As die-hard fans of Kpop girl and boy groups, there are times we dream of becoming just like them. However, the road to success as a Kpop idol is not easy, nor is it fun. Kris and Katie discuss the blind side of the Kpop training industry, and talk about the difficulties trainees face everyday, such as dieting, competition, and making sacrifices. Tune in to find out what the Kpop trainee life is like, from the start of the timeline to the end. 

In this week's episode, Kris and Katie dive into relationships, of course talking about both friendships and boys. We talk about what makes a toxic friendship as well as share our experiences with these types of relationships too. As we go over the different types of relationships, we also talk about what makes one healthy, and give tips on how to maintain a socially healthy and happy bond with other people.     

Spooky Season is here! Everyone has something they are afraid of whether it is physical or mental. Kris and Katie discuss their physical fears like spiders, darkness, and anything that gives them a jump. They also go deep into mental fears; the fear of losing someone, rejection, and fear of the unknown. Kris and Katie bring out their deepest fears and share spooky stories to pump up the Halloween spirit. 

Almost all girls with periods face this--period pain. Whether it be cramps or mood swings, we are definitely not the most fun people to be around during that time of the month. Kris and Katie talk about their experiences with their period, from the first day they got it to how they changed their lifestyle ever since (including LOTS of period horror stories). This episode is open to everyone (even those who don't have periods!) since it also covers how others should act around a girl on her period (hint to the men out there).

As high schoolers, we inevitably end up thinking about what college we want to go to, and who we want to become. But there are some huge challenges that come with college decisions--we are oftentimes pressured by our surroundings, and become confused and feel very alone. Kris and Katie talk about what it feels like first hand, and the different types of pressure they feel from peers and parents. Remember: you are never alone with the problems you face! 

In this episode, Kris and Katie dive deep on their stress related stories and how they overcame it. They discuss the stressful encounters from moving schools to money to toxic friendships. Everyone deals with stress, so Kris and Katie know that others can relate to some of these problems too. Sharing our stories help release one less problem from our minds.

Everyone struggles with body confidence, and it is extremely hard to stop judging ourselves with others. In this episode, Kris and Katie share their thoughts and experiences from comparing ourselves, body insecurities, dieting, and everything to relate to!
