BROKE GIRL THERAPY

This week, we’re talking wedding hookups, ghosting, men being weird about moaning, hyper-independence, femininity, masculinity, and why some men swear they want to be needed until it actually happens. And because we can’t stop thinking about Love Island USA we of course HAD to talk about our thotz.

This week’s episode is basically what happens when I open the Broke Girl Therapy inbox and immediately regret it. We found two of the most unhinged listener emails we’ve ever received: one that might fully be an elaborate troll, and one archived saga so chaotic it somehow ends up in court. We also get into whether Rose and I could host an award show, highbrow vs. lowbrow comedy, Olivia Rodrigo’s all-women festival, America’s 250th birthday, a full Love Island breakdown, and the question currently dividing the internet: do white people have cousins?

Rose is out this week, so I've got Jess with me for a full Love Island USA Season 8 debrief.

This week Rose and I pulled questions straight from Instagram and did a full Q&A. We talked about how to make friends in your 30s, which should honestly come with a manual. We got into books that are actually worth your time vs. books that are just vibes. And yes, we answered the threesome question. Specifically, how to ask for a threesome with another man. Rose had a story, because of course she did. And it went exactly where you think it would go.

Rachel is back on Broke Girl Therapy and this episode goes from chaotic laundry debates to deep conversations about relationships, marriage, daddy issues, codependency, and what it really means to feel safe with someone. We read a listener email about waiting for commitment, reflect on growing apart in relationships, and somehow still find time to argue about how everyone does their laundry.

We’re talking Megan Thee Stallion, Klay Thompson, trad wives, and Rose’s update with Mississippi.

Cody had a wife who was fully on board, agreements in place, and an open relationship by design…and still got his heart broken wide open. This week, Cody joins me and Rose to talk about what ethical non-monogamy actually looks like inside a marriage, what happens when you fall in love with someone outside of it, and the part of polyamory nobody prepares you for: the grief.

TBH I almost didn't record this one. But Rose showed up, I sat down, and somewhere between wedding catering prices and a very chaotic DIY photoshoot, we ended up having one of the realest conversations I've had all year. This one's for anyone who's happy but exhausted… and doesn't know how to explain that to people.

A listener named “Mary” wrote in because her best friend is about to walk down the aisle and she genuinely does not think this woman should be marrying that man. The spark is gone, the sex is nonexistent, they fight constantly, and Mary is stuck at the bachelorette party holding all of this in like a ticking time bomb. This week, Rose and I unpack the kind of friendship drama that will have you texting your group chat immediately: do you tell your friend she might be settling, or do you let her make her own choices and be there no matter what?

I’m back with another throwback rerun while we’re on break and this one is a CLASSIC 😭 In “Eat The Groceries” (2018), I’m joined by Jafra, and we get into the art of ass eating, anal prep, sexual frustration, fantasies, roleplay, and why being a little wild and curious is basically self care. It’s unfiltered, chaotic, and way too funny. Enjoy the nostalgia and I’ll be back with new episodes in February!!

In the middle of a chaotic world, I wanted to run it back to 2021 with one of my favorite throwbacks: Chaotic Advice feat HK Brains, Jess Clarke, and of course Rose. This episode really means a lot to me because it came at a time when I needed an escape. I had just lost my job, reality felt heavy, and being able to sit with my friends and laugh until my stomach hurt was honestly everything. Life is so fucking serious sometimes, but it’s okay to pause, be with your people, and let yourself enjoy the moment. Press play if you need a little break and a big belly laugh.

Rachel joins us on da pod and we read listener emails and give advice as three reformed Catholics. The emails take us from moving in with a partner before marriage and how to navigate it when you are Christian, your partner is atheist, and your parents are stressed. Then we spiral into proposal talk, Catholic flashbacks, confession secrets, ghosts, and why men love to talk a big game and do absolutely nothing. Plus, “Aries” is back with an update on a divorced high school ex, long distance lust, and where the line is between fun curiosity and a nervous system crash.

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to unpack why so many of us keep ending up in the same relationship with a different face. We talk about how our childhoods quietly shape who we are drawn to, why those intense butterflies can actually be anxiety, and what it really looks like to hit rock bottom in love and choose differently. We also get into attachment styles, people pleasing, abandonment wounds, hyper independence, and how all of this shows up in our friendships, our romantic lives, and even how we think about becoming parents one day.

