Did you binge Nobody Wants This on Netflix as quickly as we did? Ali & Erica are diving into the show that took over our social media feeds (and for good reason) and how it relates to real-life dating. For Ali, the early days of the characters’ relationship hits very close to home and both gals contemplate how they’d react to some of the scenarios if they happened IRL.

In Updates, Erica spends time with her Italian family & learns more about dating/relationships in their culture. Ali is fresh off her 6-month anniversary trip with Skyline, which was magical while also including a frustrating moment or two…

Have a question? Erica & Ali are here to answer it! This week, we answer three listener questions. First, a woman has been setting her friend up on dates and wonders if she should share “exit interview” feedback with her. Second, when should you share potential dealbreaker like pet allergies with a date? Lastly, a listener considers canceling a date when she notices something has changed on his profile.

But first, the gals are together in Portugal with their moms! Erica reveals a side mission she started with the single ladies on the trip while Ali reflects on Skyline meeting Mama J.

Do you experience anxiety in dating and relationships? Worrying that you’ll say the wrong thing, be in the wrong relationship, or ruin things with the right one? Sarah Yudkin, relationship anxiety coach and host of You Love and You Learn podcast, has some soothing words for you (and us!). Sarah shares how her own experience with her now fiance shaped her relationship anxiety work and we discuss issues such as: knowing if it’s your gut or anxiety, how to bring up anxiety with your partner, and dealing with outside opinions about your relationship.

But first, Erica & Ali are back from Chicago and reminiscing about the show and their time in the city (which joins NYC for one of the worst cities to date, apparently). Ali reveals Skyline’s surprise for her end-of-corporate celebration and Erica makes an very fun purchase.

Where to find Sarah: On Instagram @youloveandyoulearn, on TikTok @youloveandyoulearn, at www.youloveandyoulearn.com

Timestamps: Sarah joins us at around minute 33.

Erica & Ali are back with another hilarious (at least to us) Sex And The City episode, where we dissect its theories while acting out scenes from the show. This week, we’re covering Taxi Cab Theory, how long it takes to get over a break up, and faking orgasms (with a new character introduced!).

In Updates, Erica attends a friend’s wedding…or is it one of those “pitch your friend” events?? Ali awaits Skyline’s surprise and the gals discuss Hinge’s latest update that’s designed to keep conversations going.

We always hear, “it will happen when you least expect it,” but letting go of societal timelines and expectations isn’t as easy as a catchy phrase. Enter Beth Gulotta, therapist and host of Quiet The Clock podcast. We chat with Beth about quieting the noise surrounding what you “should” be doing (hint: stop using that word!) and getting more in touch with your inner voice. She gives incredible advice on dealing with social pressure, the urge to compare yourself to others, feeling present in the now while working towards the future, and more.

In Updates, Ali introduces Skyline to one of her oldest friends and looks forward to a surprise celebration he’s planning. Erica is preparing for a month-long trip and looking forward to some much-needed family time. Plus, with their moms trip coming up, the gals chat about a TikTok trend about being close with your mom.

This week, Ali & Erica are answering short-form listener questions, rapid fire style. We take turns asking each other things like: is it ever okay to be sexual in your dating app profile? Can you be friends with a past situationship? Is it better to be good on paper or have good chemistry? And are people ever actually bad texters, or do they just not like you that much? Plus many more!

In Updates, Erica explores a new app designed to meet people in person while Ali winds down at work and hangs out with Skyline’s friends without him.
