How to Talk to Your Partner and Improve Your Sex Life feat. Vanessa Marin (Rerelease)

Whether you missed this one the first time or just need a refresh, it’s a must-listen for improving communication in your sex life! We have sex therapist and author Vanessa Marin walking us through how to bring up a sexual slump or frustrations in your relationship with the exact language to use and types of conversations to have, how to tell your partner to stop doing something you don't like and start doing what you do like, techniques for spanking and choking and how to get your partner to do these things the way you want it (and vice versa), the best way to 69, and more. Before Vanessa joins us, we have a short and fresh intro about Rayna’s recent travel nightmare. Enjoy! Follow Vanessa on Instagram @VanessaAndXander and check out her podcast Pillow Talks.

We are joined by Kelly Rizzo, wife of the late, great Bob Saget, to talk about losing your partner, grief, healing, and finding love again. She shares the story of how Bob slid into the DMs, why she was skeptical of dating him at first, and their love story up until his unexpected death. She opens up about the grief, coping with being a young widow, who and what helped her heal, guilt surrounding dating again, and how the love in her current relationship co-exists with the love she still has for Bob. We also discuss how you can support someone who is grieving, and she shares passages she wrote in her grief journal regarding what TO say and what NOT to say to someone dealing with such a monumental loss. Before Kelly joins us, we are discussing our love/hate relationship with flip-flops and breaking down Instagram fonts (Are story captions getting too small? What does your signature font say about you?). Enjoy! Follow Kelly on Instagram @kellyrizzo and check out her podcast Comfort Food.

Having crushes in a relationship – harmless or unhealthy? We are breaking it all down with data from our listeners and discussing how normal it is, what counts as “harmless,” the differences between men and women having crushes, the “work wife” trope, when fantasizing becomes a problem, and more. We break down an article titled “The Secret to a Great Marriage? Crushes on Other People” and a listener email with the subject line “Happily married, but still fantasize about others.. is that fucked up?” We also share our own experiences (including Ashley’s current crush). Before we get into the topic, we are discussing the hot topic of couples fighting over food delivery costs, and Rayna has a tour announcement! Enjoy!

Time to get rich, bitch! We brought in Haley Sacks (aka Mrs. Dow Jones), financial expert and author of new book “Future Rich Person,” to share non-intimidating advice and achievable goals for building wealth. She lays out the four things you need to do to get started even if you don’t have much (or any) money, how to curb your spending but still enjoy your life, and the fastest method for paying off debt. We also discuss the unrealistic advice women are given about money (and why to ignore it), how the American system is rigged against the average person (and how to combat it), the average debt Gen Z has, how to get a raise, and how to “brainwash” yourself with good financial content instead of the stuff companies are using to manipulate your wallet. Before Haley joins us, Ashley recaps another ridiculous restaurant experience, and Rayna reflects on her days working for an elite hospitality group. Enjoy!

If you’re single (and don’t want to be), this episode is for you. We are joined once again by relationship coach and bestselling author Amy Chan ahead of her new book, Un-Single: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts. Amy believes that most people are only one or two shifts away from being in a healthy relationship, and her expertise will help you figure out what your shifts are. She walks us through the five parts of the dating funnel, tips for meeting more dateable people, and how to conduct her brilliant dating experiment to meet your match (trust us, it works). We also talk about the primary way people sabotage their own dating lives, why we obsess over people who aren’t reciprocating (aka the “bread crumb diet”), how to be more magnetic, and an easy pre-date ritual so you don’t show up with negative energy. Before Amy joins us, we’re talking about Type A and Type B travel personalities when it comes to packing, unpacking, hotel room cleanliness, and more. Enjoy!

There isn’t always a “right” way to break up…but there is a wrong way. We polled our audience and are discussing the art of the exit in terms of method (when is a text sufficient?), best and worst places to break up (their place or yours?), optimal day of the week for ending things, and what absolutely not to do if you actually care about someone’s feelings. We share our own worst breakup stories, tell you the one place to never go when you’re on the rocks with a partner, and rank various locations for breakups from cars to restaurants to park benches. Before we get into the topic, we have updates on Rayna being sick and Ashley’s NYC home buying journey, and we break down the book of the moment – Strangers by Belle Burden. Enjoy!
