Girls Gotta Eat

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!  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

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!

We’re so happy to welcome back marriage and family therapist Vienna Pharaon to talk about healing work and the five original wounds. She shares her own personal story of her parents’ (nine year long) divorce and how she didn’t think it affected her until later in life when she was ready to process and work through it. Then she walks us through how to pinpoint and understand your original wounds and how they are affecting you today, and gives steps for how to heal and stop holding yourself back from healthy relationships. We also discuss how red flags can be a positive thing, the unhealthy side of choosing partners who put you on a pedestal, and why breakups don’t equal failure.

With all the dating advice/rules/list/etc taking over our online landscape, we couldn’t help but wonder…have we gone too far? We’re so excited to cover the concept of overcorrecting when it comes to dating, inspired by the viral list “Places Women Refuse to Go On a First Date” (we have a lot to say!) and from all the content we see and consume every day. We discuss how some of the information out there could actually be harming your dating life and possibility of finding love, but how you can filter it and make it work for you. Before we get into the topic, we talk about guys on bikes (ick or not?), Rayna's comical texting with her mom about Thanksgiving, something that killed the mood for Ashley like never before, the show Naked Attraction, AND our new Vibes Only products (including a vibrator that will give you the best orgasm of your life).

If you’ve ever experienced the nightmare of sending a nude to the wrong person (or just have the fear inside of you), you’re not alone. We’re chatting all about nudes gone wrong – sending to the wrong person (family included), uploading to social media, accidental airdrops, and more. We’re also giving tips on how to avoid these incidents, and on the other (aka toxic) side, purposely using the “oops wrong person” as a power play in a situationship. Before we go full send on nudes, we’re talking about our multiple Halloween costumes and unpacking a shocking birthday cake incident. Enjoy!

We have the hilarious and beloved Andrew Collin back in studio for another banger. We’re talking about glowing up later in life, self-confidence, moving across the country and going through transitional (and often tough) times with your partner, and the fights you get in when you live with someone (especially about food). We’re also talking about the journey from being a binge drinker to a  moderate drinker and sharing crazy drunk stories from our past. Before he joins us, we catch up on Rayna meeting a guy on a plane, an accidental/embarrassing message Ashley sent to her bf, and comparing current relationships to past ones. Enjoy!

We’re myth busting on this episode with all the lies/bad advice we’re told about sex – from blowjobs to blue balls to body counts to penetration being painful. We’re also discussing positions (including a new favorite) and why you can still have great sex without an orgasm. Before we dive into the topic, we’re unpacking a male behavior we hate (and also indicates he’s not interested/intentional), sharing new icks, and advising what never to do when packing for a long trip.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Who am I?” and/or “How did I get here?”,  this episode is for you. We are honored to welcome existential psychotherapist and author Dr. Sara Kuburic to discuss the concept of self loss, self discovery, healing, and finding happiness. Sara explains self loss and shares her personal story of questioning her whole life and making changes to find happiness. We discuss the question of “What are we working toward?” especially at the expense of our own happiness, and talk about establishing a healthy connection to our bodies, mental decluttering, and creating space for our true selves to thrive. Before Sara joins us, we’re celebrating our friendiversary, recapping our Texas trip (and the wildest stripper/bonding moment of all time), and doing a pop culture roundup (Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Love is Blind, and more).

We have the long-awaited Dr. Jolene Brighten in the studio to break down what’s normal (and not normal) when it comes to birth control and our bodies. We’re covering menstrual cycles, how birth control affects our sex drive and lubrication, the fertility awareness method, Plan B, and even “whisky vagina.” Jolene also explains how to get off the pill and how to optimize your health both on and off the pill.

Fire up your phone, it’s an app episode! We’re talking about getting on the apps (the energy to put out and headspace to be in when you’re looking for someone, getting back out there after a breakup and the type of people to look for) and getting OFF the apps (when to pause or delete your account, talking to someone you’re dating about their app status, and more). We’re also discussing whether you’d match with your current partner on an app, and Rayna’s elite Hinge prompt answer. Before we get into the topic, we’re sharing the full update on Rusty (IYKYK), and recapping our Europe trip with a shocking thing Ashley found out about Rayna, plus revealing our new Vibes Only products.

We absolutely loved chatting and laughing with Ciara Miller and Mya Allen of Bravo’s Summer House! We discuss serial cheaters (being cheated on with multiple people, crazy levels of lying and deception, being blindsided, shame around telling your family and friends, being able to trust again), as well as interracial dating and when partners don’t understand your life experience. On the lighter side, we talk about reality TV, not liking your bestie when you first met them, fingering, butt stuff, vibrators in the bedroom, and more. We also play a ridiculous, sex-themed round of Would You Rather? Before our guests join us, we’re popping off about Beyoncé, boxers, and bat mitzvahs. Enjoy!

