We are re-releasing one of our most beloved and impactful interviews with the iconic Esther Perel, with a fresh intro (plus never before seen footage for the video version).

The renowned psychotherapist and author joins us to talk about relationships, sexuality, and infidelity. We cover cheating in depth, including why it occurs, why it hurts so badly, how to trust again, and whether relationships can come back from infidelity. And we're also discussing the expectations we put on our partners nowadays, why they may not be realistic, and how to navigate this for a healthy relationship. Enjoy!

Will less attractive guys treat you better? Are broke boys better in bed? These are the questions…and we have answers. We're discussing the dating trend of "Shrekking" (dating down when it comes to looks) and why some people think it's the move, and others say it will ruin your love life. We're also discussing dating expectations in general and what's realistic (and not realistic) to look for in one person. And we break down another "Should I break up with him?" email about when your passions in life don't align. Before we dive into the topic, we're recapping Ashley's (third and final) bachelorette in Vegas including Rayna's Chippendales performance, dress-gate in the Vegas mall, and being hot messes in the airport. Enjoy!

Amber Rae was married when she looked into the eyes of a stranger and instantly fell in love, and she's here to tell her story. The bestselling author shares the truth about her marriage and lack of intimacy, what she was lying to herself about, the problem with "good on paper guy," being a people pleaser, and how falling for someone else while married turned her world upside down. We talk about how everything transpired, how her husband watched her fall in love in real time, backlash and losing friends over her decisions, and more. Before Amber joins us, we're recapping Ashley's special filming and Rayna seeing an old hookup 15 years later. Enjoy!

We are so excited to be joined by our friends (and wonderful couple) Kate Steinberg and Chad Savage! We're talking about them meeting on an under-the-radar reality show years ago, their five-year engagement, and recent second proposal (and why they almost fought when it happened). We're discussing Kate's influencer career and how she conceptualizes and creates her viral millennial content, plus we're popping off about all the millennial hate out there. We also talk about struggling with anxiety (especially surrounding social media), boundaries when you work with your partner, why it's hard to make friends in LA, and more. Before Kate and Chad join us, we're (belated) reviewing The Life of a Showgirl, trading STD scare stories, and Rayna shares a nightmare situation that happened with a houseguest. Enjoy!

It's just us this week and we're breaking down a listener email about the relatable crisis of having doubts about your long-term partner. We discuss so many aspects of relationships and marriages -- marrying young (and what IS the optimal age to say I Do), not growing in the same direction as your partner, when your life is perfect on paper but you're unsettled, feeling like your partner isn't challenging or exciting enough, and even catching feelings for someone else. We also discuss the fear of the fallout after a breakup – friends, family, pets, a shared home, etc. – and how to navigate these tough decisions. Before we get into the topic, we're discussing where couples are supposed to sit (and not sit) on planes, Ashley shares a crazy story from a recent show, and Rayna has been having too much fun bossing a man around. Enjoy!
