The idea of attachment theory has been thrown around for AGES. Most people tend to fall into one of four attachment types: anxious, avoidant, secure, and a new addition to the theory, disorganized. You can categorize yourself into one or a few attachment types based on your romantic relationships, friendships, working relationships & more. Still, the real question is: has attachment theory gone too far? Today, we are discussing each attachment type and its characteristics and answering...

Talk about the surprise of a lifetime: Christina successfully surprised Lily with the viral TikTok NYC NPC Harrison Flint on today’s episode! After the perfect setup for chaos, we made it happen, people.  Harrison is best known for his music and, of course, going viral on TikTok live for playing into the NPC trend where TikTok users can join his live streams, send him gifts, and based on the gift they give him, he will act a certain way or say a catchphrase (much like an NPC, duh). He...

So your partner breaks up with you for another person, or they move on to someone new pretty quickly, or maybe your crush likes someone else, OR MAYBE your partner cheated on you.

After last week’s episode, where we wouldn’t shut up, we are returning with an episode that ACTUALLY has a topic: navigating your 20s. There’s so much pressure placed upon us people in our 20s to have it all figured out: the career, the friends, the relationship, the home, and way more, but it’s pretty unrealistic. Most people in their 20s don’t have it together in the slightest or aren’t even figuring out what they want to do until their mid to late twenties. We might not be able to...

Unfortunately, many of us have either heard of or dealt with a toxic relationship or a narcissistic partner we feel can do no good. Today’s episode was inspired by some unsettling information Christina found out over the past week about an ex-boyfriend, and we are here to tell the tale & warn all of you of the signs of a narcissist and toxic relationship patterns.  We’re going over the signs, discussing if you can fix a toxic relationship and, if you can’t, how to break out of that...

Being delusional is typically described as “holding false beliefs about external reality that are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary” (thanks, Google). However, as we always say, Gin & Toxic is just CNN for dumb bitches, so let us dumb it down for you: being delusional is acting as if everything is exactly as you want it to be (at least that’s how the TikTok girlies describe it).  Today, we’re feeding into the delulu-movement that’s all the rage right now &...

We are here to break you out of your Hinge/Tinder/Bumble-f**k chokehold and teach you how to stop swiping and start dating OUTSIDE the apps.  Tune in as we discuss the flaws in dating apps, where to meet people IRL,...

Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to an easy breakup, but we’re here to give you some tips on how to make the entire experience a *bit* smoother. Follow...

We know… it’s quite the title of an episode after taking an accidental two-week hiatus from the show, but it couldn’t be more accurate to our current mental state. You heard us right, it is OFFICIALLY hot girls’ summer, and what better way to kick that off than to announce Christina’s newfound FREEDOM!  Tune in for the catch-up of a lifetime, from the explanation behind Christina’s breakup to Lily publicly embarrassing herself in front of her boyfriend’s friends, and a WHOLE lot more....
