Girls Gotta Eat Dear Media

Do we actually know what the opposite sex wants when it comes to dating, or have we been wrong all along? On this episode, we’re discussing a recent study that shows how assumptions and misconceptions could be hurting your dating life. We talk about why and how we misread people in early stages of dating and how to stop, the importance of recognizing differences in your partner and their reactions, the male/female disconnect about etiquette, and more. Before we dive into the topic, we catch up on Ashley’s mortifying pharmacy moment and Rayna’s problematic new email address, plus we’re discussing how much day-to-day minutia you share with your partner vs. your friends, and sharing our and our listeners’ unexpected dirty talk turn-ons. Enjoy!

We could not be more excited for our Dear Media debut with fellow Dear baddie Heather McMahan! We’re discussing her red carpet reporting (with some tea), how LA makes you feel fugly (but is temple filler the answer?), and what her next Netflix special is about. Then we bring in Heather’s husband Jeff aka “the Italian Stallion” and we discuss their iconic relationship – secrets to keeping it spicy after 13 years (and which sex toys they have), how they balance each other, why actually being friends is so important, and why they have two country club memberships. And we discuss two major decisions they are continually facing: “Where should we eat tonight?” and “When should we have a kid?” Before Heather and Jeff join us, we are reintroducing ourselves (and Ashley short circuits), having an introspective conversation about change, and revealing which infamous GGE guy just resurfaced in Rayna’s life. Enjoy!

It’s not you…it’s the brain gap. In this eye-opening episode with author/life coach/podcaster Kara Loewentheil, we’re unpacking what the brain gap actually is and how it f*cks you up when it comes to your love life, body image, and more. Kara educates us on the four traps of romantic socialization and why we feel crazy about dating even when we know we shouldn’t, how women police themselves with their looks/body/aging and how to stop, why traditional “positive thinking” doesn’t work and how to realistically bridge the brain gap, and why feminists struggle with engagement culture. Before Kara joins us, we’re recapping our NYC trip, Rayna being extra horny, Ashley’s Instagram awakening, the difference between “Daddys” and “Fathers”, and poop-gate 2024. Enjoy!

We are so excited to sit down with entrepreneur/speaker/overall inspirational human Sahil Bloom to talk about love, life, career, and unhinged male behavior. He shares how he spent so many years having negative self-talk and seeking external validation, and how he overcame his insecurities and found his identity. He also shares why extremes of self-help advice don’t work and his realistic “ABC system” to achieve your goals. And we talk about relationships – his #1 tip for long-lasting partnership, the secret to how he and his wife have made it work so long, why who you choose to partner with is so important, where to find the people who embody what you’re looking for, and how male insecurity is the root of all bad behavior. Before Sahil joins us, it’s a circus of storytelling – a hilarious/embarrassing incident that happened to Rayna right before recording, our new vibrator debut, power ranking of guys who have stayed with Rayna, and Ashley’s anniversary. Enjoy!
