Confident Collective

Today we sit down with Chelsea Blackwell to unveil what really went down during her time on Love is Blind, the Megan Fox debacle, and her dating life post Jimmy. Chelsea thought she didn’t say or do anything too crazy on the show that would bring unwanted attention, but little did she know that she would soon be roasted by America for saying Megan Fox is her celebrity doppelgänger. As she navigates this new life in the spotlight, she is handling the scrutiny with humor and grace while embracing exciting new opportunities with confidence. Chelsea gives her raw thoughts on the Love is Blind experiment, if she would do it again, and what really happens during a normal day in the pods. She opens up about her toxic relationship with Jimmy and the unexpected rollercoaster of emotions. As she reenters the dating scene, she is excited to see what happens and may even slide into some celebrity DMs. From being a jet-setting flight attendant to being a verified reality star, the world is truly your oyster and we cannot wait to see what’s next for you, Chelsea!   In other news, Raeann fills us in on her first vacation with Gabe! Other than Raeann ditching Gabe for TSA pre-check, it went swimmingly! Kristina and Raeann real talk about the dreaded bathroom sitch when traveling with your significant other. Are you a lobby bathroom or embrace the awkwardness type of person? Also, Raeann is still on the apartment hunt, apparently finding a place in NYC for under 10k/month is not an easy feat. And Kristina raves about her friend’s new movie, Musica, on Amazon. This is an episode you won’t want to miss, and if you haven’t seen Chelsea’s season of Love is Blind, we highlyyy recommend for a great binge-watch!

In today’s solo episode, we talk about growing up as the bigger friend and the universal experiences we went through as a result. But before we dive in, we have to fill you in on a few things. Big steps were taken as Gabe met Raeann’s parents for the first time! There might have been a little chaotic family energy but we realized every family has a little crazy in them. Speaking of, how often do you talk to your parents?? Kristina’s trip to elusive Sarasota finally left the group chat. We also chat about the financial pressure of over-the-top bachelorette parties and similarly, the slippery slope over birthday dinners when the check comes. And of course, in pop culture news, Nick Viall’s reality recap podcast enlightens us with a male perspective about constantly critiquing your partner and the debate over proactive couple’s therapy.   If you’ve ever felt the anxiety that comes with writing down your extra-large t-shirt size in a room full of size smalls, this is for you. Being the big girl in the friend group or growing up as the bigger girl, we have had to endure many experiences that take a hit to our self-esteem. The defeating experience of prom dress shopping, not being able to share clothes with friends, and the feeling that no boys like you, were just some of the fun things we had to go through as the bigger friend. Raeann and Kristina also open up about how their families affected their body confidence, both the good and the bad. As we work through our past traumas, we learn to change our mindset and how we should talk to ourselves. This change in mindset was largely due to the body-positive movement in the media and seeing others embrace self-love at any size. Hype yourself up and fake it till you make it because you ARE hot!  New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

Today we sit down with Lauren Chan, supermodel, Sports Illustrated rookie, and plus-size fashion designer (yes, she really does it all). Lauren is a prominent voice in the body-positive and self-love community and is truly redefining beauty standards across every avenue she ventures into. In our conversation, Lauren opens up about her trauma-driven pursuit of perfection, her self-discovery as a gay woman, and her inspiring journey post-divorce. We dive into her time as a Sports Illustrated rookie and how it is an incredible experience but it is also eye-opening to realize that every woman gets insulted for their own beauty standards and that there is no “perfect woman” in a man’s world. Lauren shares advice about how dressing for the female-gaze is the best thing you can do for your confidence and that you should curate your social media feeds with uplifting creators that make you feel inspired. From breaking beauty standards to navigating her passions, Lauren’s story shows us the importance of representation and to always stay true to yourself.   In other news, Raeann and Kristina launched Confidants yesterday!!

In this solo episode, we’re talking all about the craze behind Ozempic and of course, catching up with our girls. Kristina spills the tea about her bougie Aspen brand trip, meanwhile, Raeann had a much-needed low-key week. Kristina and Raeann chat about how drastically different their lives are now as Kristina talks about how special her first mother-son dance (aka rave) was. Raeann opens up about not feeling settled and her current existential crisis that she’s been trying to navigate. As for pop-culture references, we’re watching Summer House, binging The Traitors, and wondering where is Kate Middleton hiding! And we’re taking a poll — should Kristina be on The Real Housewives of New Jersey?   We’ve allll heard about it, seen ads for it, or know someone who’s on it. Yes, we’re talking about Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide. While some are tempted by its promises of thinness and a lack of food noise, others raise concerns about its long-term effects and the added societal pressure to conform to a narrow beauty ideal. We have made monumental strides forward as a society in the body-positive movement but overnight we’ve taken steps backward. Raeann mentions her fashion collaborations have dropped due to their lack of larger sizes available. A woman’s Roman Empire is their body and weight, so when praising and parading around this ideal that thinness is only a few injections away, this may have a negative effect on people in larger bodies and promote a negative stigma. There are so many sides and things to take into account with these drugs so by no means are we judging you if you are on them. Amidst this weight loss trend, we hope there’s a refocus on what really matters which is feeling and being healthy, nourishing your body, and loving the body you’re in, instead of constantly chasing a thinner body.   New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

