Are Your Boundaries Killing Your Love Life (and Social Life)?

Have we optimized to the point of loneliness? We’re breaking down the question “Are my boundaries killing my love life?” and discuss whether a routine (and unwillingness to stray from it) could be impacting your ability to have fun, have friends, and date. We reminisce on millennial party culture and discuss how times and priorities have changed, offer solutions for an “over boundaried” life, and provide baby steps to getting out there more. We also discuss how a lot of today’s dating advice is hurting more than it’s helping. Before we get into the topic, Rayna gives a relationship status update, Ashley shows off her foster dog, we recap our summers, and unpack the Gen Z stare. Enjoy!

We are SO excited to be joined by hilarious actor, creator, and our new friend Uly Morazan, widely known on the internet for the “current husband” trend. We discuss how this title came about, how he met his current husband (it’s iconic), and why they don’t make couples content anymore. Then we go over Uly’s list of hall passes (which is also just a list of the hottest celebrities/athletes) and break them down one by one. We also discuss dating someone your friend has dated, the ONE lucky guy we have both dated, the pain of a crush choosing your friend over you, and pursuing unavailable people as a defense mechanism. Before Uly joins us, Ashley gives an update on her foster journey and Rayna reveals something that keeps happening to her in bakeries and on the streets. Enjoy!

It’s an episode about home design and we are joined by THE Bobby Berk himself – award-winning designer, formerly of Netflix's Queer Eye and currently starring in HGTV’s Junk or Jackpot. We discuss the unconventional way Bobby figures out someone’s personal design style (and how you can figure out your own) and where to start if you want to design your dream home, or even just a room. We discuss where to splurge and where to save, lighting dos and don’ts, furniture/storage hacks for small spaces, why you shouldn’t follow trends, how much color is too much, and his thoughts on renovating a rental. We also discuss moving in with a partner and how to navigate merging your things and handling design decisions. Before Bobby joins us, we are talking about friendship (including the current state of ours), Rayna’s review on Nantucket, and hotel room behavior with someone you’re dating. Enjoy!

We all have so many questions about skin, hair, aging, hormones, diet, the list goes on – so we brought in Dr. Mamina Turegano, a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist – to answer them. We discuss the lifestyle factors that accelerate the aging process and how to manage them, the best foods for healthier skin and hair, all the tea on topical estrogen, and the truth about chemical vs. mineral sunscreen. We deep dive on hair health – what causes hair loss/shedding, growth products that actually work, the one thing NOT to do if you’re shedding excessively, GLP-1s and hair loss, if oiling is worth it, and how often to wash your hair. And we get into skincare, including the three products everyone should have, what to use at what age and in what order, products to splurge and save on, retinoids, red light, collagen, microneedling, salmon sperm facials, and more. Before Dr. Mamina joins us, Rayna opens up a fridge debate and how she prepped for a male visitor, and Ashley has a dog update. Enjoy!
