143. Ask Away: Friend Fights, Dating in the App Age & Postpartum Confidence

Welcome back to another Ask Away episode where we’re giving our advice on everything from style challenges to conflict in relationships! We’re sharing how the preparation for Fashion Week is going as stylish mid size girlies and we must admit, it hasn’t been easy finding clothes we love that come in our size. Then we’re giving advice on how to resolve conflicts in relationships; whether it’s a friend fight or drama with your partner or family. We talk about the realities of dating in the app age, and how we’d go about defining the relationship. Finally, Kristina gives some amazing advice for new mamas looking to restore confidence postpartum. If you have a situation you need our help with, make sure to submit it for our next episode here. The juicier the better, and we love helping you out in any way we can!

 

I have had a serious friendship breakup. The one thing that bothers me the most about it is that I feel like I didn't fight hard enough for that friendship. - Kristina Zias

 

What We Talk About:

• Raeann’s healthy hair journey
• Kristina’s hair transformation
• A funny story from Kristina’s Vegas trip in college
• The high maintenance things we do to be low maintenance
• How our Fashion Week prep is going

• Tips to gain confidence postpartum and not be too discouraged buying clothes
• How to navigate the early stages of dating

Where the problem arises, especially in friendships, is when you don't say anything and you let those things build up over time. - Raeann Langas
