Summary

Alexa Jay is a confident curve model who radiates self-love, but she’s had to overcome a lot to get to this place. Today Vic and Alexa are getting real about body image, mental health and the grief process. Alexa shares how she rebuilt her confidence and self-worth after a toxic, abusive relationship in college, which led to an eating disorder. Vic and Alexa relate on so many things; from being athletes feeling pressured to look a certain way, to the unhealthy patterns diet culture perpetuates – and how far they’ve come in their journeys back to self love. They also talk about Alexa’s recent loss and the lessons grief teaches us about ourselves and what’s really important. No girl chat has ever gone deeper! Tune in to feel the power of girlhood, understand where true confidence comes from and reignite your own self-love.
