Ask Away Part 3: How to Recover from Heartbreak, Support New Moms, Talk to Your Doctor About Weight and Practice Self-Love

Kristina and Raeann are answering your questions in today’s episode and sharing raw and honest emotions about what’s been going on in their lives behind the scenes. Raeann opens up about struggling lately with the sadness of heartbreak. Whether you’ve recently experienced a break up or are still dealing with emotions from past relationships, we’re here to remind you that it’s okay to be sad when you lose something you love. But we’re also sharing our tips for moving on, focusing on yourself and appreciating where you are now. We also get Kristina’s perspective on what you can do for a friend who is a new mom to support her, talk about what to do if your doctor suggests you should lose weight, and share our daily practices for self-love.

“Sometimes you have to sit in sadness and accept how you’re feeling and know that even though there are brighter days ahead, it's okay to be sad.” - Kristina

What we talk about:

  • How to stop judging women based on their appearance 

  • What to do if your long-term boyfriend hasn’t proposed yet

  • Can exes be friends?

  • Daily tasks to build self love

  • How to support a friend who’s a new mom

  • What to say if/when a doctor fat shames you and how to advocate for yourself

  • Leaving a long term relationship

“Oftentimes, when you feel triggered, you need to look within yourself. It's your insecurities that are feeding these thoughts. The more you build confidence in yourself and your worth, the less you’ll think about other women.” - Raeann
