We are excited to finally catch you up on everything that’s been going on in our lives over the past couple of months!! We also share all the exciting details of our Los Angeles pool party happening on June 17th, what to expect if you’re coming and some outfit recipe ideas to help you feel so confident in a swimsuit. Finally, if you’ve been feeling the “change for summer” pressure or trends on social media, we’re here with an important reminder to do you and don’t buy into this mentality.

“You don't need to change everything about yourself before summer. Just keep doing you and live your life. You don't need to change your body for summer. Don't get caught up in this trap of having to do a complete 180 of your life before June.” - Raeann Langas

What We Talk About:

  • All the pool party details!!

  • Our 3 words for our personal styles

  • Obsessing over Vanderpump Rules & Taylor Swift

  • Life updates from the last couple of months

  • Raeann’s NYC summer bucket list

  • Krisitna’s house hunting experience & wish list

  • Pool party outfit recipe ideas

“When it comes to swimsuits, you need two different ones; one that you just automatically feel confident in the second you put on it, and the other one is one that you feel great in, but you could also move around more in. Maybe it's a little bit more supportive, maybe it has a little bit more coverage.” - Kristina Zias

New podcast episodes of Confident Collective drop every Tuesday.

129. Mental Health Check In: Why We're Putting The Podcast On Pause

The burnout is real, you guys. Both Raeann and Kristina have been going through a lot this year; having a baby and moving to a new city. They have recently recognized that maintaining their current workload is causing them to neglect their mental health. We believe in listening to your gut and that it is important to take time to rest, so, we’re taking a break from the podcast for the next couple of months to recharge. We hope you understand that it was a really hard but necessary decision, and we’ll be back with a new episode on June 6th!

“It's the manifesting generator in me that feels like I can do everything, I have so much energy, I can do it all. And I feel like I have been doing it all, but at a cost. I feel like at that cost was my sanity. I think I need a moment to like really slow down and be present - Kristina Zias

“When I am just going, going, going, that is not in alignment with how I best function and how I feel the most inspired and most creative. Also we're in an interesting job where we are our job and I'm so thankful for that, but at the same time, I feel like between TikTok, Instagram, and the podcast, I have nothing left to give”  - Raeann Langas
