Help, I Hate My Friend's Partner! Apr 22, 2021

Show notes

Alright ladies, let's TALK SOME SHIT! (Kidding...sorta.) We're discussing a topic close to home for so many -- disliking your friend's partner (namely, your girlfriend's boyfriend/husband). Although every situation is different, we're doing our best to cover all the bases -- reasons why you hate the partner, if you should say something, what to say, how to say it, advice to give your friend, setting boundaries for yourself, friend breakups, and more. We're drawing on our own experiences, and sharing stories from listeners as well. And we're catching up on Rayna's new guy and a rooftop encounter Ashley had. Hope you enjoy!

Planning, Canceling, and Hooking Up at Weddings feat. Comedian/Wedding Coach Jamie Lee Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Yes, it's a wedding episode, but with a lot of twists and turns! We are joined by Jamie Lee, comedian, actor, author of the book Weddiculous: An Unfiltered Guide to Being a Bride, and host of The Wedding Coach on Netflix, to talk about the ups and downs of getting married. We discuss how to set yourself up for success and also manage conflict with your partner during the planning process so it doesn't tear you apart. And we're getting real about pulling the plug on a wedding even when you feel like "the train has left the station." Most importantly, we discuss bachelorette parties, and hooking up at weddings (ahem, what brides and grooms can do to help their single friends out). AND we're recapping Ashley's brother's wedding and the action Rayna got while staying in the house with the family. Hope you enjoy!

Dating as a WOC and Fetishization feat. Amy Chan Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

On this episode, we are sharing stories from our listeners about dating as a woman of color, from messages they receive on apps to partners not understanding their experiences to fetishization. We're also bringing on a former (and favorite) guest Amy Chan, founder of Breakup Bootcamp, to discuss her experience growing up as an Asian woman, feeling shame as a child to leaning into the sexy stereotypes as a young woman, and her mindset today. We also discuss how to talk to your partner about these topics. And before we dive in, we're up to our usual antics with a divorced dude date story from Rayna, Ashley being single-shamed, and a tip for taking your phone sex to the next level. Enjoy!

Divorced Dudes and Single Moms feat. Katya Libin, founder of HeyMama Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

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!

Cringey Social Media, Selfie Tips, and The Royals feat. Chicks in the Office Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

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!

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!

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.