We define what the ick is (and what it isn’t), break down icks vs. turnoffs, share our own icks and Jared’s favorites from around the world, discuss ick appropriation and if icks have gone too far, and Jared explains down why guys don’t get the ick. We also talk about Extension-gate, the main difference between “bad dates” in NYC vs. LA, and airline loyalty, and then we have one of the most awkward moments in Girls Gotta Eat history. Before Jared joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s Italy trip and our latest thoughts on solo travel, debate which pizza chain is best, and Ashley shares the psychotic thing she did to her brother’s Barbie when they were kids.

We’re so happy to welcome back bestselling author Mark Manson to give more life advice that doesn’t suck. We’re discussing the truth about happiness – that there is no “formula” for it, why “getting rid” of your problems isn’t the answer, and recognizing delusional positivity. In terms of relationships, we talk about how you and your partner’s strengths and weaknesses counterbalance each other, how conflict strengthens a healthy relationship, and what you can be doing right now to improve your dating life. Mark also turns the tables on us and asks how the podcast has changed our dating life, and he shares his own wild cheating story, which leads us to our final discussion about post traumatic growth (how a lot of people end up thriving after a traumatic incident). Before Mark joins us, we talk about more changes in Rayna’s life (hint: porn and pedicures), Ashley’s DMV journey, and how we got in trouble in high school. We also spill some tea on someone Rayna ran into and who texted Ashley. Enjoy!

We have a lot to unpack! Ashley turned 40 and is in a relationship, and Rayna reads fiction now and can’t stop being naked. We recap the best trip of our lives from the laughs to the luxury to the perineum sunning, and also discuss aging and being confident in your looks/body. Then we drag And Just Like That (again), hype Colleen Hoover (again), and deep dive on a listener question – should you date the person you have a better sexual or emotional connection with? Enjoy!

We are so honored to welcome back renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel to discuss a variety of topics for both people in relationships and those looking for love. She speaks on the challenge of meeting people today and gives advice for how single people can reframe dating (especially first dates). Moving onto relationships, we discuss how in every relationship someone needs more security and someone needs more freedom, how reactions in relationships are like a figure 8 and how to manage conflicts better, the theory of fundamental attribution error and thinking we are more complex than our partners, when we are most attracted to our partners and why, and the four things you can do in a relationship to keep the desire thriving. Before Esther joins us, we talk about guys having bad fashion on vacations, Rayna’s surgery, Ashley’s pregnancy prevention, and the stark difference in how we do laundry.

*Trigger warning for sexual assault* We are joined by comedian Hanna Dickinson for an open, honest conversation about STIs, sexual assault, addiction to prescription drugs, and more. She shares her story of contracting herpes, how she discloses it when dating, and why it’s actually a positive when it comes to finding a partner. Hanna also shares her story of being sexually assaulted by a rideshare driver and how she has been coping with the trauma. We also discuss body positivity and the pressure/desire to lose weight, Adderall addiction, and (on a lighter note) Hanna’s exclusive interview with Ariana Madix. Before Hanna joins us, we’re chatting about being a great host vs. a person who doesn’t like to host, Ashley’s journey getting off the pill, and Rayna’s high-pressure driving test.  Follow Hanna on Instagram at @hansdickie and visit her website for show dates and more.

We’re talking about the struggle of feeling used and/or taken advantage of by friends, partners, co-workers, and family. We discuss how to recognize it and put an end to it, drawing boundaries, redirecting someone, self-talk, and more. Before we get into the topic, we’re sharing the craziness that went down after a recent show, a (just discovered) major difference in how we sleep, and a wild tale of BV.

Let’s talk about money, honey! We have Ramit Sethi, best-selling author and star of the hit Netflix show How to Get Rich, back for another game-changing interview. He’s breaking down renting vs. buying a home (and debunking myths and misconceptions), the four numbers you need to know when it comes to your spending, how to know if you can afford something, and most importantly – figuring out what your rich life is and how to achieve it. Plus, we’re discussing why couples don’t talk to each other about money, and how to talk to your partner about it in various scenarios (you have debt, they have debt, you make more, splitting expenses, etc.). Before Ramit joins us, we’re talking about the theory of which body part you wash first says something about you, and thoughts about going off birth control. Enjoy! Follow Ramit on Instagram @ramit, check out his Netflix show How to Get Rich, and his book I Will Teach You to Be Rich. Visit his website for more.

It’s our highly anticipated pelvic pain episode and we are so happy to be joined by Dr. Sonia Bahlani to discuss the topic. We talk about causes and conditions of pelvic pain, what’s physical vs. mental, and when to seek medical attention. And we deep dive into the sexual aspect of it (why penetrative sex hurts, difficulty orgasming, best positions, lube, exercises, etc.) and answer burning questions like “Are tight pussies really a thing?” and “Are kegels necessary?” Before Sonia joins us, we’re talking about shower habits/debates (again), sharing a ridiculous moment from a recent road trip, and answering the question “How many rebound hookups is too many?” Enjoy!
