Welcome back to part two of Krista’s conversation with Tinx, a lifestyle creator, advice expert, podcast host and author of The Shift: Change your Perspective, Not Yourself. In this episode, Krista and Tinx talk about what it means to date in today’s day and age.  The true meaning of a relationship isn’t to get married, but to go on a self-discovery journey. As Tinx puts it, “To get your heart broken is to live.” Plus, the two share a vulnerable conversation on their struggles with body image, why they feel like the topic is taboo, and a new approach the collective should consider when thinking about food + self-image.  We also talk about: Purgatory vs. the breakup  Heartbreak antibodies Generational differences on dating What is the box theory Scarcity mindset in relationships Trolls on the internet  Tinx’s body image journey  The media, diet culture + fads  Resources:  The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself is available now at www.theshift-book.com Instagram: @tinx  TikTok: @tinx Sponsors: Botanic Tonics | Use code ALMOST30 for $40 off your first purchase.  JS Health | Go to us.jshealthvitamins.com/a30 and use code ALMOST30 at checkout for 20% off your purchase.
