Naomie Olindo of Bravo’s Southern Charm chats with Krystal & Scott. She shares why she left the show + who she’s still close with (+ the one cast member she no longer speaks to). Naomie tells a funny story about a recent encounter with her ex boyfriend, Craig, & her new bf, Metul, and how they accidentally ended up spending the day together. Krystal and Scott get all the details on how Naomie took advantage of her time on reality TV and the social media following she gained from it, and how she used that influence to strategically build her successful e-commerce fashion brand, L’ABEYE.

Over cheddar biscuits and seafood dip, Krystal and Scott report on the road from their first LIVE show at Red Lobster. They took the show on the road to provide an ASMR-style review of the Dewgarita - something we all need a few of this election week. Krystal opts for the virgin version and lets the cat out of bag on a major life update. They discuss what's slowing their scroll on TV and social media. By the end of things, a glassy-eyed Scott may or may not have consumed FIVE Dewgaritas as the waitress/sole audience member likely assumed they were secret diners or sent from Mountain Dew corporate HQ.

Fitness (and fashion!) influencer from @a_southerndrawl, Grace White joins Krystal. Grace shares how she evolved from blogging about fashion and beauty to creating an entirely NEW blog, business and social media presence dedicated to her passion for fitness. She shares the differences between the two worlds of fashion & fitness, how she handles the pressure to stay fit (while still eating the chocolate) and some common misconceptions of being a fitness influencer.

Sarah Tripp from Sassy Red Lipstick joins Slow Your Scroll this week. They start with a lightning round of questions like the three bloggers she would be stranded with on an island, the brand who does size inclusivity right and who she’d like to share a pumpkin spice latte with. Sarah shares what’s like to work full time with your husband, plus live in a two-influencer household. She goes deep, raw and transparent and shares what really went down with that J. Crew try-on haul scandal, publicly sharing for the first time what happened, how she felt and how that experience changed her. A must listen episode!!

Both long-time bloggers turned podcasters, they discuss how social media has changed this year and the different approaches they’ve taken on their platforms. Finally, Grace suggests when and why “not staying in your lane” on social media can be a good thing.

There is a touch of cool in the Louisiana air this week and Scott and Krystal are in their fall feelings. They cover everything they’ve been influenced by this month, including spooky TV and new insta account obsessions, but it’s mainly all about the food. From pumpkin spice to everything else nice, like mexican pizzas and Dewgaritas, they cover all of today’s influential foods. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll learn how to order fall drinks and you may even send nudes. It’s a wild ride. There are several call to action items this week, so get out your spooky notebooks, take notes and take action, y’all.
