About this episode

Trigger Warning: This content discusses weight loss, depression, and body dysmorphia, which may be sensitive for some individuals. Please prioritize your well-being and listen with care. 💛


Spring has sprung, depression is over, and the sun is shining—so of course, Remi is joined by her bestie Oli for a deep and hilariously entertaining catch-up and Q&A. We dive into everything from Oli’s seasonal depression and his journey with anxiety meds (hello, 25-pound weight gain) to our worst influencer interactions and the misconceptions about our friendship. Plus, we spill on our work relationship, best friend trios, conflict and jealousy. And of course, some behind-the-scenes of miss Alisha Marie and Heath’s epic surprise party!
