OMG Stop Podcast

This week,we dip into where we each grew up and how our upbringing led to us going to NYC for college and life in our 20s. We compare Jamie's life on Long Island and Krista's life in Burlington, VT as well as how our families relate to how we became who we are today.

Get pumped, friends! We're interviewing each other and asking the burning questions you've always wanted to know - just kidding, but really you'll learn a lot and hopefully feel like you know a little more about the voices you hear weekly on the podcast. Are there questions we didn't answer? Let us know!! We'll totally do a second round if that's what the people want :)

Favorites mentioned in this episode:

Shea Moisture products

Amazon clothing

This is an important topic that's often overlooked and not-addressed - we discuss body image and particularly how we find it impacts us as women in this world. We chat about increased pressure for women to look a certain way in the summer, comparing ourselves to friends around us, and still learning to completely love our physical assets into our late 20s. It's real, so give it a listen. I think you'll find it relatable. Side note: excuse my (Krista) raspy voice due to an overbooked social Saturday prior to recording.
