Join Hailey in the first episode of SEASON 2 (!!) as she sits down with her friend Gigi Romano, a recent graduate of Florida State University and founder of clothing brand, I Love You More (ILYM). Although Hailey and Gigi's lives may look perfect from the outside in, we're diving deep about how life is so much more than our Instagram feeds and external appearances. College was a game-changer for Gigi--filled with lots of lessons on self-worth, personal growth, and how to bounce back from rock bottoms. Most importantly, the girls are here to say that everyone has struggled, and instead of being ashamed and trying to hide our imperfections, we need to normalize conversations around mental health, authenticity, and how we're REALLY feeling.

Check back next week for PART 2, where Gigi shares about the messaging of ILYM, starting a clothing brand in college, creating her own designs, and her passions for mental health & fashion.

+How your self-worth and moral compass gets tested in college

A Prayer to the Body:

Kate begins by saying this prayer everyday. List aspects of how you may have judged, attacked, hated, or worshiped your body, such as engaging in risky behavior in the past, extreme exercise, and eating unhealthy food. Then, apologize to your body and say:

I understand now that you follow only my direction in all of my unloving judgments about how you look. And I have been very, very unfair. You have only done what I have asked, even in selecting this appearance. I have been wrong in judging you and very unloving for judging your [insert body judgment].

You are designed perfectly for the life I have chosen to experience in this incarnation. For all those unloving things I have said or done to you, I apologize.

From here on out, I will treat you well. I will respect you. I will not hate you and I will not worship you. I will thank you for giving me this holy opportunity to walk through this life and encounter the unloving ideas in my mind. From this day forward, I will not hate the body or attack the body or judge the body. I will appreciate the body and I will listen to the messages it is sending me.
