We convinced Mark Manson (life guru/bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck) to sit down and answer the question "Is love f*cked?" (Spoiler alert: It doesn't have to be.) We discuss the current hellscape of dating and how both men and women should navigate it, expressing your feelings and getting out the gray area, and whether love is enough to sustain a relationship. We also have him "Mansplain" some hot topics like when to sleep with someone and the reason men ghost then resurface. Also on the agenda: Ashley's new fantasy and Rayna's apartment drama. Enjoy!

Is Love F*cked? feat. Author Mark Manson

Why do guys just want to f*ck you once then stalk your Instagram forever? Should you ditch the apps and meet people in the wild? How do you get over a breakup when you feel like you're gonna die?

These are all topics discussed on Girls Gotta Eat -- a comedy podcast about dating, sex, and relationships co-hosted by Ashley Hesseltine and Rayna Greenberg.

Relationships

We’re talking about opposite sex friends when you’re in a relationship – if/when you’re justified in being suspicious, couples having the rule of “no one-on-one hangs,” the controversial “work wife,” changing your behavior when your close guy friend gets into a relationship, and more. We’re also dissecting two listener emails that got us heated. Before we dive in, we’re breaking down the recent Andrew Huberman scandal and sharing a hilarious laser hair removal story, plus why Rayna is the fun one on IG and the popular food Ashley hates.

Not Our First Rodeo

It’s another episode about money, honey! We are so excited to be joined by Jason Tartick, author of the new book Talk Money to Me, to break down so many important money topics when it comes to relationships. We’re discussing financial infidelity (what it is and how many people commit it), why money issues affect your sex life, recognizing red flags, the truth about prenups, and more. He gives us some fun questions you can ask to learn more about a partner's financial personality, and also the 8 (more serious) things you need to know about someone before moving in with them. We even go over signs that someone is lying about money, and tips for approaching tough conversations in the best way.
