Welcome back to stuff my sister says! This week we talk about confidence and what that means to us. We share how the definition of confidence changed over the years and what that journey looked like. Kiana talks about how social media has changed her perspective on herself and the content that she produces. Kritzia then reflects on how she started with social media and how she’s arrived at a place where she realized that she is enough. Before that we talk about stuff on our mind where we dive into the “Chicken Wars” and NYC's new vaccine passport requirements for indoor activities such as dining and going to the gym.  As always we end the episode with what we want you to think about. Listen if you want to know about our confidence journeys and  what we have learned over the years along with the fun sisterly banter in between!
