On this episode, I sit down with two members of the Freckled Foodie Family and registered nurses at John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, MD, to discuss what it was like to be a healthcare worker and on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss how their roles adapted with the onset of the pandemic, their reflections on the past fourteen plus months, and the emotional and physical impact it had on them. To all of our healthcare and frontline workers - THANK YOU!!

In this episode I sit down with curve model and TikTok influencer, Remi Bader. We discuss how she came to start her “realistic haul” videos after feelings of frustration while shopping and trying to find flattering outfits for her body. We dive into the not-so-fun aspects of sharing your life (and body) on the internet and how her content brings humor to the otherwise frustrating and overwhelming process that shopping for new clothes can be.

In this episode, I sit down with our doula, Ebonie Tudor. We discuss the very basics of what a doula is, the services they offer, how she became one, and why we decided to work with one during my pregnancy and for the birth of our child.

In this episode I sit down with Kate Norkeliunas (aka Kate from Tik Tok). Kate tells us how she got her start on the app, her growth, mission and future account plans. Kate also shares her history with eating disorders and we deliberate on dealing with comments on social media that emotionally impact us. We dive into the differences between being a consumer versus a creator on both Instagram and Tik Tok and getting wrapped up in follower counts and metrics.
