Mom Shaming, Crying Videos, and Not Giving a F*ck with Jackie Schimmel
We are joined by the one-and-only Jackie Schimmel of the Bitch Bible podcast for a candid, hilarious discussion not for the easily offended! We are talking about motherhood (why she doesn’t identify with being a “mama” and parenting on her own terms), how to not give a f*ck what strangers on the Internet think or say about you, her radical wellness journey and why we all need to be red lighting, and being with a genuinely kind partner when you always want to talk shit. We also discuss crying videos on social media and pop off about what’s pissing us off right now, from an insane micro-trend to the worst type of people in public. Before Jackie joins us, we answer an email from a listener wondering how long it takes attraction to grow, and we discuss how to improve your vocabulary. Enjoy!

“I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me)”
We are discussing the viral article “I Love My Husband (Who Hates Me)” – what these relationships look like, why witnessing them on TV/social media is so triggering to people, and why women stay in these relationships and defend their partners’ behavior. We talk about triangulation (the “us against the world” mindset), signs you’re in a relationship like this, how to approach it with your partner, and when it’s time to break up. Then we dissect two listener emails – one from a woman whose partner never compliments her and another from a woman whose partner has been making her feel small in public. Before we get into the topic, we address the breakup rumors about us (!!!), when commenting on IG takes a turn, and the real reason people like spicy food. Enjoy!

You Could Be Having Better Sex feat. Dr. Nicole McNichols
Consider this episode Better Sex 101. We are joined by Dr. Nicole McNichols, hailed America’s #1 sex professor, for an in-depth discussion about how to level up your pleasure, starting with yourself and understanding the hierarchy of sexual needs. We talk about libido fluctuating over time and the factors that affect it, what sexual mindfulness is and how to practice it, how to work through body image issues, and the small but simple life hacks for better sex. Then we discuss sex in long-term relationships – why planning intimacy is hot and leads to higher sexual satisfaction, how to keep falling in love with your partner, the different types of intimacy, why "distance makes the heart grow fonder” is a myth, and if couples can get freakier later in life. We then dive into the dynamics of casual sex (why it’s not for everyone and how to know if it’s for you) and Gen Z (why they’re having less sex but may be more intentional about it, porn problems, and more). Before Nicole joins us, we catch up on Rayna’s bodysuit malfunction, Ashley’s elite concert experience, and we have another gift opening on air. Enjoy!
