168: The Ozempic Effect: Unpacking Society’s Obsession with Thinness and the Body Positivity Backlash

Ozempic — the good, the bad, and the societal pressures

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 we are 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.

As spring is approaching, Raeann is wearing the shade Cherry more and more.

166: Who TF Did Tory Almost Marry: Red Flags, Gaslighting & Sex Addiction

Long Story Short: He Lied About His age

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 her trust, 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.

Raeann has been loving these mixed metal earrings. They go with everything!
