Girls Gotta Eat

We're talking about a life change that can be exciting/scary/transformational/anxiety-inducing/all of the above: Moving to a new city! We're sharing our experiences, then discussing all the aspects of starting over in a new place -- choosing where to live, making friends, dating, finding your community, dealing with the low moments, and even tips for hiring actual movers. Before our topic, we're talking about misjudging someone by their looks, Rayna getting back on the apps, Ashley's recent app un-match, Selling Sunset, and the ups and downs of living/dating in the 90s.

We have hilarious comedian and friend Ali Kolbert in the studio with us (and Azul) discussing coming out, her standup journey, her relationship, having kids, why she thought Ashley was bi, and more. She opens up about growing up while figuring out her sexuality, and shares the captivating story of her and her girlfriend (who never dated women before Ali), which truly had us on the edge of our seats. Then we're diving into the conversation of having children when one partner is sure and one isn't. Before Ali joins us, we're chatting about male height surgery (yes, it's a thing) and breaking down a cum cleanup debate. Enjoy!

We are joined by the brilliant Dr. Andrew Huberman and he's educating us on attachment theory and the science of love and desire. We're discussing how we develop our attachment style from childhood and how it affects our adult life and relationships, if/how it can change, our brains in different states (for example, when we're anxious and in love), power dynamics in a relationship, how to manage your anxiety in dating (and in everyday life), keeping the attraction and excitement alive in a relationship, and more. Before Andrew joins us, we're discussing home buying, a first in our friendship, and ultimatums. Enjoy! Follow Andrew on Instagram @hubermanlab and check out the Huberman Lab Podcast.

Alternate title for this episode was "They Always Come Back" and we're talking about what to do when they do. We're laying out all the reasons why your ex will try to slip back into your life and how to assess their motivation and your feelings about it, then react (or not) accordingly. We're sharing a lot of own experiences, as well as our listeners' stories of the craziest ways exes have resurfaced. Before we get into the topic, we're circling back on short kings, discussing dick size, popping off about hotel mini bars, and recapping a hard launch situation that threw us for a loop. Enjoy!

Back by popular demand, we are welcoming men's coach Connor Beaton to bring us inside the male mind once again. We're discussing why men feel jaded by dating these days and the most common issues they're facing in relationships, then deep diving on conflict -- underlying reasons why your partner might be upset, how to understand him (and the situation) better in a fight, and more. And while we have Connor, we're asking him some burning questions including "Why do guys get heartbroken once when they're young then turn into fuckboys forever?" and "What do I do when my partner is insecure about my sexual past?" Before our guest joins us, we're celebrating Short King Spring. Enjoy! Follow Connor on Instagram @ManTalks and check out his podcast Man Talks.

It's another game changing conversation; we're taking an essential look at texting with Dr. Mimi Winsberg and discussing how this important form of communication relates to our compatibility and chemistry with someone and can even predict the fate of a relationship. Mimi walks us through the five texting languages, how texts can help you determine someone's personality type early on, toxic text traits, landmines to avoid when texting, emojis, response time, spotting liars, and more. Before Mimi joins us, we're spilling some tea on our families, recommending the shows we've been loving, and confessing what we literally don't care about lately. Enjoy!

We're breaking down weaponized incompetence, and how it hurts (mainly) women and ruins relationships. If you don't know what it is, you've probably experienced it in some way; and don't worry, we're defining it and discussing ways to spot it and stop it. We're sharing our stories and examples from our listeners, and recommending a life changing book for overwhelmed mothers (Fair Play by Eve Rodsky). Before diving into the topic, we're recapping the insane Bachelor finale, opening up about our buttholes, and reading a WILD Bumble exchange via Jenny Jones. Enjoy!

We're so happy to welcome podcaster/dancer/winemaker/Bachelor Nation legend Kaitlyn Bristowe, and she's getting just as refreshingly candid as we expected about her relationship, previous breakup, mental health, and more. We're chatting about dating someone more private (when you're not), how she and Jason got out of the friend zone, hormonal depression, nudes, period sex, and more. AND we were inspired to bring back Is This Weird? (you'll see why). Before Kaitlyn joins us, we are deep diving on the relationship "soft launch" -- what it means, how to do it, and our experiences.

It's a breakup episode for the books with one of our besties (more Rayna's friend) Emily Fedner! We chat briefly about Emily's awesome and inspirational food career before we get into her recent breakup and the ~journey~ from stunned and heartbroken to surviving and thriving. She opens up about being blindsided by her partner of 6+ years, the feelings she'd been having about the relationship before it happened, and how she overcame the debilitating heartbreak (spoiler alert: she's back on the dating scene and killing it). We think this story will resonate with so many, and we're so happy she shared her truth with the GGE family. Before Emily joins us, we're recapping our California sexcapades. Enjoy!
