Remi Cruz has been a queen of content creation before it was even considered a job. Since her start as a vlogger on YouTube, she has grown her audience to millions of subscribers across two channels, on top of two podcasts: Pretty Basic and Basically Unfiltered. Lana Del Rey even gave her a shout-out as one of her favorite vloggers! And that is well-deserved praise; Remi’s bright personality makes her feel like she could be anyone’s best friend. We’re so excited to have Remi on the podcast to talk about how she juggles it all, what she’s learned about self-love over the years, and if there’s anything she’d want to do differently.
