We’re BACK pretty thang! On our season premiere episode we talk about botox, BBLS and just how, dare we say, f*cked up the cosmetic industry really is. Through the years we’ve learned what loving our bodies can look like (although ever fluctuating) and reflect on how far we’ve come with healing through our disordered habits and eating. It’s all a journey, and while these topics can be difficult to talk about at times, we’re happy to be sharing it all with you, our PB fam. Cheers to a new season and caring less about what people think! *clink *clink.

TW: in this episode we talk about disordered eating. If this episode is not for you, just know we’re sending love your way and will see you on next week’s episode! <3
