Even the most confident among us can be deeply hurt by fat shaming. Intentional or not, overt or covert, no one wants to experience it.

It was one of our highlights from last year and tickets sold out so fast so make sure to set a reminder to buy them this weekend. As we recap our week, Raeann shares the details of her first hormone-fueled fight with Gabe. Kristina chimes in that the hormone rage just heightens after you have kids, just one of the joys of being a woman. Kristina also chats about her fight with Steve and him being antisocial with the soccer dads. In this week's obsessed, Kristina is raving about the start of a great Jersey Shore summer and Raeann is listing off curvy girl leads and crossing her fingers for a racy scene in Bridgerton.   The girls brought plenty of drama this week. We explore a brother-in-law's whirlwind engagement and the tension that results within the family. Red flags are apparent, but we give our two cents on how to restore harmony. We also discuss how to navigate a “glow down” season, from embracing self-care and mindset changes to putting on a cute new outfit. One girl asks for advice on how to proceed with a potential (aka definite) f-boy, while another asks whether or not to disclose all of her past relationships from her sexcapade era to her partner.

Once we get rid of this limiting belief and stop caring about other people's opinions, we can truly start being our most successful, badass selves.

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.

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.

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! If you need a little help with posing or feeling hot in photos, we drop the deets to our Posing & Photo Workshop!! We can't wait to see you all there!

Today we sit down with Lauren Chan, supermodel, Sports Illustrated rookie, and plus-size fashion designer (yes, she really does it all). Lauren is a prominent voice in the body-positive and self-love community and is truly redefining beauty standards across every avenue she ventures into. In our conversation, Lauren opens up about her trauma-driven pursuit of perfection, her self-discovery as a gay woman, and her inspiring journey post-divorce. We dive into her time as a Sports Illustrated rookie and how it is an incredible experience but it is also eye-opening to realize that every woman gets insulted for their own beauty standards and that there is no “perfect woman” in a man's world. Lauren shares advice about how dressing for the female-gaze is the best thing you can do for your confidence and that you should curate your social media feeds with uplifting creators that make you feel inspired. From breaking beauty standards to navigating her passions, Lauren's story shows us the importance of representation and to always stay true to yourself.   In other news, Raeann and Kristina launched Confidants yesterday!!

In this solo episode, we're talking all about the craze behind Ozempic and of course, catching up with our girls. Kristina spills the tea about her bougie Aspen brand trip, meanwhile, Raeann had a much-needed low-key week. Kristina and Raeann chat about how drastically different their lives are now as Kristina talks about how special her first mother-son dance (aka rave) was. Raeann opens up about not feeling settled and her current existential crisis that she's been trying to navigate. As for pop-culture references, we're watching Summer House, binging The Traitors, and wondering where is Kate Middleton hiding! And we're taking a poll — should Kristina be on The Real Housewives of New Jersey?   We've allll heard about it, seen ads for it, or know someone who's on it. Yes, we're talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide. While some are tempted by its promises of thinness and a lack of food noise, others raise concerns about its long-term effects and the added societal pressure to conform to a narrow beauty ideal. We have made monumental strides forward as a society in the body-positive movement but overnight we've taken steps backward. Raeann mentions her fashion collaborations have dropped due to their lack of larger sizes available. A woman's Roman Empire is their body and weight, so when praising and parading around this ideal that thinness is only a few injections away, this may have a negative effect on people in larger bodies and promote a negative stigma. There are so many sides and things to take into account with these drugs so by no means are we judging you if you are on them. Amidst this weight loss trend, we hope there's a refocus on what really matters which is feeling and being healthy, nourishing your body, and loving the body you're in, instead of constantly chasing a thinner body.   New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

We've all binged or heard about @ReesaTeesa and her 50-part TikTok series about her pathological liar husband, right? Well, let us introduce you to Raeann's sister, Tory Langas, who's about to open up about her 5-year relationship with a man who ended up being a sex addict and narcissist. The red flags started early on in their relationship when he lied about his age (hello, 16-year age gap), but was overlooked because of their love and pull towards one another. But the red flags kept piling up from fighting with family members to going to Vegas with his “ex” to not being able to hold down a job.

In this Ask Away episode, love, dating, and relationships take center stage. But before we dive into your burning questions, did you know Raeann was in musical theater?! Apparently, Raeann and Mr. Jersey even break out into show tunes together which we love. Speaking of things we love, Kristina has been obsessing over love languages which also sparks the debate if returning gifts from a loved one is tacky or not. Rae and Kristina also chat about the planning it takes to get ready as a girl, the elaborate lies they told to impress boys in high school, and the fact that they have quite different dating philosophies.  As we explore the intricacies of relationships through YOUR Ask Away questions, the ladies give their raw and juicy advice to help with your love life dilemmas. We tackle wedding planning drama and the controversial topic of tray-passed hors d'oeuvres to comparing yourself to your partner's ex to getting your partner to be more intentional. Then we spice things up by talking about the dynamics of watching porn in a relationship, emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations and the allure of a 10/10 storyline, such as the art of baking bread.

If you've found yourself saying “they hate me, it's been 6 hours since my last text ” or if you run as soon as feelings start to brew, this episode is for you. Dr. Morgan, a relationship coach, is here to help us navigate through the four different attachment styles and give us advice on how to stop self-sabotage and break toxic relationship patterns. Get ready to get deep and vulnerable as we analyze past dating history and learn how to let go of unhealthy relationship beliefs. We also learn that certain attachment styles repeatedly attract each other which made the constant “you're dating the same guy” spiral make so much sense. And remember, boundaries and self-worth is HOT.

We have a LOT to catch up on! Rae for one, drops the big “what are we” question, but does that mean they are official?! Meanwhile, Kristina is slaying the neighborhood mom scene, future Mayor Kristina D'Angelo anyone? We're also spilling tea about the craziest shit we've ever done in relationships. Hint, it involves jumping out of moving vehicles!

Buckle in for the juiciest month of the year! Raeann opens up about being single for the past five years and how she's learned to embrace and celebrate this era in her life. Kristina, drowning in NYC gloom, daydreams about Malibu beaches and for a minute contemplates a dramatic return to LA for a little sunshine. We also get into Kristina's love for Vanderpump Rules (bonus episodes anyone

Kristina is filling us in on her new neighbor meetup and Raeann tells us about the MOST chaotic Pilates class she's taken— no but really. You have to hear this story.  Then we're getting a Dating Challenge Update from Rae … it's a good one and we're excited about it. Also, OSCAR NOMINATIONS are here and there are discussions to be had. So we will absolutely be talking about Barbie and its snubbing.

Okay, quick question for the class… is every single person on the earth on Ozempic? And Tom Holland and Zendaya didn't break up, right? Because Kristina and Raeann have thoughts, questions, and opinions about it all. But before they dig into that, we're going to get caught up on Raeann's Vermont ski trip, WHICH may or may not have been her last. Ice is meant for drinks, not to ski on, ya know?    In other news, is Kristina made for the Mob Wife Aesthetic? Maybe she is and maybe she IS. Buckle up for a lively episode, no one's holding back and there's a lot of ground covered. Like, what's got Raeann teary-eyed, is Kristina's husband in the mob, and how important are intergenerational friendships?!
