We’re talking about:

okayyyy I put my crush to the ULTIMATE test… 👀In today's video, we play "Who Knows Who?" and find out how well we ACTUALLY know each other. We have to guess each other's favorite things, answer questions about each other, and see who gets the most answers right…and let's just say there were some answers I was NOT expecting 😭Who do you think knows the other better — me or my crush? 👀

I feel like so many girls grow up thinking there is something wrong with their bodies.
We look in the mirror and immediately notice what we wish was smaller, different, prettier, or more like someone else's. We compare ourselves to girls on social media, and even to our own friends — and somehow we end up feeling like we'll FINALLY be confident when our bodies look different. But what if the problem isn't your body?
In this episode of Real Talk, we're getting REALLY honest about body image, insecurity, comparison, beauty standards, and why so many girls struggle to feel confident in their own bodies.
I'm sharing some of the mindset shifts that have helped me change the way I think about my body and become more confident without constantly feeling like I need to fix myself. 💘
If you've ever hated the way you looked in a picture, compared your body to another girl, avoided certain clothes because you didn't feel confident, or thought, "I'll be happy with myself when I look different" — I made this conversation for you. 💭 You don't have to love every single thing about your body every day, but you deserve to have a relationship with yourself that isn't built around criticism.

🌸 Welcome to Real Talk — honest conversations about confidence, relationships, growing up, mindset, and all the things girls are thinking about but don't always say out loud.
