This weeks story is a tearjerker - we sit down with my new friend Sicard who you may know from his stunning TikTok that features Architectural Digest home reviews and Pinterest dreams. But his life hasn’t been all beautiful - he shares the story of how his family disowned him upon finding out that he was gay at a young age. He takes us on his journey and shares how being himself has gotten him to exactly where he wants to go.

Note from Alexis: Welcome to our *new TSFT publishing day, THURSDAYS!! You all voted and this is where we are! Additionally, I accidentally say "finish up" this month's series in today's intro, but that's false - we're actually in the middle of it so we will absolutely have more fabulous Confidence episodes for you this month! CW: This episode contains discussions of eating disorders and fatphobia. Have you struggled with body and relationship confidence? So has Alexa Jay McCoy. In today's episode, she gives us the rundown of her personal history with an eating disorder, abusive ex-boyfriend, and anti-blackness that led her to feel awful in her own skin, and how she turned that around to become a thriving influencer and model.  We discuss her most recent publicized run-in at The Highlight Room, the pressures of social media, and dealing with mental health issues as an influencer.

It’s 2023 baddies, and we’re kicking off the year with a confidence-building series from the girls who simply GET IT. If you’re in need of a reminder that being you isn’t just good enough, its all you’ve got, today’s episode with Unikue will get you there. Alexis and Uniekue jump into their shared experience of always being seen as “intimidating,” going to predominately white Boarding schools, and how they’ve taken control of their narrative with TikTok. Uniekue shares how to grow on TikTok by being yourself, and teases upcoming projects.

Have you struggled with taking care of yourself, or do you struggle with health issues? In this week's episode of Too Smart For This, we are joined by Alyssa François, a content creator, lifestyle and wellness influencer. At 32, Alyssa was officially diagnosed with endometriosis after years of suffering from debilitating menstrual cramps and no clear answers. Her diagnosis helped her determine her true purpose on this earth which inspired her to take her healing into her own hands, share her holistic healing journey with her community and to become an IIN health coach where her current focus is to help women their daily routines and to nourish themselves inside and out in the best way that they can.
