The Snack: It Ends With Us + Love is Blind UK

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much for everyone else (or even just one person) at the expense of yourself, this episode will speak to your soul. We’re talking about high-functioning codependency with psychotherapist and author Terri Cole. She explains high-functioning codependency, how it differs from traditional codependency, and how to know if you’re this type of person and/or in this type of relationship with a partner, friend, or family member. We discuss breaking these cycles, what to do instead of “auto advice giving,” co-parenting, the sneaky codependency of female friendships, why codependents attract narcissists, how to handle “boundary destroyers,” and more. Before Terri joins us, we’re talking about our new favorite sex toy, an iconic email Rayna’s sister-in-law sent to the family, and Ashley’s strong feelings about breakfast hours. Enjoy!

We are SO excited to be joined by our favorite influencer couple (and new friends) Alex Madison and Jon Bouffard! We’re talking about everything – how they met and started dating, creating content together, why they’re not friends with many influencers, and how sex can solve your problems. Then they open up about the loss of their unborn child – how they changed their minds from being childfree to even wanting children, being open about the pregnancy and the loss on social media, the grieving process and how they supported each other, and how they are feeling about having children now. And then we dive into some juicy listener questions – a woman wanting her husband to take HER last name, and overstepping in-laws. Before Alex and Jon join us, we’re talking about the wildest thing that happened at our last live show, and the age-old debate of keeping or deleting pictures of an ex on Instagram. Enjoy!

If you’re into the prospect of sleeping or living apart from a partner (or just curious about couples who do this), this episode with writer and professor Kelly Coyne will give you everything you need to know! We talk about couples who live in the same home but have separate bedrooms, how this affects your sex life (and what sex experts think about it), and which gender benefits more from sleeping separately. We then discuss couples who have chosen to live apart long-term, and spouses who lived together then decided to live apart and how it impacted the relationship. Kelley shares stats and the current landscape of “living apart together” and we also discuss why more women are questioning marriage and whether it actually benefits them. Before Kelly joins us, we have updates on Ashley’s engagement ring and Rayna’s flirty contractor next door, and we debate the topic: Should couples be in the bathroom at the same time? Enjoy!

We have your political questions answered with this insightful and inspiring episode with author, political analyst, and one of our favorite Instagram follows, Emily Amick (@emilyinyourphone). We cover so much: The current vibe in politics/the election, figuring out your civic personality and how to make a difference on both a local and national level, why women have been told not to talk about politics, how to talk to friends/family members with opposing views and values, if Taylor Swift’s endorsement actually made an impact, whether “all politics are corrupt” is accurate, where to get factual news, and Kamala’s policies vs. Trump. We also discuss women’s reproductive rights, why this is always such a battle, and how we can continue to fight it and win. Before Emily joins us, we discuss which states have the best and worst sex, Ashley shares an awkward coffee shop encounter, and Rayna (lightly) roasts Tessa. Enjoy!

We LOVED chatting and laughing with podcaster/influencer Becca Moore on this episode! She shares how being slut shamed by a prospective employer led her to her career today, and then we discuss the opportunistic “friends” (and mean girls) you meet when you first move to a city, and we break down sibling drama in large families. Becca shares her story of realizing she liked women, how she pursued her current partner, and why she had anxiety about hooking up with a woman for the first time. And then we talk about Pick Mes – what makes a Pick Me Girl, why guys can be Pick Me too, and how to handle these people in your friend circle. Before Becca joins us, we’re talking about Ashley officiating her first same-sex wedding, Rayna’s girl crush, our "imaginary" friends, and why we're about to come to life in the fall.
