This week’s episode is one of the most honest and empowering conversations yet! I’m chatting with my amiga Jessica Battle about all things body image—no filters, no fake positivity, just the truth. We open up about growing up surrounded by toxic diet culture, the pressure to shrink ourselves for the world, and all those heavy emotions so many of us have faced with food, our bodies, and our sense of worth. Jess shares her journey of building trust with herself, and redefining what true wellness and self-love look like beyond the number on a scale. Jess gets super real about divorce, rediscovering who you are, and building a business through it all. Plus, we swap stories about relationships, love languages, and why it’s okay to want that “forever person.” If you’ve ever struggled to love your body, wondered how to set healthy boundaries, or just need a reminder that you are so much more than your appearance this episode is for you! Tune in and let’s heal together, chismosas!

Whewwww chismosas, where do we even start with this season of "Selling Sunset"? The drama was INSANE! From Chrishell and Nicole going at it (again), with both of them just taking the low blows to a whole new level. Like, can y’all just agree to never speak again and call it a day? Chelsea tried to be nice and send Mary some flowers after she got robbed, and instead of just saying thanks, Mary (with some help from Bri’s energy) turned it into a whole thing. Girl, just take the flowers!

Then there was the Galentine’s party, more awkward run-ins, people acting like seeing a name card was the end of the world… ay dios mio que dramatica! Friendships are basically on life support after this—like, Chrishell and Emma can barely even look at each other, and Chelsea is just over everybody’s drama. The reunion? Pure chaos, with everyone yelling, people storming off, and nobody really solving a damn thing.

Honestly, this season is all about people being messy, setting way overdue boundaries, and the OG friendships totally falling apart. It was a hot mess, but you know we were living for every minute of it!
