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).

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!

If you’ve thought about quitting dating, swearing off men altogether, or joining the 4B movement (don’t worry, we define it if you’re not familiar), this episode is for you. We are joined by entrepreneur/marketing expert and recent viral sensation for the no-men movement, Ashli Pollard, to discuss why she decided to stop dating two years ago and how her life has changed since. We talk about living life outside of the male gaze, talking to your friends and family about this choice, sex and pleasure, what people get wrong about the movement, how she sees her future (including motherhood), and how both men and women can help support women better. Before Ashli joins us, we’re sharing the juiciest plane passenger situation we’ve encountered, and how we ended up on contractor-Tok. Enjoy!

Chances are, you either have a “one that got away,” ARE the one that got away, or have dated someone who is still hung up on the one that got away. We’re talking about it all – why we have this person, why men tend to have them more than women, how to get over them, and why it’s good if you DON’T have one. We’re also sharing our personal experiences with it, and the reasons our listeners say they aren’t over that ex. Before we get into the topic, we’re discussing the question “Should you tell your partner about your past flings?” Plus, we’re giving thanks, revealing who’s the better Thanksgiving cook, and sharing advice for handling family with opposing politics/values over the holidays.

It’s never too late to find success, happiness, confidence, or style, and we have Caroline Baudino on this week’s episode to prove it. The influencer and podcaster shares how she lost herself and the rock bottom/aha moment which led her to finding her purpose and building a thriving business. She shares why she loves being in her 50s, her main piece of advice for moms who want to rediscover themselves but don’t know where to start, why getting up and getting dressed every day can change your life, tips for finding your personal style, and why there is no such thing as too much jewelry. Before Caroline joins us, we discuss the notion that couples who veg out together are closer than couples who are more active, plus we’re letting you know about the newest way to elevate your masturbation sessions.
