Girls Gotta Eat

If you've ever wondered "Am I the drama?" or always find yourself as the receiver for other people's problems, this episode is for you. We are joined by psychologist and author Dr. Scott Lyons to talk about what drama addiction is (and what it isn't), the different types of personalities with this addiction, identifying it in yourself or someone else, how it can affect your health, and how to break the patterns and find peace. We also discuss the difference between trauma bonding and drama bonding, why gossiping feels so good, and the art of "fuck it." Before Scott joins us, we're recapping our Jackson Hole trip, why we stayed in separate hotels, and Rayna's horseback riding experience. AND we're announcing the themes of all our tour dates! Enjoy!

We're uncovering the truth about liars on this episode with psychologist and author Drew Curtis, PhD. We discuss pathological liars, why some people lie all the time (especially about insignificant things), and if there are ways to detect a liar. And of course we talk about lies and deception in dating – the point in a relationship where people lie most, the differences between what men and women lie about, the motivations for dishonesty, if you can regain trust after being deceived, and if "once a liar, always a liar" is true. Before Drew joins us, we're talking about Rayna's cowgirl fashion, Ashley's favorite/most random fan encounter, and we're popping off about people taking pics. Enjoy!

She shares how she turned a Covid dating strategy into a business and why her card games are the perfect way to elevate a date, your sex life, and more.

It's not you…it's the brain gap.

Kara educates us on the four traps of romantic socialization and why we feel crazy about dating even when we know we shouldn't, how women police themselves with their looks/body/aging and how to stop, why traditional "positive thinking" doesn't work and how to realistically bridge the brain gap, and why feminists struggle with engagement culture.

He shares how he spent so many years having negative self-talk and seeking external validation, and how he overcame his insecurities and found his identity. He also shares why extremes of self-help advice don't work and his realistic "ABC system" to achieve your goals. And we talk about relationships – his #1 tip for long-lasting partnership, the secret to how he and his wife have made it work so long, why who you choose to partner with is so important, where to find the people who embody what you're looking for, and how male insecurity is the root of all bad behavior. Before Sahil joins us, it's a circus of storytelling – a hilarious/embarrassing incident that happened to Rayna right before recording, our new vibrator debut, power ranking of guys who have stayed with Rayna, and Ashley's anniversary.

We are SO excited to be joined by Tinx to talk about box theory, reverse box theory, and a GGE exclusive – the Eating Box Theory. But there's so much more – we're discussing all the ways to take back your power in dating (and enjoy it more) by shifting your mindset, working the apps to your advantage, embracing your cringe, getting into your main character energy, and holding funerals when situationships end. We also discuss reinventing yourself, still lusting for an ex when you ended it, how to advocate for your own pleasure in bed, and more.

We are so excited to have Matthew Hussey back, fresh off the release of his amazing new book Love Life, to talk about raising your standards and finding love. He validates the stress (and often sadness) around finding a partner in the first place and why it's hard to "just relax," and then we discuss why you may need to fight against your own instincts when dating. Matthew breaks down how to raise your standards, recognize intention vs. attention, stop overvaluing the wrong people, and let go of "unhatched eggs." He also opens about his marriage and how, at the beginning of the relationship, his wife lowered the stakes while raising the standard. Lastly, we discuss finding the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship. Before Matthew joins us, we're talking about nudes, awkward customer service interactions, the plane window shade debate, and BOOTH BOYFRIENDS. Enjoy!

We are joined by Niko Emanuilidis (the Dean of The Daddy Academy) to explain some of that confusing male behavior and give tips and tools for how to get what you want.

She briefs us on what narcissists actually are and what motivates them, then we dive into the healing process, everything from recognizing to acceptance to how to communicate with them and finally, moving past the trauma and self-actualization. We also play a game with her – Narcissist or Not – crowd-sourced from our listeners. Before Dr. Ramani joins us, we're talking about the something men love to mansplain (that dries us right up), and the "dressing down theory" of having better luck on the dating scene when you're in casual, comfy clothes.

It's our 6-year anniversary episode (!!!) and another friendship topic our listeners asked for – when friends are in different life stages. We discuss how/why/when this happens and how to handle it, the self-talk, how friendships change (and sometimes for the better), and making new friends and/or strengthening other relationships.

