    This week's episode I talk about how I've been a little bit of a funk and steps I've been taking to snap myself out of it. A lot of it comes down to refocusing your energy on things that make you happy and taking care of yourself. Cliche, yes. But it's a cliche for a reason! (It's true). Leaving toxic people behind, unplugging from social media, I even deleted my dating apps for a little bit lol. Shorter episode this week, kept it short and sweet! Just like my iced coffee order!

I ask him 10 questions including: navigating the city, has his fashion changed, how his dating is different, and if he's staying here forever. We talk about expanding your friend network, what it's like to get cat-called, and seeing a girl you went on a date with while you're with another girl lol.

    This week I talk about how social media (instagram stories, specifically) has totally changed the game for dating and maintaining friendships. I sorta think this is the way it's going to be forever, so we all just need to figure out how to live our lives on social media without it getting super f*cking toxic... I open up about how I navigated the whole: instagram story views, tagging people in memes, muting people saga. What do you guys think?

    On this week’s episode, my friend Cristina and I went on 3 dates in 1 week to decide if dating is really a numbers game. The more people you meet the more chances you have to find someone right, right? Maybe… maybe not. We talk about having the right mindset, getting butterflies, navigating the (physical) chemistry, and just awkward dates in general. Takeaway? Dating is hard lol.

Becca talks about how much to put into your 401k (yeah, you should def do that), the money tracking apps you should have on your phone, & how to save $$$ while shopping (she saved almost $1000!).

    This week's episode got split into two parts because there was so much hot TEA to spill! In part one, my friend Ellie discusses what goes in within an influencer marketing agency and I speak about my own experiences working with brands. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes of a brand deal, and we break down the communication that goes on between both parties. I also talk about people buying fake likes, saying no to a vibrator brand sponsored post, and the time I pulled out from a campaign the night before...(very embarrassing). More to come in part 2!

I'm with my bff Cristina in this episode and we dive into the different types of rejection: negative feedback at work, not getting your dream job & being ghosted after the first date, and BREAKUPS (how could we forget the juiciest type of rejection?) Plus, one follower sent in the most inspiration quote we've ever seen, and we're sharing that with you all at the end of today's episode. Don't forget to rate and review on itunes :)
