How I Learned To Love My Body: Raeann Langas & Kristina Zias—Botox & Filler, The Pros & Cons of Curve Modeling & How Health Scares Impact Body Love

1 hour 13 minutes

One of the most common questions that I get during my Sunday IG Q&As is where my body confidence comes from, and to be honest, I developed it even at all somewhat recently, and it’s still very much a work in progress. Because it’s something so many of us struggle with, I decided to invite on some of the most confident women I know and ask them: how did you learn to love your body?

My guests today are Raeann Langas and Kristina Zias. Raeann is a content creator, curve model, podcaster, and body acceptance influencer. Kristina Zias is a host, curve model, fashion blogger and body activist who also hosts size inclusive style segments for Access Hollywood and KTLA. Together, they host a super fun podcast called The Confident Collective, which they actually interviewed ME for, so definitely head over there and check that out—I shared a lot of stories and thoughts I haven’t shared anywhere else.

On this episode, we talk about:

What they do on bad body days

How to know when to change things you don’t like with things like Botox, filler, surgery, or even hair dye, versus accept it

The one trick that can make anyone feel more body confident

Behind the scenes in the curve modeling industry

How Kristina’s pacemaker and health issues have impacted her relationship with her body

Pregnancy, childbirth, and the impact of motherhood on body love
