Girls Gotta Eat

We are so excited to have sat down with Stassi Schroeder ahead of her new show, House of Stassi, to get candid about her reality TV comeback, this show’s contrast from anything she’s done before, why she didn’t edit out the “bad parts,” working with her husband, and what she’s most fearful of when it premieres. We also talk about her first TV stint (it wasn’t Vanderpump!), why reality shows are so much different now, filming with Katie Maloney again, the “Mandela Effect” about her and Jax Taylor, and why being on reality TV is her therapy. She also opens up to us about the pressure of being a perfect mom, being the breadwinner and how her and Beau co-parent, if she ever feels envious of her peers, and the trick she uses to avoid the comparison trap. Before Stassi joins us, we discuss whether you’d rather be seen or heard having sex and how we switched roles for this recording. Enjoy!

Follow Stassi on Instagram @stassischroeder and check out her new show House of Stassi dropping July 29 on Hulu.

We loved our conversation with Isabel Klee (aka @SimonSits) about dogs, boys, and coming of age in New York City. The #1 NYT bestselling author shares her stories of looking for love in her 20s before she met her fiancé, the dogs she fostered along the way, and why you can fix a dog but you can’t fix a man. We talk about what secure relationships really feel like and why she freaked out and ended one, the insanely romantic thing he did to get her back, and her theory on getting back together after a breakup. We also discuss why backpacking post-college was “cool” in theory but lonely in reality, her upcoming summer camp wedding, red flags with guys when it comes to dogs, and her book being made into a TV show. Before Isabel joins us, we are talking about friendships going through different stages of life and debating if certain foods have a time of day. Enjoy!

We are discussing the joys of girls trips but also answering some of the uncomfortable questions that come with them – What if everyone has different budgets? How do you navigate opposite travel styles? Do you share rooms (or beds) after the age of 30? What if one girl wants to stay separately from the group? How many plans are too many plans? Does the person who books the house get first choice of room? – and more! And we are also recapping our recent girls trip to France, debating our favorite countries, and chatting about how travel has changed over the last 10-20 years (for better or for worse). Enjoy!