We are so excited to have the queen of millennial musings herself, Kate Kennedy, back on the show. We discuss her new book One in a Millennial, the motivation for sharing the nostalgia and real stories behind this generation of woman, the paradox we've faced in our career paths, body image in the 90s/early aughts and its effects on us today, and how religion/purity culture can shape your sexuality to the point of confusion at best and trauma at worst. We reminisce on the mall glory days, our favorite Bath & Body Works scents, why Ashley was a fashion icon in high school, and where Rayna got her prom dresses. Kate also opens up about her indecisiveness to have children (spoiler alert: she had one), and the advice NOT to give someone struggling with this decision. Before Kate joins us, we are revealing how long we stayed on the family plan, ranting about the pet peeve all guys do around the house, and having an important discussion about plane safety and flight attendant humor.

We are kicking off the year with a very enlightening conversation with Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. We discuss these seven "sins" and the (wrong) notion we've been fed that a "good woman" is not supposed to indulge them, and why it's so much easier to damage a woman's reputation than a man's. We chat about embracing pride, using your envy to figure out what you want in life, owning your lustfulness, and why anger is a positive emotion. We also talk about the nonstop policing and judging of women's bodies, why we punish ourselves for being "gluttonous," and how we can learn to accept our bodies. There is so much ground covered, but above all – the importance of women supporting each other in the name of world domination. Before Elise joins us, we're doing a quick Christmas/appetizer contest recap, sharing our goals for 2024, as well as some from our audience, and announcing the official slogan for the year. Enjoy!

This episode is a game changer when it comes to understanding yourself in relationships thanks to long-awaited guest Dr. Nicole LePera, holistic psychologist and bestselling author. Nicole covers so much ground, including why we seek out relationships that feel familiar but aren't healthy for us (and how to stop), why fear of rejection can be debilitating, and the difference between relationships that are empowered and disempowered. We dissect trauma bonding (both the power and danger of it), and also discuss how couples misinterpret each other's behaviors (touching on love languages, but going even deeper) and how you can better understand each other instead of expecting them to change. Nicole also tells us about her throuple and the dynamics of it. Before she joins us, we catch up on Ashley's recent altercation on a plane, Rayna's observations about sisters, and a star-studded event we attended. Enjoy!

We are SO excited (or rather, aroused) to do this episode about faking orgasms! We brought in sex therapist and bestselling author Vanessa Marin to chat about how many women are faking orgasms, why we do it, how to stop doing it, and how to talk to your partner if you've been faking for a while (or forever!). We also break down how to end the sexual experience when you don't know how, reframing "good sex" even when there isn't a climax, and how to mix up the order you do things in the bedroom so everyone gets off. And we even touch on men having difficulty reaching orgasm. Before Vanessa joins us, we're catching up on Ashley meeting her boyfriend's parents, Rayna's awkward vibrator moment with her family, and we have a very special (official) debut from TESSA! We're also introducing new Vibes Only products – handcuffs anyone? Enjoy!

Should you tell your friends the size of your partner's d*ck? What about their political beliefs? We're discussing all the things you share about your partner with friends and family, from sexual details to fights to politics to cheating. We break down the differences in what you should share/shouldn't share, the impact oversharing can have, the types of friends you can tell certain things to, and more. Before we get into the topic, we're joined by a special guest (Rayna's hot neighbor!) and he tells us some of his turnoffs and clears up a beef with Ashley. Enjoy!

Our good friend Alyssa Amoroso (aka Publyssity) joins us this week to spill the tea on her relationship, the trip that changed her dating trajectory, and so much more. The main theme of the episode is how shifting your energy can lead to big changes in your life, and we discuss her current relationship from how they met (she offers some insightful dating app advice) to the recent "DTR" to how people treat her now that she's coupled up (and the mixed feelings she has on it). We also chat about her move to LA, why she got rid of her therapist (and the positive impact it had), and making the decision to stop letting insecurities hold you back. Before Alyssa joins us, we're sharing some Thanksgiving Eve hookup stories; Ashley has a big life/body update, and we're now taking dating applications for Rayna. Enjoy!
