While Kristina and family have had a blast while traveling in the Greek Islands, it\\u2019s not all chill beach hangs and aperol spritzes when you have a toddler. Kristina is surrounded by her childhood friends and family who now also have kids, and she\\u2019s realizing the importance of having friends who can relate to what you\\u2019re going through (especially re: parenting). We talk about having different types of friendships in different seasons and the importance of them all. We also share our maybe unpopular opinions about whether or not you should make amends with an ex, and what happened when Raeann reconnected with an ex before her European travels this summer.

\\u201cI\\u2019ve realized how I\\u2019ve felt really alone at points throughout this past year.\\u201d - Kristina

What we talk about:

  • The start of Leo season/Raeann\\u2019s birthday month

  • Trying to be more present

  • Kristina\\u2019s son Nikolas\\u2019 evolution during this trip

  • Kristina\\u2019s lost luggage

  • A designer purchase FLOP

  • Toe hair

  • Men in flip flops: does it give you the ick?

  • Reality TV and the toll public opinion (via social media) takes on cast members\\u2019 mental health

  • Getting back with an ex: is it a good idea?

\\u201cI saw my ex before my trip. We did make amends, but it was one of the hardest things I\\u2019ve ever done.\\u201d - Raeann
