Have Grant and I ever thought of cheating on each other? And could he live without me?

Over the last 30 days, we've gained a ton of new besties!! (Welcome in!!) so we figured that it would be cute and fun to do a lil couples quiz episode, so we can share more about us, our relationship, and some of the obstacles we went through to make it to nine years.

So if you're new here, this will be a cute little roadmap of our relationship and our dynamic all the way from how we first met to where we are now and if you've been a Bestie for a while, this will be a cute little refresher!

And definitely ask your partner some of these questions!

As always, let us know what you think about this episode and welcome in to all our new besties. We're so happy you're here!!

BTW: We are developing a relationship connection card deck for you to ask deep, personal and fun questions with your partner that have helped us make it to where we are! Can't wait to share more on this and help y'all explore and navigate conversation with each other💓

WOOF, Besties — this one was rough. Some episodes we walk away from with a good chuckle and a lil bit of WTF energy, but this wasn't one of them. Monster-in-laws are everybody's nightmare, but these listener letters take it to a whole new and terrifying level. If there's one thing we learned, it's how normalized it is to treat women poorly and that, unfortunately, some people are very creative in their cruelty. Get a barf bag, because these might actually make you sick.
We hope you don't lose faith in humanity.

Here are the stories we dive into today:

1. My Mother in Law Got Me Pregnant 🤰
2. My Father in Law Had My Nudes on His Phone
3. I Prayed for This Man but I Miss My EX 🫣

Thank you to the Besties who wrote in and were vulnerable enough to share their stories — we hope y'all are doing better now 💓 To submit your own listener letters, click here.

OK besties, in this episode we're answering a long standing question that many of you have asked what does my family specifically my Dad think of me dating a white guy? So our special guest is none of them my Dad, Michael and I sit down with him and a one-on-one conversation.

We get into everything from meeting Grant the first time, to his expectations of me dating, and on top of that I read him some of the hate comments that I receive for dating a white guy. And trust me these aren't even the worst of them.

If you're in an interracial relationship or have questions about interracial relationships, hopefully, this episode helps you answer some of those.

Feel free to chime in!

She's building most controversial product to ever come out of Harvard Business School and it all revolves around women, pleasure and orgasms 👀

Aja sat down with Morgan Hewett, founder of Devins Toys one of the first AI-powered sex tech companies in the world fully centered around women, and we get into what that actually means, how the Devin works and learns you and your body in real time and also roleplays with you, and why she believes women deserve sexual experiences that are fully designed around them.

Which makes us wonder, why is sex only feel like an uncomfortable topic when we start centering women in the conversation around pleasure and desire? Thats the bigger question and part of the backlash she's faced at Harvard from students to professors and in the real world from husbands and male investors.

Morgan believes orgasms and sexual exploration go beyond the experience of sex, they actually teach women about autonomy, confidence and self awareness.

Ladies, this episode is your sign to date yourself, unlearn performance in relationships, find out what it looks like to reconnect with your body without shame and center yourself in the bedroom once and for all.

This episode was one we knew we had to have, and it was a long time coming. Grant opens up to Aja about the moments he realized he wasn't man enough for the relationship he wanted to have with her. From being emotionally passive, to struggling financially, to putting in the bare minimum, and almost losing Aja completely — Grant shares what the most difficult parts of growing up while being in a relationship really look like, which is something people don't talk about nearly enough.

Aja and I have been together since our early 20s, and you don't realize how far you have to grow until somebody is putting a mirror in your face and showing you exactly what needs to change. Growing to be the man she needed wasn't easy, but it was what it took to become the partner Aja deserved.

In this episode, we get into the years of clashing, the resentment that built up, and the breaking point where Aja couldn't see a future with me anymore and how she felt as someone who refused to lower her standards for love. We talk about what it actually felt like for me to not show up as the man in the relationship, what finally pushed me to change, and how Aja began to trust me again — the small moments, the big shifts, and everything in between.

If you're in a relationship where you feel like you're falling behind, struggling with how to be the man your partner needs, or trying to figure out how to rebuild trust after you've dropped the ball, we made this episode for you.
This is our real experience and relationship advice as two people who lived through it, chose each other anyway, and made it to the other side.

Leave us a comment and let us know where you are in your journey, let's talk it out and hopefully we can help get you to the other side too.

Because we love it over here and want that for you.

Hey Besties! We’re keeping it light on this week’s episode… but trust us, the next few weeks are about to get heavy.

So before we dive into all of that, we decided to switch it up and ask each other some very serious “Would You Rather” questions. And by serious, we mean the kind that lowkey reveal how you really think about love, loyalty, jealousy, boundaries, and SECRETS.

Let's get into this would you rather couples edition and see if either of us are a red flag 👀

p.s.

Sorry Vegans :(
