No matter what stage of life you’re in (but especially if you’re feeling lost/unbalanced/behind at all), this episode will help guide you. We loved recording with Krista and Lindsey of Almost 30 podcast again and talking about all the changes that have happened in our own lives over the years in friendships, career, romantic relationships, breakups, and more. We discuss Saturn Returns and what age this personal transformation happens, how to trust your own timeline in life even when you feel like you’re “behind,” knowing when a relationship isn’t right and when to leave, communicating with a partner effectively, body image and changes, and being at your “peace weight.”  We also talk about Krista’s dating life post-divorce and Lindsey’s motherhood journey. Before they join us, Rayna shares a story about meeting a guy in the wild and the pickup line she used, and Ashley spills some tea on a throuple who came to her recent show. Enjoy!

Warning: This episode may make you feel things. We absolutely loved talking with author/poet Josie Balka ahead of her debut book about everything from body image to exes to friendship. We discuss how no one cares what you look like in a swimsuit, why the people who didn’t want you stick with you more than partners who did, reflective questions to ask yourself after a first date, that one person in your life you wish you never met, and why friendship breakups can be harder than romantic breakups. She also opens up about her fiancé, and we discuss our own past and present relationships. Before Josie joins us, Rayna shares friend behavior that should be straight to jail, and Ashley tells the tale of the woman who walked out of her standup show. Enjoy!

Put this episode on if you want to get fired up (in the best way). We loved having author and influencer Drew Afualo in the studio going all the way off about the patriarchy and taking no shit from men (on the internet and IRL). She shares her journey of working in sports, getting fired (like all the cool girls do), and how she found her voice and created the platform she has today. She discusses how we all start out as Pick Me Girls, dating men when you hate men, the fallacy of the “leftover woman,” how to be more brave and find your voice, the one tip she has for anyone who wants to be an influencer, how men and women reflect differently after they go through a breakup, and so much more.

We are so glad to welcome back Brittany Piper – speaker, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and educator in sexual violence prevention and trauma recovery. In this episode, she is sharing her expertise of somatic healing, which starts with the body and can be life-changing for anyone with trauma, anxiety, and/or chronic stress, especially if traditional talk therapy isn’t working. We discuss the science of the nervous system, learning the language of your body and how to regulate your stress responses, how to de-escalate your anxiety, and what a “trigger” actually is. We also discuss trauma and anxiety in relationships – talking to your partner about your needs, how you can be a helpful partner to someone who is struggling, co-regulating, and using a tool called “parts work” in a conflict. Before Brittany joins us, we’re discussing wild AI text summaries, and unpacking a listener dilemma about a situationship with a colleague.

We have our friend, content creator, and second GGE guest ever Jeremy Jacobowitz back on the show to talk about our favorite topics – food and dating. We kick this fun convo off talking about the most underrated food cities, traveling to Japan, LA vs. NYC food scenes, Jeremy’s beef with a popular bagel spot, and using restaurant reservations as bait on dating apps. Then we discuss dating and specifically first dates – who should pay, is it weird if he offers to pick you up, why no one wants to have dinner on a first date, why men show their crazy more than women, and our listeners’ nightmare first dates. Before Jeremy joins us, we break down the most unhinged dating app prompt we’ve seen and the meanest DM Ashley ever received. Enjoy!

The key to manifesting may not be what you think it is, and we have one of the OGs in the spiritual space, Gabby Bernstein, to talk about it. She just released her tenth book, Self Help, and shares her simple four-step practice that can help you turn inward, heal, and manifest the life you want for yourself. We talk about limiting beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves (“I’m not good enough”, “If I don’t do it, no one else will”, “I’m the only single one”), how the wellness space has changed in the last 20 years, the issue she sees the most in couples, and who she wants to set Rayna up with. Before Gabby joins us, we catch up on recent travels, Ashley starting her tour, and a situation Rayna had with a guy (including our fave text of the year so far). Enjoy!  Follow Gabby on Instagram @gabbybernstein, listen to her podcast Dear Gabby, get her latest book Self Help, and check out her website for more.

Strap in for an unfiltered (and inspirational) journey with the hilarious Jiaoying Summers. She takes us through growing up in China with an overprotective mother, to then coming to the US and finding love with someone whose family didn’t approve of her, breaking up, and then marrying a controlling man who she had children with. She takes us through that divorce and what she had to do to break away and bring her kids to the US with no money and a desire to pursue standup comedy. We discuss her sex life with her current partner (and he makes a cameo), her current relationship with her mom, the huge celebs who are fans of HER, how she got confident later in life, being a role model to her kids, and so much more. And then we answer some “Is this weird?” listener submissions about eating ass and cheating. Before Jiaoying joins us, we discuss the appropriate length of voice notes, Ashley’s recent beef with her fiancé/roommate, and a story about Rayna in Austin we’ve been gatekeeping. Enjoy!
