Girls Gotta Eat

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!

Consider this episode Better Sex 101. We are joined by Dr. Nicole McNichols, hailed America’s #1 sex professor, for an in-depth discussion about how to level up your pleasure, starting with yourself and understanding the hierarchy of sexual needs. We talk about libido fluctuating over time and the factors that affect it, what sexual mindfulness is and how to practice it, how to work through body image issues, and the small but simple life hacks for better sex. Then we discuss sex in long-term relationships – why planning intimacy is hot and leads to higher sexual satisfaction, how to keep falling in love with your partner, the different types of intimacy, why "distance makes the heart grow fonder” is a myth, and if couples can get freakier later in life. We then dive into the dynamics of casual sex (why it’s not for everyone and how to know if it’s for you) and Gen Z (why they’re having less sex but may be more intentional about it, porn problems, and more). Before Nicole joins us, we catch up on Rayna’s bodysuit malfunction, Ashley’s elite concert experience, and we have another gift opening on air. Enjoy!

Ashley’s current husband is stepping in to guest host this week and we’re recapping the honeymoon in Singapore, from the highlights, (the few) lowlights, and even a run-in with the law. Then we answer some burning questions about traveling with a partner including pooping while sharing a hotel room, packing for your partner (cringe or not?), what the man responsibilities on the trip should be, and how the type of trip impacts the amount of sex you have. Lastly we read and break down some hilarious honeymoon stories ranging from butt stuff (not the sexy kind) to losing rings to ferry fails. Enjoy!

We all know women are the FBI when it comes to dating, and we are diving in deep with the hosts of The Dating Detectives podcast – private investigator Mackenzie Fultz and comedian Hanna Anderson. We discuss how to catch liars, cheaters, catfishes, and DOGfishes, how to find someone online, the number one red flag when newly dating someone, why you can never trust a photo, "Are we dating the same guy?" Facebook groups, and when to be suspicious if a guy tells you his ex was crazy or he's cheated in the past. We also discuss the day-to-day of being a PI and how to become one (for Ashley), and we break down two unsolved dating mysteries – one wild listener submission and one mind-boggling experience a male friend of ours had. Before our guests join us, we're talking about cheap guys, farting in front of your partner, and a dining experience we keep having that would only happen in LA. Enjoy!

We are thrilled to have journalist/author/podcaster Liz Plank join us to discuss the state of men, dating, and the country. We talk about masculinity and feminism, and the illuminating research about what type of society benefits both genders the most. We dive into dating and mating – which careers are the best and worst to date (ie. actors vs. athletes), what to do when you know your "type" is wrong for you, why women should be pickier when selecting a partner, and the decision of having kids. Lastly, we talk about the state of the world and Liz's impactful advice for coping in these unprecedented times, and end answering some boy problems from our listeners ranging from "the sex is good but he's boring" to "I don't want to change my last name." Before Liz joins us, we dive into an email from a listener who doesn't know if she should confront her best friend about her relationship, and we debate the sentiment "Drunk words are sober thoughts." Enjoy! Follow Liz on Instagram @feministabulous and listen to her podcast Boy Problems. Follow us on Instagram @girlsgottaeatpodcast, Ashley @ashhess, and Rayna @rayna.greenberg.

It's a friendship episode, and we're focusing on feeling left out, whether it's being excluded from a group, feeling distance from a bestie, friends you introduced becoming closer, or not being part of someone's wedding when you expected to be. We chat about the pain of these experiences and how to navigate them, and break down listener emails and whether the friendships are salvageable. We're also discussing if a trio of best friends can ever work, whether or not to invite someone to your wedding, clout chasing friends, and toxic mom groups. Before we get into the topic, Ashley announces her honeymoon destination, Rayna finds out she was unintentionally luring in her exes on Facebook, and we discuss the wildest dating app photos we've ever seen.

What does dating look like in 2026? We are defining and breaking down six dating trends for the year – from "hot take dating" to "friendfluence" to "chalance" – and also discussing what romance looks like in the current landscape, how voice notes can vet potential dates, and more. Before we get into the topic, we're talking about what might be the best piece of dating advice out there, clarifying our anniversary, and sharing an incident where Ashley forgot she was married.

This episode is truly a game changer for anyone struggling with work stress, work life balance, or honestly, just having a job in general (so, everyone?) We are welcoming back psychologist and bestselling author Guy Winch to tell us how not to let work run (and ruin) your life. We discuss how to actually turn off after work, boundaries when you work from home, a ritual for curing the Sunday Scaries and not dreading Monday morning, learning how to appreciate your job (but also, when you should quit), and tips for vacationing better including his "triple dip" theory. We also discuss work stress in a relationship, including the effects on your sex life and how not to absorb your partner's work stress. Before Guy joins us, we have a celebratory (and awkward) moment for our 8-year anniversary, and we're recapping Rayna's tour kickoff and frigid trip to Florida. Enjoy!
