Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

Alisha’s Most Embarrassing Moment With a Guy…Q&A

Pretty Basic with Alisha Marie and Remi Cruz

Show Notes

This week on Pretty Basic… Alisha just got her extensions moved up and is officially feeling like a brand new woman. Naturally, that confidence led to a very Valentine’s Day-coded moment… when she may or may not have reached out to an ex. 👀 Remi reminds her of the golden rule: if he wanted to, he would — and the girls unpack what it really means to let the men come to you. We’re also doing our first Q&A in the new set, and let’s just say the answers feel … a little more mauve. We talk about everything from feeling dry and romantically empty, to trusting yourself and showing up for yourself even when things feel uncertain. Plus we get into our current hyperfixations, the biggest mistakes we’ve made in our careers, career change advice, Remi’s secret move 👀, learning how to be okay with not being a workaholic + much more! Basically… we’re evolving, we’re reflecting, and we’re doing it all with a fresh set of extensions and a lot of honest conversations. 💜
