Confident Collective

Okay, quick question for the class… is every single person on the earth on Ozempic? And Tom Holland and Zendaya didn’t break up, right? Because Kristina and Raeann have thoughts, questions, and opinions about it all. But before they dig into that, we’re going to get caught up on Raeann’s Vermont ski trip, WHICH may or may not have been her last. Ice is meant for drinks, not to ski on, ya know?    In other news, is Kristina made for the Mob Wife Aesthetic? Maybe she is and maybe she IS. Buckle up for a lively episode, no one’s holding back and there’s a lot of ground covered. Like, what’s got Raeann teary-eyed, is Kristina’s husband in the mob, and how important are intergenerational friendships?!

What a year it’s been and what a fun episode to send us all into the Holidays! Today, we may or may not be getting some ☕️ *tea on the Golden Bachelor while Raeann fills us in on some circulating questions about the bachelor himself … not least of which, the pronunciation of “Gerry.” Then we get into Taylor Swift’s latest Vogue cover and some quotes to chew on, because obviously we must and we will! 👸 Before we start looking to the new year we have some dating recaps from Raeann, a solid story involving an un-called for Instagram blocking, along with some thoughts from Kristina on her own relationship with Steve and overall goals for the new year. We’re also getting therapy insights as Raeann vulnerably lets us in on her own journey. Therapy is no joke! Good thing there’s hilarious stories, sweet updates *like Christian’s projected height, and some really encouraging takeaways.  We really are so grateful for each of you and can’t wait to see you in January ‘24 with all new episodes, but until then, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!  What We Talk About: We’re getting some Golden Bachelor Gossip Is it “Gerry” or “Ga-ary”?

She’s dropping real dating-expertise, excel spreadsheets, some simple adjustments to your dating strategy and overall? - Just some confidence and chill we can all sit back and enjoy even if you're already cuffed! She’s giving us all some permission to be our most settled and authentic selves, to hide nothing on dates, and to find our own siren eyes … You’ll get it when you hear it.   But before we get into all that goodness, we’re first finding out what and *cough who* might be making Raeann a sports fan. In the end, Raeann and Kristina are entering their sports era and we are here for it! And then after announcing our Gift Bag Giveaway winner we obviously have to address the low-hanging garland in the room and #JusticeForSteve. What We Also Get Into:  Is Raeann going to be an Avalanche or Rangers fan?  Does Kristina live in Pleasantville or what!?  Is Jack Harlow Raeann’s new perfect celeb crush?  #JusticeForSteve and the low-hanging Christmas garland Announcing the Gift Bag Giveaway  Authentically going into dates What if a date doesn’t confirm day-of?  “Most men can't be trusted to plan … Like, realistically, you're just gonna be disappointed.

All of that aside, Kristina spent the first night at her new house and is filling us in on her favorite parts of the house, especially a shower and bathroom that sounds like a spa— heaven.    But the last half of this episode is devoted to YOUR questions and we’re tackling two great topics today: Old crushes in new environments and confidence in context to your friends.    What We Talk About:  Did Raeann go on that date or not?  “When in doubt, don’t send sexual selfies.” Golden Bachelorette Theories- Should it be Joan, Leslie, or Teresa?

Well our Confident Collective Friendsgiving was one for the books! We’re going to fill you in on our incredible night with awesome new friends, throbbing feet, a beautiful dinner, and we may even answer the age old question, “How many dirty martinis can Kristina order before the waiter tries to cut her off?” But before that, we’re catching you up on the day … which may or may not have included tears on New Jersey Transit, a euphoric cab ride, and a buccal massage— All before noon.    Raeann’s filling us in on the pre-Friendsgiving photo shoot drama and a pretty privilege joke that fell flat while also bringing us along for a Nightcap Adventure involving a pickle entrepreneur, raccoon eyes, and Lady and the Tramp. You’ll just have to listen to see what we mean! But the gist is that we had another wonderful night, just bringing women together, and we’re excited for much more.    And if you’re on board for some incredible goodies, you’ll not want to miss us going through our Holiday Gift Bag.

Finding an outfit you love and equally feel confident to rock at any party, get-together, or (in Kristina’s case) a gala, can be downright overwhelming. So we’re getting into it today! Before that though, we’re talking appropriate Christmas decorating times ... Someone may or may not already have a tree decorated and up in her house before her couch. Which, respect. Then getting into the meat of this ep, Kristina and Raeann are tackling an ongoing question and challenge for most of us— “How do you deal with dressing anxiety?”    The holidays mean prepping for all sorts of social functions, so why not eliminate future last-minute stress by sorting your fits now? Also, keep in mind that dressing up can be FUN; especially when you’re mixing textures, throwing in a feather here and there, for starters. Kristina and Raeann are giving solid advice and some practical ways to get ahead of all that potential holiday stress. We’re romancing our lives, remember? So let’s have some fun and feel good doing it together!   What We Talk About: Getting SO excited for Friendsgiving “tonight” When is the right time to start decorating for Christmas?

Navigating any food conversations with your person or potential partner can be tense and tricky. We each have a very different relationship with food but that doesn’t mean we can’t come to the conversation from a level place and not with a grenade-of-opinion in our hand. That’s why we’re so glad to have Rosie back with us to help answer a listener’s question about this very thing. The best part? We all heard the question a bit differently so you’re really going to get a variety in perspectives today!   We also get to hear about Raeann’s trip to Vegas, XS, eye-surgery update and a surprise Diplo show. This may or may not have subsequently led to an urgent care pit-stop on her way out of town to Paris. And don’t worry, we’re getting the details on what may be the perfect hookup, anddd some other possible vacation romances. Meanwhile, Kristina’s having a bit of a time getting settled after her big move and some disappointing school visits, lack-luster ferries, and a not-so-reliable babysitting situation. But she’s trusting the process! So gear up, we’ve got a great ep for you!    “Just like you don’t talk about your sex life in bed, don’t talk about your eating habits at the table.” -Raeann Langas   What We Talk About: Kristina has been exploring markets near her new neighborhood … But where’s best?  Rae catches us up on Vegas and Paris The struggle of reading signs - it’s just not that easy Rae’s *almost* regret on the eye surgery Kristina’s fulling stepping into her interior design era Answering the question, “How to accept your partner's eating habits and let them make their own food choices?” That time Steve tried to warn Kristina about the quesadilla  Answering the question, “Is there any room for input and commentary around food in a relationship?” Resources: Submit your question for the next Ask Away: Click Here Follow us on Instagram: @confidentcollective Follow the Hosts/Founders: @kristinazias & @raeannlangas Learn more: https://www.theconfidentcollective.com/ Thanks to Our Sponsors!

Today, I’m flying solo (Kristina here) because Raeann’s a bit under the weather. Vegas must’ve been a 👌🏼 time, right? But get excited because we’ve got a great Relationship Ask Away Ep for you … and trust me, these questions are GOOD. But before we get there, I want to process a bit and catch you up on my life.   It’s easy to question every decision we make, even when we know we’re making the right one. Hi, it's me. It’s also quite easy to be more anxious than excited when you’re in the middle of a big change. Also me. But accepting the change, settling into it, and owning it allows us to get truly excited. Or at least that’s what I’m learning. Let's get into it.    What I Talk About:  Moving/logistics/major life change anxiety … Amiright? Getting Our Keys and Saying Goodbye Limiting beliefs and how moving home can be wonderful Cross-country meatballs and the smell awaiting  Settling in and truly getting excited  Asking away about ...  Micromanaging Your Partner and Communicating How You Address Intimacy Shortcomings Hyping Up What You Love in the Bedroom Should You Have A Second Kid?  New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday!
