This week, Remi’s going solo and getting real about everything she’s been navigating lately — from where she’s at mentally to how she handles negative comments now versus back in the day. She opens up about her ongoing hormonal journey, gives an update from her latest doctor visit (where she got an ultrasound to actually see what’s going on), and breaks down what PCOS really looks like behind the scenes — physically, emotionally, and hormonally.Remi also shares what a pregnancy plan looks like when you have PCOS, what she needs to prep for, her thoughts on when she wants to have babies, and whether she’s still on a GLP-1. Plus, she gets candid about the frustrations of being a woman and how she’s learning to navigate influencer drama and friendship breakups without breeding negativity.It’s honest, raw, and so Remi — you won’t want to miss it.Preorder Remi’s Cookbook, Let’s Get Cooking, by clicking here!

What Really Happened In The Midwest
Straight from New York City, Remi and Cal are catching you up on their recent travels — from their Midwest adventures in Wisconsin (yes, there were cheese curds involved) to the whirlwind reason they’re in NYC right now and their upcoming Honeymoon! It was a Midwest wedding weekend that had it all — think: beer you can only get in Wisconsin, a venue fiasco straight out of a rom-com, and yes… a missing wedding gift. After all, you can take the guy out of Wisconsin, but you can’t take Wisconsin out of the guy!They chat about Cal’s upcoming color analysis in Korea (place your bets on his color palette in the comments 👀), his signature “pink-ness,” and what it’s really like being part of a bridal party when it’s family — versus just being a guest. Plus, Remi opens up about scheduling “chill time” on their honeymoon, loving a fully booked calendar, and what she’s hooked on now that she’s finished Scandal.Sponsors: COLUMBIA: Head to Columbia.com to get your hands on an Amaze Puff jacket — they’retough on cold, soft on you.CASAMIGOS: Hosting your next watch party?