In this state of the world, politics is such a heavy topic. We are not here to debate policies or convince anyone where to stand. Instead, this episode is about how politics has become the thing that cracks open old wounds in my family, and maybe yours too. As I try to navigate the political differences in my family and in the world, I am also navigating what it means to finally face the family trauma I have avoided for years.

We’re getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!! We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above? We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself? So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let’s find out together!!!

We’ve always shown support for the ENM (ethical non-monogamy) community, but I understand there are still a lot of skeptics out there. Rose is definitely one of them, but in my opinion I think she’s more capable of being poly than she realizes.

I finally got to cross off one of my dream guests from my dream list…the woman who CREATED Rose. If you know Rose, you know she’s big, loud, unapologetic, always fighting for women’s rights, and embracing girlhood at every turn. But where does she get it from? WHO RAISED HER?!?! On this episode, I sit down with Rose’s mom, Kathy, to talk about what it was like to be a mother to Rose, what motherhood meant for her in general, and who she was before she became “Mom.” We also dive into the different generations of womanhood and the ways Kathy’s generation walked so that we could RUN.

Tyler Prince is back! It’s been a while since his last appearance when he opened up about manifesting the right woman. But this time we’re going deeper. Is Tyler really different from the guys so many of us have dated, or are we just projecting and assuming he’s like the rest? Steff peels back the layers to find out who Tyler Prince really is and whether he fits into the category of men we have all come across before.

This week on Broke Girl Therapy, I sit down with Michael Hollice, the Founder and Creative Director of The Play, an ethical play party and sex positive space built on health, consent, intimacy, and artistry. Michael and I talk about how being a reformed “player” led him to embrace the ENM lifestyle, the inspiration behind creating The Play, and why it is so important to normalize conversations about the many spectrums of relationships, especially within the POC community. With over 100 curated events in the ENM and polyamorous scenes, Michael brings so much knowledge, experience, and insight into what ethical non monogamy looks like in practice. If you have ever been curious about The Play, this episode will answer your questions, challenge old ideas about relationships, and maybe even inspire a new way of thinking about love, intimacy, and connection.

This week on BGT, I’m joined by Vanessa Duffy, and I’m so excited for you guys to meet her. The very first sex party I ever went to was actually Vanessa’s, and my first impression of her was how bold, confident, and unapologetic she is when it comes to owning her sexuality. We talk about her journey as both bisexual and demisexual. If you don’t know, being demisexual means you don’t really feel sexual attraction unless there’s a strong emotional connection, which honestly feels a lot like me too. We get into how these identities shape intimacy, relationships, and self-discovery, and we also ask the bigger questions like… is being demisexual shaped by trauma, our childhood, or are we just born this way?

This week Rose is back and we are joined by a brand new guest, Larry, my best friend Nina’s partner. Larry has never been on the pod before but when he told me he has ghosted a lot of women in the past (not Nina of course) I knew we had to get him on. With Rose still reeling from being ghosted by “Miller” we decided to get inside the mind of a ghoster and unpack why it happens, from attachment styles to dating habits, and hear a straight male perspective on the whole thing.

Keeks is back in the studio! I’ve been going through it emotionally this week, so I really wanted to keep things light, fun, and silly, especially since I haven’t seen Keekz in a while. Instead of reading emails, we had ChatGPT come up with a bunch of random ass questions for us to answer and keke about. It turned into pure chaos in the best way.

This week we had to dive into Love Island USA Season 7. Me, Rose, and Rachel have been in a full blown group chat obsession, debriefing after every single episode and now we’re bringing those debates to the pod. Before we get into it, let’s be clear: we know this is a heavily edited reality show, and we’re only reacting to what production chooses to show us. We don’t personally know these Islanders, and we’re actually grateful they’re brave enough to put themselves out there on national television, knowing the scrutiny that comes with it. That said, we do not condone hate or bullying of any kind. If you’re leaving nasty comments on people’s socials, stop. At the end of the day, these discussions are just for fun. It’s our little escape and honestly it brings us closer together. So grab a snack, settle in, and join us as we break down Love Island USA Season 7. Enjoy the episode and remember: don’t be a hater, spread love!
