Confidently Insecure

Youve met my mom...now it's time to meet her better (or equal as we FEMINISTS believe!teehee) half!!...MY DAD MIKE DARRAGH!

This was such a special fun conversation to have with my dad learning about his life in Paris as a student, telling him I sold weed in high school, and what the meaning of LIFE is all about (hint: it's being a good person no matter what!)

He's really special to me but rather private and we don't always share the same political views so that's why I'm excited for you guys to meet him - to know what a relationship looks like between two people who are constantly learning from each other, loving each other, and respecting each other even as adults!!

ENJOY!

And hey, like my dad says YOU SHOULD BUY MY BOOK!! (hint hint by the way I think its coming out dec 14th... but you didnt hear it from me....)

After being named Teen Vogues 21 under 21, Forbes 30 under 30, and GLAMOURS Woman Of The Year, Nadya Okamoto (founder of @periodmovement) was CANCELLED by her peers for misrepresenting her history within the community and being called out by other women of color. Nadya had two choices - let the cancel culture define her, or DO THE WORK. Not only is Nadya here to talk about how she's starting to gain back her mental strength but we talk about exactly what goes into coming back from "being cancelled".

Well well well...here we go confidantes! The biggest election in our nations history ends tomorrow (or does it??)! I hope you were a part of that history by VOTING (or you're going to vote in person tomorrow!!)

With all the stress and emotional turmoil having a political opinion brings these days, I decided to reach out to my new hero and POLITICAL SAVANT @APOLITICALTEEN (his name is Gannon I found out) from TIK TOK!!

Gannon has quickly risen to TikTok fame by posting his live conversations with people who have ~differing~ political opinions than him and showcasing the grace and wit at which he drags them straight to hell with. AND HE'S ONLY 15 YEARS OLD.

Gannon teaches us how, moving forward after Nov 3, we can maintain decent, intelligent human conversation about various political topics (yes - even how to deal w/ ur drunk uncle at this year's thanksgiving dinner)

HAPPY PCOS AWARENESS MONTH! Perhaps you weren't even aware that September is, in fact, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) awareness month! AND THATS OKAY! It's a subject that we aren't giving enough awareness to!! We were lucky enough to speak with the incredible Julie Dillon (anti-diet, fat-positive. registered dietician) and Laura Burns (creator of Radical Body Love Yoga and badass living with PCOS) allllllll about PCOS diagnosis, treatment, and most importantly - the stigma around fat bodies and PCOS. I've got to be honest, I LEARNED A LOT! AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO!
