Girls Gotta Eat

We are so honored to be joined by the one-and-only Rachel Lindsay -- author, podcaster, media personality, attorney, and former Bachelorette. 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. Before Rachel joins us, we're discussing Rayna's breast reduction, Ashley's bush dilemma, and Azul's new name. Enjoy! Follow Rachel on Instagram @TheRachLindsay, and check out her book Miss Me with That. Follow us @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley @AshHess, and Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg.

You may be an expert on softboys, have no idea what one is, or think you know but you don't (spoiler alert: it's not just a sensitive guy); but whatever your softboy knowledge status is, we're here to break down these dudes who are infiltrating modern dating. We're defining and discussing, plus sharing our listeners' experiences with them. Before we break it down, we're chatting about the guys we met in Texas, and at the end of the episode, we're answering two hilarious listener emails about a confusing post-hookup leave-behind and masturbating to your co-workers.

In our first solo episode of the year, we're diving deeper into a topic combo that's always relevant: Communication and conflict. We're covering romantic relationships, friendships, and even work situations while discussing the importance of speaking up when something bothers you, how to express yourself in a productive way, why your initial reaction isn't always how you really feel, and how to re-address something when you already reacted one way. Before we get into it, Rayna pops off about everything that's been happening in pop culture (ahem, Tristan Thompson), and Ashley shares an overdue date story. And we're ending the episode with a classic segment, Fuck My Phone. Enjoy! Follow us on Instagram @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Ashley @AshHess, and Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg.

Ever wonder what you're doing "wrong" (read: against your own best interest) in dating? We are breaking it down in this eye-opening episode with behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author Logan Ury.

Are divorced guys the answer? We're unpacking it and Rayna is leaning in. Then we bring in Katya Libin, founder and CEO of HeyMama, to share her story of being a single, working mother -- the struggles and successes, building her own company, the importance of a support system, co-parenting, dating when you have a child, and more. We're also discussing walking away from a relationship you know isn't right (even when it's a month before your wedding), and how to vet someone before considering having children with them. And on the topic of mothers, Ashley shares a legendary story about her mom that we all can relate to. We hope you enjoy! Follow Katya on Instagram @KatyasLife and check out HeyMama.

We're so excited to collab with the Friday Energy pop culture queens, Ria and Fran of Chicks in the Office! We chatted with them about all the gossip of the moment (Royals, Bachelor, Kardashians, Harry and Olivia), but also tapped into their own personal lives/boyfriends, and social media expertise. We're discussing whether cringey social media is a dealbreaker, following/liking hot models on Instagram when you're in a relationship, how to take better photos for your own feed, and more. And before we bring in the Chicks, we're going off about NYC's energy, the vaccine, and Botox/fillers. Hope you enjoy!

In their first podcast interview since getting engaged, we have Hannah Berner of Bravo's Summer House and comedian Des Bishop join us to discuss their whirlwind romance. We're talking about age differences (15 years between them), Facetime sex (they give tips), the Gen X DM slide, going from 0-60 between the first and second date, moving in together quickly, healthy fights (we witness one), and more. We also share our listeners' stories of pandemic proposals, engagements, and breakups (yikes). And we're dropping a crazy Catfish update from Rayna's story last week, Ashley shares an insane customer service experience, and we taste test flavored condoms. Enjoy!

We're joined by an icon in the world of internet connections -- Nev Schulman of Catfish (the movie, MTV show, and podcast). We're chatting with Nev about the type of people who catfish and get catfished, how to find out if someone isn't who they say they are, confronting someone who has deceived you, and how to forgive yourself and move on after being catfished. We're also sharing our listeners' stories, Nev shares the craziest situation he's experienced, AND Rayna tells the wild story of her (very recent) Catfishing. Hope you enjoy!

If there's one person who can speak on anxiety, depression, and panic with such humor, insight, and personal experience, it's Kelsey Darragh. We're so glad she joined us to discuss her mental health journey from therapy to misdiagnoses to meds to social situations to panic attacks. She shares what has worked for her, how to manage anxiety in a relationship (when you're the person with it or the partner trying to help), why and how she quit drinking, and more. And before Kelsey joins us, we're unpacking why guys turn down booty calls and/or friends with benefits situations. Enjoy!
