Trauma may sound like a strange starting place for comedy, but then, Lenny Bruce once said, 「All my humor is based on destruction and despair.」 The ladies behind the sex, dating and relationships podcast Girls Gotta Eat are no strangers to this truth.
創傷可能聽起來像是喜劇的一個奇怪的起點，但蘭尼·布魯斯曾經說過，「我所有的幽默都是基於毀滅和絕望。」「女孩必須吃的性，約會和關係播客」背後的女士們對這個事實並不陌生。
When Ashley Hesseltine found herself in a relationship she desperately wanted to fix, but couldn』t, she did a deep dive into the psychology of relationships.
當Ashley Hesseltine發現自己陷入了一段她拚命想要修復但卻無法修復的關係中時，她對關係的心理學進行了深入的研究。
That knowledge became the foundation for Girls Gotta Eat, which she started in 2018 with Rayna Greenburg, who』d experienced her own romantic trauma when her fiancé left her.
這一知識成為了Girls Gotta Eat的基礎，2018年，她與蕾娜·格林伯格(Rayna Greenburg)一起創辦了這家公司，當未婚夫離開她時，她經歷了自己的浪漫創傷。
Now, the podcast gets 2.5 million downloads a week, is a top 20 podcast on iTunes and Spotify, and after 50 live shows last year, Girls Gotta Eat is going on tour in Australia.
現在，這個播客每周有250萬的下載量，是iTunes和Spotify上排名前20的播客，在去年50場直播節目之後，Girls Gotta Eat將在澳大利亞巡迴演出。
It’s easy to write off entertainment successes as tales of pure talent, but Hesseltine is not starry-eyed about that: 「We treated the podcast like a business from day one,」 she says.
人們很容易將娛樂業的成功視為純粹的才華故事，但赫塞爾廷對此並不樂觀：「我們從一開始就把播客當作一項生意來對待，」她說。
Being an entrepreneur has always been a goal for her, given that, 「I』ve had quote-un-quote 『problems with authority』 my whole life.」 Greenberg agrees that the greatest gift of building their brand from scratch has been the independence that comes with it. 「I』m in control of my own life and all the success and failure is my own.」
成為一名企業家一直是她的目標，考慮到「我一生都有『權威問題』。」格林伯格同意，白手起家打造品牌的最大禮物就是隨之而來的獨立性。「我掌控著自己的生活，所有的成功和失敗都是我自己的。」
Hesseltine’s background is in TV, radio and stand-up comedy.
