Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices- Serena Kerrigan is back and better than ever with her debut book Let’s F*king Date – your new dating bible with all the support/advice/tough love you need, and isn’t just for singles (hot take: marriage is not the finish line). We discuss how to date intentionally but with less stress, negative language you need to stop using immediately, the good news for girls who have friends, how to never have a bad date using the 3P Theory, and what to do when someone ghosts you. We also discuss her own relationship, from creating content on vacations without it feeling like a chore, to having small families and creating their own traditions, and dating someone who doesn’t drink. And we kick off our new segment “Dating Hack, Dating Wack.” Before Serena joins us, Rayna pops off about fall fashion and Ashley shares yet another humbling encounter with an American Airlines flight attendant. Enjoy!

Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices - Have we optimized to the point of loneliness? We’re breaking down the question “Are my boundaries killing my love life?” and discuss whether a routine (and unwillingness to stray from it) could be impacting your ability to have fun, have friends, and date. We reminisce on millennial party culture and discuss how times and priorities have changed, offer solutions for an “over boundaried” life, and provide baby steps to getting out there more. We also discuss how a lot of today’s dating advice is hurting more than it’s helping. Before we get into the topic, Rayna gives a relationship status update, Ashley shows off her foster dog, we recap our summers, and unpack the Gen Z stare. Enjoy!
