Join Hailey in the first episode of SEASON 2 (!!) as she sits down with her friend Gigi Romano, a recent graduate of Florida State University and founder of clothing brand, I Love You More (ILYM). Although Hailey and Gigi's lives may look perfect from the outside in, we're diving deep about how life is so much more than our Instagram feeds and external appearances. College was a game-changer for Gigi--filled with lots of lessons on self-worth, personal growth, and how to bounce back from rock bottoms. Most importantly, the girls are here to say that everyone has struggled, and instead of being ashamed and trying to hide our imperfections, we need to normalize conversations around mental health, authenticity, and how we're REALLY feeling.
Check back next week for PART 2, where Gigi shares about the messaging of ILYM, starting a clothing brand in college, creating her own designs, and her passions for mental health & fashion.
