Summary
It's official... Remi is a published author! She takes us behind the scenes of her brand new cookbook—from years of recipe testing and creative burnout to building confidence in her true art form: cooking. We dive into the journey of turning passion into a project, plus the pressure (and payoff) of putting something so personal out into the world.
We also get real about creativity, social media burnout, and what it actually takes to stay inspired as a content creator. From influencer “bootcamps” to breaking out of your comfort zone. 💛
Remi’s cookbook, Let’s Get Cooking, is now available, get yours here:

| 0:00.0 | My cookbook is live. |
| 0:03.0 | If anyone has any to say online, I'm just going to reply to their TikToks being like, well, you probably suck at cooking. Well, here's a thing. Because they want the views. No. Alicia Marie. What? Put her back in. I want to become a content creator, but I don't know what to post. Help. I think post whatever the hell you want to post. Whatever interests you. How do you stay creative |
| 0:22.2 | with all the social media around? I feel like I've lost my creativity. Podcasting. It's in art form. |
| 0:27.7 | The art of storytelling. The art of yapping. Whatever art form you do, you should be obsessed with it. |
| 0:32.6 | I just really respect it out of people who always want to continue learning about their art. |
| 0:36.8 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:45.7 | Pretty Basic. |
| 0:49.5 | Hello, everyone. What's up and welcome back to Pretty Basic. My name is Alicia Marie. And my name is Remy Parsons. I'm just so curious how many people actually don't know who we are. Not that we're cool, but like, like coming to the podcast, I'm just so curious if there's any actual organic listeners who are just like, oh, I found this cool podcast. Just like, oh, on YouTube, they're watching. Yeah. I don't know, like the most beautiful. |
| 1:11.5 | Or like Spotify Apple. |
| 1:11.8 | Like they type in like most beautiful women in the world and then we pop up. |

| 1:18.2 | Yes. |

| 1:19.3 | And then they love the show. |
| 1:21.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:21.5 | Hi, welcome. |
| 1:22.5 | I just feel that way because every time we introduce ourselves. You know. I think it's technically April Fool's Day today, by the way. Oh my God, April Fool's. What's the best, like, April Fool's you've ever done to someone? I don't know if I've ever done one, to be honest. I feel like they get me more than I get to do it to people. Every year I fall for it. Every year, especially on Instagram. What's happened? Oh, like people posting. |
| 2:18.0 | Yeah, you know, there's always people being like blowout sale, then there's no sale. Or they're like, I'm engaged. And there's not engaged. Or they're like. I like when brands do like, like food brands do fake products. Yes. And they're always really good. And I'm like, where is this energy when it matters? They're like the audacity of the product is a little too obscure. Where it's like looking back in hindsight, you're like, oh, it's obviously fake. But they always get me. Yes. Like, oh my God, my favorite one was when one size had like condoms. Did you see it? It was like April full. One size fits all. Yeah. One size fits all. |
| 2:33.0 | And I was like, that's low key so smart. That's really, really good. And then they were like April fulls. I was like, oh, well, shit. I was like, take my money. Take my money. I always, every year. So future me, look out. Just stay off of social media. That's the thing. |
| 2:33.6 | On April first. |
| 2:35.7 | Yeah, we'll post this episode and then go away. Unless you're listening to those. |
