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.

In true GGE tradition, we’re recapping the year – the life changes we made, lessons we learned, plans that got canceled, and 2024 goals we did and didn’t achieve. 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. Before the guys join us, we’re talking about dressing for the male gaze vs. dressing for your partner, Rayna meeting her nephew for the first time, and Ashley’s Christmas-came-early theory. Enjoy!
