Grownkid

if your friend brought a greek yogurt bowl to the movies, would you think they're smart or depriving themselves? this episode was inspired by a viral tiktok of a couple doing just that and the internet went crazy. in this episode we talk about diet trends, the line between self care and over restriction, and body image. now, it seems like food is a statement everyone is reading into. follow us: @g...

the new buzzword everyone seems to be talking about is “community.” and though we keep hearing about the importance of community and how we have to create it, nobody really talks about what it actually is. is it friendship? is it a support system? a social circle? though the line of friendship and community blur, in this episode, we talk about how we differentiate the two, the steps we’ve taken to...

it's been a few weeks since we settled into new york and we're here to answer the big question everyone asks... does moving solve all your problems? and the short answer is: it solves some and creates others. so we reflect on how the move has felt so far, the problems it’s helped us leave behind, and the new challenges we’ve been facing. follow us: @grownkld @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our socia...
