We’re feeling all sorts of chaotic and while it’s bad for our sanity, it’s good for the podcast! Catch up with us in this episode on how we’re feeling post NYFW. We’re sharing some crazy stories about what we’ve been dealing with behind the scenes, some inspo Kristina got from a recent wellness and entrepreneurship panel, and how it’s been for Raeann to dip her toes back in the dating pond. Then, we’re answering your questions about dealing with boyfriend mama drama, friends flaking on your wedding, not feeling the pressure to “snap back” after having a baby and how to get in the right mindset to find clothes that are comfortable, cute and affordable.   Stop placing value on an arbitrary number like the size of your jeans or like the size of your dress. That literally means nothing because it's so different in every single brand. This fashion week, I wore a size large. I wore a size 2X. I wore a size 12. I wore a size 18. Who the hell cares? It literally means nothing about your self worth. So if you need to go up in size, go up in size. - Kristina Zias   What We Talk About: A recent pregnancy scare  Kristina’s mom shaming experience What Rae’s spiraling about since NYFW Takeaways from the panel discussion with Mind Body Green and Ollie Wellness How Raeann is bringing energy to in-person dating right now Asking away about… How to navigate my boyfriend's mom not being supportive of our relationship How do you accept your size and begin to buy what fits you best, no matter the size?  How do I confront my friend about being disappointed she’s not coming to my wedding? How did you deal with inevitable changes in your body after having a baby, and resist the snapback culture for moms?   I try so many things that don't work to find things that fit, and then it becomes like a practice. - Raeann Langas    New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.   Resources: Submit your question for the next Ask Away: https://forms.gle/GnxafrPkP49UGZvE9 Follow us on Instagram: @confidentcollective  Follow the Hosts/Founders: @kristinazias & @raeannlangas Learn more: https://www.theconfidentcollective.com/ Stay in the know with our newsletter!    Thanks to our sponsors!
