    174. Ask Away: Dating a Short King, How to Flirt & Getting Friend-Zoned
    Apr 30 2024
    Today’s Ask Away is a good one, but first a little life recap! Raeann may have came back from her Mexico vacation paler than when she got there, but her relationship with Gabe has grown stronger. Raeann and Kristina share how they feel like they are glowing down, but apparently it’s a normal feeling in your early 30s so love that for us. Speaking of aging, Kristina got a 3D mirror image of her face and left with Botox recommendations and how to fix her tech neck. Also, Kristina drops that she is Taylor Swift’s muse?! One of her songs mentions an interview Kristina had with Travis Kelce and the Swifites are obsessed to say the least. Meanwhile, Raeann is fixated on the common theme that men never ask questions on dates and are just terrible conversationalists; the reason why is up for debate. On today’s Ask Away, we give advice that will hopefully help you navigate your life dilemmas. Dating a short king can be an insecurity for some, but just own it! Rock the high heels and don’t be self-conscious about it. We also give our hot takes on how to get comfortable with flirting out in the wild. If you leave the RBF behind and give them a compliment about how much you love their shoes, you’ll be just fine. We share our thoughts on how to handle being friend-zoned and the best way to ask your friend to pay you back. You got this ladies, just be yourself and be confident!

  • 173. Unfiltered With Chelsea Blackwell: Life After Love is Blind

    173. Unfiltered With Chelsea Blackwell: Life After Love is Blind
    Apr 23 2024
    Today we sit down with Chelsea Blackwell to unveil what really went down during her time on Love is Blind, the Megan Fox debacle, and her dating life post Jimmy. Chelsea thought she didn’t say or do anything too crazy on the show that would bring unwanted attention, but little did she know that she would soon be roasted by America for saying Megan Fox is her celebrity doppelgänger. As she navigates this new life in the spotlight, she is handling the scrutiny with humor and grace while embracing exciting new opportunities with confidence. Chelsea gives her raw thoughts on the Love is Blind experiment, if she would do it again, and what really happens during a normal day in the pods. She opens up about her toxic relationship with Jimmy and the unexpected rollercoaster of emotions. As she reenters the dating scene, she is excited to see what happens and may even slide into some celebrity DMs. From being a jet-setting flight attendant to being a verified reality star, the world is truly your oyster and we cannot wait to see what’s next for you, Chelsea! In other news, Raeann fills us in on her first vacation with Gabe! Other than Raeann ditching Gabe for TSA pre-check, it went swimmingly! Kristina and Raeann real talk about the dreaded bathroom sitch when traveling with your significant other. Are you a lobby bathroom or embrace the awkwardness type of person? Also, Raeann is still on the apartment hunt, apparently finding a place in NYC for under 10k/month is not an easy feat. And Kristina raves about her friend’s new movie, Musica, on Amazon. This is an episode you won’t want to miss, and if you haven’t seen Chelsea’s season of Love is Blind, we highlyyy recommend for a great binge-watch!

  • 172. Solo Episode: Being the Bigger Friend, Childhood Trauma & Changing Your Mindset

    172. Solo Episode: Being the Bigger Friend, Childhood Trauma & Changing Your Mindset
    Apr 16 2024
    In today’s solo episode, we talk about growing up as the bigger friend and the universal experiences we went through as a result. But before we dive in, we have to fill you in on a few things. Big steps were taken as Gabe met Raeann’s parents for the first time! There might have been a little chaotic family energy but we realized every family has a little crazy in them. Speaking of, how often do you talk to your parents?? Kristina’s trip to elusive Sarasota finally left the group chat. We also chat about the financial pressure of over-the-top bachelorette parties and similarly, the slippery slope over birthday dinners when the check comes. And of course, in pop culture news, Nick Viall’s reality recap podcast enlightens us with a male perspective about constantly critiquing your partner and the debate over proactive couple’s therapy. If you’ve ever felt the anxiety that comes with writing down your extra-large t-shirt size in a room full of size smalls, this is for you. Being the big girl in the friend group or growing up as the bigger girl, we have had to endure many experiences that take a hit to our self-esteem. The defeating experience of prom dress shopping, not being able to share clothes with friends, and the feeling that no boys like you, were just some of the fun things we had to go through as the bigger friend. Raeann and Kristina also open up about how their families affected their body confidence, both the good and the bad. As we work through our past traumas, we learn to change our mindset and how we should talk to ourselves. This change in mindset was largely due to the body-positive movement in the media and seeing others embrace self-love at any size. Hype yourself up and fake it till you make it because you ARE hot!
