Girls Gotta Eat

We are beyond honored to be joined by the modern master of adult attachment theory – Dr. Amir Levine! The neuroscientist and co-author of the bestselling book Attached, and his new release Secure, is here to explain the four attachment styles and how they dictate our lives, and how anyone (yes, anyone) can become more secure in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and more. He walks us through the five attributes of secure attachment (CAARP), and the importance of seemingly insignificant minor interactions (SIMIs). We talk about whether an avoidant person and an anxious person can work out romantically, his technique of “wall tennis with love” to use with an avoidant, why predictability in a partner is hot not boring, his rule for managing a conflict with someone you love, and why secure attachment is contagious. Before Amir joins us, Rayna recaps her movers coming, Ashley has an unpopular food opinion to discuss, and we talk about how much your best friend should know about your sex life. Enjoy!

Watch Dr. Amir Levine’s MasterClass The Science of Connection, get his books Attached and Secure, and visit his website for more.

This episode is for millennials (or anyone!) wondering (*cue Billie Eilish*) What Was I Made For? We’re discussing hitting the point in your life where you start assessing/reflecting/questioning, and why millennials are being hit so hard with this. We talk about the state of the world, the work force, the revolt against Girl Bossing, the “caregiving squeeze,” and why it can be so painful to not have the partner and/or family you had hoped for. BUT it’s not a doomsday discussion – we talk about how to live your best life even if it’s not the one you envisioned and share all the ways our listeners are handling their midlife crises from mahjong to Marlboros. Before we get into the discussion, we talk about Rayna moving to New York, how Ashley is feeling, and share all our thoughts on life in LA vs. NYC. Enjoy!

We are so excited to have Tunde Oyeneyin back on the show IN PERSON to talk about this being her last single summer. She shares why she’s decided it’s her last summer without a partner and how she is acting accordingly, manifesting, and prepping for the right guy – and how you can do the same. She is spilling the tea on a nightmare matchmaker experience she had, a date with someone who seemed like The One…until he wasn’t, and why she doesn’t care if men are intimidated by her. In addition to the dating discussion, we chat about her being a 2026 Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and how she is more confident than ever at 40. She also shares her incredible and inspiring story of being hired at Peloton after being rejected initially, how Cody Rigsy advocated for her, and why you can’t give up on your dreams. Before Tunde joins us, we each share recent crazy experiences we had in NYC – Rayna at a massage parlor and Ashley on the streets at night. Enjoy!

Follow Tunde on Instagram at @tune2tunde, take her classes on Peloton, and get her book Speak.
