Welcome back to Too Smart For This! In today’s episode, I am joined by one of my all-time favorite influencers, Kelsey Kotzur. Kelsey’s platform is a captivating combination of fashion, film, and body positivity. However, there’s always more to someone than what we see online. Throughout this episode Kelsey talks about the lessons she learned from growing up without much money, learning to love her body through weight fluctuation, and the scandal that led to her TikTok rise. Kelsey’s story is a reminder that hard work pays off, our bodies deserve love, and that you’re too smart for anyone who doesn’t support you!
