If you’re into the prospect of sleeping or living apart from a partner (or just curious about couples who do this), this episode with writer and professor Kelly Coyne will give you everything you need to know! We talk about couples who live in the same home but have separate bedrooms, how this affects your sex life (and what sex experts think about it), and which gender benefits more from sleeping separately. We then discuss couples who have chosen to live apart long-term, and spouses who lived together then decided to live apart and how it impacted the relationship. Kelley shares stats and the current landscape of “living apart together” and we also discuss why more women are questioning marriage and whether it actually benefits them. Before Kelly joins us, we have updates on Ashley’s engagement ring and Rayna’s flirty contractor next door, and we debate the topic: Should couples be in the bathroom at the same time? Enjoy!

We have your political questions answered with this insightful and inspiring episode with author, political analyst, and one of our favorite Instagram follows, Emily Amick (@emilyinyourphone). We cover so much: The current vibe in politics/the election, figuring out your civic personality and how to make a difference on both a local and national level, why women have been told not to talk about politics, how to talk to friends/family members with opposing views and values, if Taylor Swift’s endorsement actually made an impact, whether “all politics are corrupt” is accurate, where to get factual news, and Kamala’s policies vs. Trump. We also discuss women’s reproductive rights, why this is always such a battle, and how we can continue to fight it and win. Before Emily joins us, we discuss which states have the best and worst sex, Ashley shares an awkward coffee shop encounter, and Rayna (lightly) roasts Tessa. Enjoy!

We LOVED chatting and laughing with podcaster/influencer Becca Moore on this episode! She shares how being slut shamed by a prospective employer led her to her career today, and then we discuss the opportunistic “friends” (and mean girls) you meet when you first move to a city, and we break down sibling drama in large families. Becca shares her story of realizing she liked women, how she pursued her current partner, and why she had anxiety about hooking up with a woman for the first time. And then we talk about Pick Mes – what makes a Pick Me Girl, why guys can be Pick Me too, and how to handle these people in your friend circle. Before Becca joins us, we’re talking about Ashley officiating her first same-sex wedding, Rayna’s girl crush, our "imaginary" friends, and why we're about to come to life in the fall. Enjoy!

Would you tell your friend if you saw their partner cheating? We’re discussing all the different layers of this – seeing a friend’s partner on a dating app, catching them cheating in the wild, how to know for sure/get receipts, how to (and how not to) deliver the news, and more. We’re also discussing why the closeness of the friendship matters, and when telling someone their partner is cheating ruins the friendship. AND we’re discussing the “trend” of exposing a stranger cheating on social media…and we have thoughts! Before we get into the topic, we’re breaking down the latest Instagram update and sharing some features you may or may not know exists, and we’re talking about your partner checking people out – red flag or nbd? Hope you enjoy!
