Girls Gotta Eat

It's a friendship episode, and we're focusing on feeling left out, whether it's being excluded from a group, feeling distance from a bestie, friends you introduced becoming closer, or not being part of someone's wedding when you expected to be. We chat about the pain of these experiences and how to navigate them, and break down listener emails and whether the friendships are salvageable. We're also discussing if a trio of best friends can ever work, whether or not to invite someone to your wedding, clout chasing friends, and toxic mom groups. Before we get into the topic, Ashley announces her honeymoon destination, Rayna finds out she was unintentionally luring in her exes on Facebook, and we discuss the wildest dating app photos we've ever seen. Enjoy!

This episode is truly a game changer for anyone struggling with work stress, work life balance, or honestly, just having a job in general (so, everyone?) We are welcoming back psychologist and bestselling author Guy Winch to tell us how not to let work run (and ruin) your life. We discuss how to actually turn off after work, boundaries when you work from home, a ritual for curing the Sunday Scaries and not dreading Monday morning, learning how to appreciate your job (but also, when you should quit), and tips for vacationing better including his "triple dip" theory. We also discuss work stress in a relationship, including the effects on your sex life and how not to absorb your partner's work stress. Before Guy joins us, we have a celebratory (and awkward) moment for our 8-year anniversary, and we're recapping Rayna's tour kickoff and frigid trip to Florida. Enjoy!
Follow Guy on Instagram @guywinch and get his new book Mind Over Grind.
