Warning: This episode may make you feel things. We absolutely loved talking with author/poet Josie Balka ahead of her debut book about everything from body image to exes to friendship. We discuss how no one cares what you look like in a swimsuit, why the people who didn’t want you stick with you more than partners who did, reflective questions to ask yourself after a first date, that one person in your life you wish you never met, and why friendship breakups can be harder than romantic breakups. She also opens up about her fiancé, and we discuss our own past and present relationships. Before Josie joins us, Rayna shares friend behavior that should be straight to jail, and Ashley tells the tale of the woman who walked out of her standup show. Enjoy! Follow Josie on Instagram @josiebalka and Tiktok @josiebalka and order her book I Hope You Remember.

Put this episode on if you want to get fired up (in the best way). We loved having author and influencer Drew Afualo in the studio going all the way off about the patriarchy and taking no shit from men (on the internet and IRL). She shares her journey of working in sports, getting fired (like all the cool girls do), and how she found her voice and created the platform she has today. She discusses how we all start out as Pick Me Girls, dating men when you hate men, the fallacy of the “leftover woman,” how to be more brave and find your voice, the one tip she has for anyone who wants to be an influencer, how men and women reflect differently after they go through a breakup, and so much more. Before Drew joins us, we talk about Rayna’s meal prepping and the embarrassing thing Ashley did in her sleep. Enjoy!

We are so glad to welcome back Brittany Piper – speaker, author, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and educator in sexual violence prevention and trauma recovery. In this episode, she is sharing her expertise of somatic healing, which starts with the body and can be life-changing for anyone with trauma, anxiety, and/or chronic stress, especially if traditional talk therapy isn’t working. We discuss the science of the nervous system, learning the language of your body and how to regulate your stress responses, how to de-escalate your anxiety, and what a “trigger” actually is. We also discuss trauma and anxiety in relationships – talking to your partner about your needs, how you can be a helpful partner to someone who is struggling, co-regulating, and using a tool called “parts work” in a conflict. Before Brittany joins us, we’re discussing wild AI text summaries, and unpacking a listener dilemma about a situationship with a colleague. Hope you enjoy!

We have our friend, content creator, and second GGE guest ever Jeremy Jacobowitz back on the show to talk about our favorite topics – food and dating. We kick this fun convo off talking about the most underrated food cities, traveling to Japan, LA vs. NYC food scenes, Jeremy’s beef with a popular bagel spot, and using restaurant reservations as bait on dating apps. Then we discuss dating and specifically first dates – who should pay, is it weird if he offers to pick you up, why no one wants to have dinner on a first date, why men show their crazy more than women, and our listeners’ nightmare first dates. Before Jeremy joins us, we break down the most unhinged dating app prompt we’ve seen and the meanest DM Ashley ever received. Enjoy!
