Peeing in an Elevator, France Escapades, Life Epiphanies

There’s nothing more humbling than accidentally peeing yourself in an elevator. Whether it was from having too much fun laughing with a friend or potentially getting drugged at a French pizza place, we don’t really know. You have to hear these stories from Raeann’s time in France and weigh in! She talks about which French hot spot is overrated, where to go instead and the epiphany she had while getting a psychic reading in London. Meanwhile, Kristina shares an epiphany of her own, and a Tik Tok video calling out our parent’s generation’s weird relationship with food reminds us of unhealthy norms that influenced us growing up.

“If you ever have the opportunity to do something different, take it.” - Kristina

What we talk about:

  • Everyone NEEDS to study abroad

  • Kristina comes clean on a lie she told Rae in a past episode

  • Why Kristina thinks she may have ADHD 

  • Why Raeann thinks she could’ve been drugged in France

  • Ask away: what to do when you want to be supportive but dislike the guy (with all the red flags) your friend is with 

“That’s what I’m obsessing over: not letting what I should be doing or what society says is normal dictate how I live my life.” - Raeann