Raeann confesses her love for buffalo sauce, Kristina shares stories about her nanny, and the girls find agreement on ending friendships if they associate with disrespectful men. Also, does Kelly Clarkson know she’s the face of weight loss pills that are targeting old parents?!    As spring is just around the corner, we can’t WAIT to stash the puffers away until next winter. We analyze the hottest spring trends from dressy shorts to feminine rosettes. There is a slight departure from the long-time standing clean girl aesthetic, as we are seeing boxer shorts, funky glasses, and cheetah-print pants. Now, Raeann and Kristina are in debate about balloon jeans and mesh shoes, but it might just be all in how you style them. We dive into micro-trends and our current go-to fashion brands.

We’ve all binged or heard about @ReesaTeesa and her 50-part TikTok series about her pathological liar husband, right? Well, let us introduce you to Raeann’s sister, Tory Langas, who’s about to open up about her 5-year relationship with a man who ended up being a sex addict and narcissist. The red flags started early on in their relationship when he lied about his age (hello, 16-year age gap), but was overlooked because of their love and pull towards one another. But the red flags kept piling up from fighting with family members to going to Vegas with his “ex” to not being able to hold down a job.🚨 His narcissistic tactics kept Tory on her toes to please him which ends in a huge hit to her self-esteem. After his lackluster proposal, enter Tinder girl and Tory’s new therapist. They opened her eyes, shattered the illusions, and made her start to trust her intuition because window shopping on Tinder is NOT okay.🤯 Amid deception and heartbreak, Tory stood up for herself and left the toxic relationship and we are SO happy for her and her new lovely life!!🤍 The takeaway is not to fall in love with the potential of someone and always trust your gut, ladies.    On a lighter note, Raeann and Kristina also fill us in on their tropical humid-filled vacations.🌴Raeann vents about her flight chaos and Kristina shares how Steve booked their Miami trip and the hiccups that entailed. Also, if Natural Cycles said you’ll be on a trip during your period would you move it?? Raeann did just that, but we know the swim content is going to be fire! This pod is full of twists and turns so buckle in and get ready for Tory to spill the tea.   New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

In this Ask Away episode, love, dating, and relationships take center stage. But before we dive into your burning questions, did you know Raeann was in musical theater?! Apparently, Raeann and Mr. Jersey even break out into show tunes together which we love. Speaking of things we love, Kristina has been obsessing over love languages which also sparks the debate if returning gifts from a loved one is tacky or not. Rae and Kristina also chat about the planning it takes to get ready as a girl, the elaborate lies they told to impress boys in high school, and the fact that they have quite different dating philosophies.  As we explore the intricacies of relationships through YOUR Ask Away questions, the ladies give their raw and juicy advice to help with your love life dilemmas. We tackle wedding planning drama and the controversial topic of tray-passed hors d’oeuvres to comparing yourself to your partner’s ex to getting your partner to be more intentional. Then we spice things up by talking about the dynamics of watching porn in a relationship, emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations and the allure of a 10/10 storyline, such as the art of baking bread. 🔥 Throughout the episode, Raeann and Kristina emphasize the importance of body confidence and self-love, encouraging deep talks, shared experiences, and maybe some ethical porn. As our Month of Love concludes, we hope you find self-love, embrace one another’s love languages, and spice things up in the bedroom. xoxo Raeann & Kristina 💕 New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

On week two of our Month of Love series, we’re talking about the inner struggles that come along with never having been in a relationship.

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 still recovering from our wonderful Friendsgiving Dinner and can’t wait to announce the winner of a free Goodie Bag, so make sure to subscribe to our stories so you don’t miss the announcement!  Now, we know you’re all dying to hear whether or not Raeann went out on THAT date we talked about last week … Well, let’s just say there was a shirtless selfie and some bad communication, do you think that was a dealbreaker for Raeann and would it be one for you?    Next we’re moving on to some Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette Theories, of which there are a few … Is it going to be Leslie or Teresa and WHO is right for the first Golden Bachelorette? 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? Kristina’s first night in her new house A shower, some built-ins, and some waterfront light that make all the difference What do you do when the past co-worker you fell for shows up at your new job?  How do you feel confident in your skin when your friends are seemingly approached more than you? Someone else’s beauty doesn’t take away from your own. –Raeann Langas New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

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. We’ve got everything from Rose Inc. Eyelash Curlers to Kérastase and Orbe products, to Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches and some wonderful Maybelline treats. The point is, you don’t want to miss a second!    What We Talk About: A crying commute, a lot of excitement, and some frazzled bag stuffing Sometimes things just don’t go as planned Kristina had a buccal massage that Raeann missed in the same room Why do pictures on film just look better?  Pretty privilege and when jokes miss Possibly one of the best nights ever?  Kristina tells a story about carrying a 15lb. chair around her neck via a scarf Why does everyone think Raeann and Kristina are siblings?  Going through the gift bag New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.
