She opens up about landing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, getting let go from her first jobs at Bravo and Tidal, how her TikTok blew up overnight, and her honest, ongoing journey with binge eating, recovery, and weight loss surgery. Remi and Carl get real about navigating mental health in public, handling the internet's opinions, dating, and why the right people in your corner change everything.
