November 19, 2024A Real Talk on Body Confidence
This week, Raeann and Kristina get real about body confidence, reflecting on the pressures of “thin is in” culture and how it affects their mindset. Both girls have faced a tough year with their body confidence—Raeann’s ups and downs of feeling hot vs hating her body and Kristina’s struggle with clothes that don’t fit and the suburban skinny bubble. They also discuss balancing body positivity with health goals, the power of habits, and checking in with how you’re feeling. Remember, confidence naturally ebbs and flows, and practicing self-love wherever you’re at in this journey is important! In other news, Kristina shares the buzz of filming in a new studio, previously graced by Lala from Vanderpump Rules, while Raeann opens up about an amazing psychic reading. The girls also dive into the iconic Martha Stewart documentary and the drama around the crazy $12M Brianna Chickenfry and Zach Bryan NDA.
