BROKE GIRL THERAPY

10 years ago today, I dropped the first episode of Broke Girl Therapy. So Rose came over, we got a cake, and we talked about the very messy, beautiful life this podcast helped me build. We’re getting into the wedding, the Vegas bachelorette, the things I’ve learned about myself, and why success looks so different to me now than it did in 2016. This is a little anniversary episode while I’m still o...

With a lot happening in both of our lives right now, we’ve realized it’s time to slow down, focus on what’s in front of us, and come back when we have more life to talk about. Don’t worry, this isn’t goodbye. Before we go, we play a round of Retail Therapy, get a little too honest about friendship, dating, validation, and our most unhinged moments, and answer a listener question about how to suppo...

What does dating look like when you’re entering your 30s and suddenly single again? This week, Rose and I respond to a listener navigating a breakup, dating pressure and the fear of falling behind. We get into being single in your 30s, choosing the right relationship, hyper-independence and the trad wife fantasy taking over social media. No matter your relationship status, this one might change ho...

Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Jess is back on da pod, and this time we’re letting a pink bag full of unhinged questions control the conversation. We play a new game called “Fuck Around and Find Out,” where we’re forced to answer questions about friendship, dating, sex, work, exes, resentment, secrets, and the things we usu...

A TikTok about being “the jealous friend” sent us down a very personal rabbit hole. This episode gets messy, honest, and a little uncomfortable as we unpack friendship jealousy, falling out with people you love, and what happens when someone else is living the life you thought would be yours. Content warning: This episode includes conversations about mental health and self-harm. Please take care o...

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.  Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contac...

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 a...

Rose is out this week, so I've got Jess with me for a full Love Island USA Season 8 debrief. We get into why this cast is giving "Couples Island," the Sincere of it all, the Sol situation, Mackenzie's villain edit, and who we think should've gone home before Casa Amor.  Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Stefanie Maegan https:/...

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...

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. Send...

Two emails hit different this week. One about a man who said he'd show up for her... and keeps finding reasons not to. One about a man who IS there, IS consistent, IS everything on paper -- just not in the way she needs most.

We’re talking Megan Thee Stallion, Klay Thompson, trad wives, and Rose’s update with Mississippi. Is it weird to go from a situationship with intimacy to suddenly being “best friends” with someone you’ve slept with? And how do you even explain that friendship to your future partner?

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. Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirlt...

This week the listeners came through with the kind of stories that make you stop mid text and just stare at the wall for a second. We got into lying, birthday disappointments, and what it really looks like when your partner shuts down instead of showing up tbh Send us your questions and stories to be featured on da pod https://www.brokegirltherapy.com/contact-page Stefanie Maegan https://www.insta...

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 te...

It’s a KEEKZ takeover. For once, I’m the one in the hot seat. Keekz took over the mic and asked me the questions no one’s ever asked me on the show before. So we switched roles and got into the episodes that broke me, the guests who changed me, the advice I regret giving, and the unexpected friendships I built along the way.

She's been with her man for 6 YEARS! No ring, no proposal, and now they're about to move in together. Should she keep being patient or demand the commitment she deserves? We read a listener's email and give three WILDLY different takes on marriage, moving in before engagement, and whether love alone is enough.

Imagine finding out through an anonymous text that the guy you’ve been seeing is actually MARRIED!??!

Have you ever asked the universe for a sign? In this emotional episode of BROKE GIRL THERAPY, we sit down with astrologer and psychic medium Danny Santos to talk birth charts, the clairs, and how to recognize signs from your spirit guides. Then Danny does a live reading that leaves us shook, including hyper specific details for Rose that he could not have known. I also connect with my Filipino lin...

Rose friendzoned her situationship 🙃 We're also diving deep into the truth about having a "type" specifically our honest experiences dating Black men, navigating cultural differences, and the reality of interracial relationships.

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 F...

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 i...
