing our decisions and how we got to them, how we view our future being childfree, tackling the talk with family members as well as potential partners, and we're spitting some stats. We're also sharing stories from our rebellious teen years along with our listeners' "wild child" submissions, and catching up on ass play (Rayna's latest foray into trying to enjoy it, and Ashley's hot take on the situation).

We have comedian/hilarious storyteller/great boyfriend Giulio Gallarotti join us and open up about his relationship and why it works, including his girlfriend setting the pace from the start, keeping their own independence, and how they communicate when they're apart. We're also discussing staying friends with exes and Giulio shares an insane story about trying to get an ex back. He also manalyzes bush vs. no bush and guys' disappointing responses to nudes, and we chat about getting off/not getting off during oral sex.

Get ready to ask yourself some questions, including "Are you bringing your milkshake to the yard?" We have author, mindfulness pro, and note-writing guru Case Kenny join us to discuss why being single is your superpower, mindfulness and dating with intention, decoding mixed signals, the importance of being yourself, why looks matter less than you think, shifting your mindset after rejection, and more.

It's long overdue, but finally here: Our STYLE episode! We have our friend and incredible stylist/professional hype girl Lillian Charles in the house to talk about all things clothes, closets, bodies, boobs, and more. She explains why "it's not your body, it's your clothes", gives life-changing advice for cleaning out your closet, tells us what the majority of women are doing wrong with their wardrobes, and shares tips for dressing for your body type (tall, short, plus-size, big-breasted, flat-chested, etc.) including the best brands to shop. We're also talking about dressing for dates AND sharing our listeners' submissions for the most ridiculous things guys have showed up wearing.

It's just us this week, and we have a lot to talk about. We're recapping the election from the CNN zaddies to election night charcuterie to our experiences on announcement day and our hopes for the future. We're also chatting about conflict with family/friends surrounding politics and some tips for managing, especially as the holidays near. And of course we wouldn't let you down with our regularly scheduled programming -- we both had WTF moments with dudes over the weekend, but we're sharing an optimistic outlook for the dating landscape going forward. AND we're serving up a hilarious segment of That Took a Turn, and recapping the wild outcome of The Bachelorette. Enjoy!

You might want to take notes on this one because we covered A LOT of ground with the hilarious and insightful Nina Parker of E's Nightly Pop and Dating #NoFilter. We're discussing tips and knowledge for dating better -- first impressions (and why they don't matter), do's and dont's for dates, body language, compliments, RED ASS FLAGS, effective bios and opening lines on dating apps, and more. But we're also diving deeper and chatting about Nina's career journey, healing after a breakup, knowing yourself and what you want, and the importance of shooting your shot (especially in 2020). And we share how we're feeling about the upcoming election. We hope you enjoy! Follow Nina on Instagram @MzGossipGirl and watch Dating #NoFilter on E! returning 11/18.
