Girls Gotta Eat

We’re discussing all the things people hide from their partners, from getting Botox to spending habits to past sexual experiences, and more. We break down the different categories of “little white lies” and the motivations behind them, through research, our own experiences, and contributions from our audience. And we’re diving into age-old questions like “Do you have to tell your partner how many people you’ve slept with?” and “Do guys always lie when you ask them what they’re thinking about?” Before we get into the topic, we’re talking about health (microplastics, air quality, and more!), and the most searched fetish in every state.

If you couldn’t tell by the title, we have a very wholesome episode for you with love coach Shaun Galanos! We’re answering all those burning sex questions you may not feel comfortable asking in the group chat – what do you do with an uncircumcised penis, how do you get into anal, what should you call guys in bed, and how do you get your partner to initiate sex more? We’re also talking about Shaun’s background and his intriguing past as a sensual masseur, plus we’re breaking down a recent sexual encounter Rayna had (and its logistics), and discussing why bald guys give better oral. Before Shaun joins us, we’re debating some hot topics (what foods go in the fridge vs. on the counter, zip fly vs. button fly), and we break down the facts/risks when it comes to lip flips/filler and oral sex. Enjoy!  Follow Shaun on instagram @thelovedrive, read his substack, and listen to his podcast We Can Do Better.  Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

We are honored to be joined by Mel Robbins, author of the bestselling, life-changing book The Let Them Theory. We talk to her about the theory and how you can apply it to relationships, daily stress, career goals, and family conflicts to live a more free and authentic life. We discuss dating in depth – confusing behavior from someone early on, what’s a true dealbreaker and when to break up, how to know if you’re an energy match, what you can and can’t change about someone, how to have the DTR talk and stay in your power, and more. Mel coaches us on not letting small stressors (like inconsiderate people in the airport) take our energy, and we also talk about managing our mental health and using our voices in the current political climate. Before she joins us, we’re celebrating our 7-year anniversary of the podcast, Ashley gives an update on her roommate, and Rayna reveals why we lose socks in the dryer. Enjoy!

We are so excited to welcome back Sahil Bloom in anticipation of his new book, The 5 Types of Wealth. You will love this conversation about the different types of wealth, why money isn’t the only thing that makes you rich, why people are obsessed with money, what “social wealth” is and how to cultivate it, and why the most unhealthy relationships in your life aren’t the “toxic” ones. We’re also covering a slew of life-changing concepts: Arrival fallacy, energy calendar, life dinner, list price vs. real price of success, relationship map, and more. Before Sahil joins us, we’re talking about the week we lived together and what we learned about each other, two types of people when it comes to the bedroom door, and how we’re managing our mental health.

We know you love friendship episodes, so it’s time for another one! We’re discussing friendship love bombing (what it looks like, why people do it, and the ways our listeners have experienced it) and friendship one-night-stands (what they are, how to navigate them, and if you can make a one-night-stand into a real friendship). We’re also talking about the number of friends the average person has/can handle, and how we categorize our friendships. Before we get into the topic, we’re chatting about why you’re not supposed to sit on the toilet too long, Ashley’s email inbox behavior vs. Rayna’s, and the popular sport we hate. Enjoy!

If you want to transform any area of your life but don’t know where to start, this is the episode for you! We are joined by Mimi Bouchard, founder of the Activations app, to discuss the most effortless way you can start to manifest money, love, and more. 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. Before Mimi joins us, we’re sharing our individual goals for 2025, our one (very specific) shared goal, our listeners’ (always amazing) goals, and how we’re leaning into unhinged joy.

We’re also sharing our listeners’ best accomplishments of the year, plus their hilarious dating stories, including a makeshift bondage situation and dirty talk that made a girl cry.

If you’re ready for a master class in how to let someone go, presenting: Anna Kai. We loved having her on to discuss why we get hooked on people who aren’t good for us, when you should know someone isn’t going to commit, and how to cut off these relationships/situationships and move on. We also discuss her experience going on 100 first dates before meeting her husband, why she doesn’t believe in love at first sight (but what she DOES believe in that’s more important), the myth of closure, and more. Before Anna joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s move and Ashley’s new travel goal, and breaking down two recent Internet trends – “We listen and we don’t judge” and “women in male fields” (oh we have thoughts). Enjoy!

The boys are back and it’s a hot one! Trevor Wallace and Michael Blaustein of Stiff Socks podcast join us to discuss an array of spicy subjects – how often guys are actually jerking off (and why they should never do it before a date), the best time of day to have sex, the perfect length of time for penetration, why lingerie can sometimes be a turnoff, the pros and cons of counter sex, and (on a more wholesome note) what their friendship is actually like. We also have them dissect some wild “Is this weird?” submissions from our listeners.
