THE INTERVIEW Today we are so excited to sit down with our good friend Kelly LeVeque, holistic nutritionist extraordinaire, to chat about her new book Body Love Every Day.

Kelly opens up about her birth story and all the challenges she and her family had to overcome through her pregnancy and delivery.

THE INTERVIEW Today we are joined by the founder and CEO of Tress for Us and host of Girl We Got This podcast, Laticia Rolle! We can’t express enough admiration for Laticia. She is the definition of a true friend with her unwavering support and love. Growing up in a large family and as an athlete for most of her life, Laticia’s life has always revolved around creating sisterhood and meaningful relationships—which is a central part of today’s conversation. Laticia vulnerably shares her experience with her parent’s divorce, toxic relationships, and cheating. We talk about the lows that come from heartbreak, the comparison game, and the incessant checking of the other girl’s Instagram. We explore the reasons women don’t leave cheaters, and Laticia explains why she finally ended her toxic relationship. She expresses the importance of asking for help, especially when you start over. We ask how Laticia began fostering her authentic self, particularly after being surrounded by high-profile individuals and extreme wealth, which influenced who she ‘had’ to be. A huge takeaway from our conversation is how we need to stop comparing ourselves to other women, and begin owning the beauty and uniqueness that is YOU. We also talk about: Why Laticia loves modeling Defining loyalty after toxic relationships Gas-lighting Women’s intuition Laticia’s inner dialogue while being cheated on Fighting for yourself and choosing yourself The role guilt plays in women’s lives Having a girl squad when you’re a kid What Laticia is proud of right now Being patient and present to your life Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
