What is Healthy Dependency in a Relationship and How Do We Find It? with Nedra Tawwab

Back for another life changing discussion, we have therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab to talk about healthy dependency in relationships – what it is, what's the difference from unhealthy dependency/codependency, and how to achieve it. We discuss how to not lose yourself in a relationship, dating someone who's enmeshed with their family, why our attachment styles aren't fixed and how we show up differently with different people, and the problem with hyper independence. We also discuss friendship enmeshment and when one friend needs space, accommodating friends' boundaries without losing them (and when you might need to cut someone off), navigating your best friend getting into a relationship, and how to understand different peoples' communication styles. We even touch on parenting and codependency with children. Before Nedra joins us, we analyze some wrong number texts Rayna has been receiving, and answer the question 'Can a morning person be with a non-morning person?' Enjoy! Follow Nedra on Instagram at @nedratawwab and preorder her new book The Balancing Act (out February 10). Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

How to Be Present and Feel More Alive feat. Mimi Bouchard

We're kicking off this episode with thoughts on dry January, some life updates from Ashley, Rayna's feelings about starting her tour, and then we're laughing about the hilarious "describe your ex as a store" trend and sharing our own.

She shares her story of transforming her life and what led her to start the app (hint: no meditation required), and we discuss things that numb you vs. things that make you feel alive, how to act like your future self even in the smallest moments, reducing your screen time, and our personal favorite, manifesting during sex.

"Everyone Wants a Village, But No One Wants to Be a Villager"

You've probably heard the phrase "Everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager" recently, and we are discussing! We dive into the dynamics of friendship, why people aren't showing up for their friends as much, when boundaries and "protecting your peace" hinder community building, managing conflict with friends, engaging with friends on social media, and tips for being a better villager. We also discuss the sentiment of "you don't have to go to weddings anymore" AND we also put together a matrix to determine the events you do and don't have to attend. Before we get into the topic, Rayna got a jump scare at the nail salon and Ashley had a traumatizing experience in a public restroom. Enjoy!

Sound Quality

roygb1v

Love them but every time they aren’t physically together the sound is horrible. So many people have long distance podcasts and you could never tell (U Up?). Makes me concerned since Rayna says she’s moving back to NYC. They already complain regularly about having to work so I anticipate the end of the podcast.
Great podcast!

I knew about this pod for a while but became a regular listener just this year - these two are truly, truly good hearted people. So many podcast out there just looking to exploit, these two are out here spreading truth and realness….so happy to be a fan!
Funny insights, sometimes problematic

PostRedhead

I generally like this podcast because it’s funny and insightful. I think they interview great experts who share insights about really important issues facing women and other folks. That said, they tend to be very heteronormative and at times borderline homophobic and sexist in their commentary. This week’s episode, for example, Rayna sat for a pedicure next to a man who got his toenails painted, and Ashley said that he wasn’t a real man because he painted his toenails. These are the kind of outdated, gender stereotypes that contribute to patriarchy. I hope they reflect on this and do better. I generally think they’re very thoughtful and try to bring light and an equity focus to the podcast, but I think they should interrogate some of their beliefs about gender.
