  • Don't Pick Me ft. @e.ssenci.a

    This week Destinista is joined by her cousin Ess, they had a good ol' time discussing "pick me" culture! They defined what a pick me is, why people choose this life, how men encourage women to want to be one, what it looks like in REAL life and the importance of doing some choosing for yourself.

    They both also admit that they've had "pick me" moments and told some hilarious stories. But at this big age - If you're looking for someone to fit your mold the girls say DON'T PICK ME.


    Affirmations:

    1. What’s for me, will always be for me.
    2. Impressing others is only a side effect of me impressing myself.
    3. When you pick yourself, you are no longer concerned with being picked.

                      This week Destinista speaks to another good, good girlfriend of hers, Tia Monai, the creator of Millenial Muvas, an amazing group and brand dedicated to Millennial Moms. The pair discuss everything Body Positivity, including their views on the movement itself and their personal stories on growing up and dating as fat girls, learning to love the skin that you're in and raising and influencing the next generation in a way that helps us heal but also gives them an upbringing that they they won't have to heal from. Body Positivity is about ALL bodies, so it's important that whoever you are, whatever your body type you remember that you can rock it with confidence and love, and some days it may not be that simple but, you can keep going and growing.
