Girls Gotta Eat

We have our friend/food influencer/culinary goddess Emily Fedner back, and she is six months sober! She shares the journey of getting here – her history of drinking and if it was always a problem, her rock bottom moment when she decided to get sober, and how her life has changed since. We discuss how romantic relationships played a part in her alcohol use, not being able to relate to sober people until she did, the first few weeks of sobriety (“the pink cloud”) vs. now, and the biggest struggle she is currently facing. She also shares her Dating Hack and Dating Wack and what it’s like to be a recent redhead. Before Emily joins us, Rayna has a body update and Ashley shares a mind-blowing encounter she had while home searching. Enjoy!

We are joined by our friend Keltie Knight, Emmy-award winning television personality, OG podcaster, and creator/author of The F*ck Them Theory – for when “let them” just won’t cut it. We discuss the meltdown that inspired her to write this book, the hard truth about achieving happiness, and why it’s ok to be messy, “try-hard,” and even a little petty. We chat about fake friends in Hollywood, body image and the “goal weight” that haunts her, why she got a face lift, and the trick everyone is using on the red carpet to look snatched. And we discuss her marriage and the ONE thing you need to look for in a partner above anything else. We are obsessed with this theory and and hope you feel empowered by the conversation! Before Keltie joins us, Rayna shares a throwback celeb sighting, and Ashley is spilling the tea on her upcoming move. Enjoy!

Serena Kerrigan is back and better than ever with her debut book Let’s F*king Date – your new dating bible with all the support/advice/tough love you need, and isn’t just for singles (hot take: marriage is not the finish line). We discuss how to date intentionally but with less stress, negative language you need to stop using immediately, the good news for girls who have friends, how to never have a bad date using the 3P Theory, and what to do when someone ghosts you. We also discuss her own relationship, from creating content on vacations without it feeling like a chore, to having small families and creating their own traditions, and dating someone who doesn’t drink. And we kick off our new segment “Dating Hack, Dating Wack.” Before Serena joins us, Rayna pops off about fall fashion and Ashley shares yet another humbling encounter with an American Airlines flight attendant.

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!

We are so excited to have sat down with Stassi Schroeder ahead of her new show, House of Stassi, to get candid about her reality TV comeback, this show’s contrast from anything she’s done before, why she didn’t edit out the “bad parts,” working with her husband, and what she’s most fearful of when it premieres. We also talk about her first TV stint (it wasn’t Vanderpump!), why reality shows are so much different now, filming with Katie Maloney again, the “Mandela Effect” about her and Jax Taylor, and why being on reality TV is her therapy. She also opens up to us about the pressure of being a perfect mom, being the breadwinner and how her and Beau co-parent, if she ever feels envious of her peers, and the trick she uses to avoid the comparison trap. Before Stassi joins us, we discuss whether you’d rather be seen or heard having sex and how we switched roles for this recording. Enjoy! Follow Stassi on Instagram @stassischroeder and check out her new show House of Stassi dropping July 29 on Hulu.
