Boujee Best Friend with Koko Kornelija Slunjski

Today, we're diving into something a bit personal: the truth about your twenties.

So here’s the deal—everyone says these years are supposed to be the best of your life, but let’s be honest, they can be pretty tough. I’m sharing everything from my wild birthday parties to those deep, nostalgic moments where I look back and think, “What was I even doing?”

We’ve all been there, right? Dating mistakes, money problems, and just trying way too hard to fit in. I’ll talk about the times I felt lost, the pressures to always please others, and why it’s okay to just be yourself.

If you’re feeling like you’re just muddling through these years, you’re not alone. So grab your headphones, and let’s get into it.

EP84: Like most BFFs right now, my friend Lisa and are getting down and dirty discussing the most recent season of Love is Blind. We're sipping wine to get the convo flowing, and we're ready to unpack all the unhinged behavior from this season.

Let me give you a sneak peek of our unfiltered opinions: Trevor is just seeking fame and attention, Chelsea is not exactly a Megan Fox lookalike (no offense), Johnny seems to be clueless about protection (but we hope he figures it out for Amy's sake), Sarah Ann and Jeremy are the worst, and someone needs to check on Matthew (although AD might be doing that post-show). As for Clay, he's either a weak man or a work in progress (but he needs to step it up). 

We have a lot more to say and trust me, you don't want to miss it. Our final question is for all of you: Is love blind? Grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we laugh, vent, and spill all the tea on Love is Blind. It's a wild ride, and we're here for it.

Episode highlights…
Would you do reality TV just to get famous?
Jimmy’s disappointment with Chelsea
Breaking down Jimmy’s lack of contraceptive knowledge 
Why we are huge fans of Jessica
Sarah Ann’s and her problematic behavior 
Brittany and Kenneth are boring 
Unpacking Matthew 
AD dating Matthew after the show
Weak men and men in progress (We are talking about you, Clay)
Is love really blind?

EP83: At the start of this year, my goal was to slow down and focus on self-care. But, in Koko fashion, I found chasing perfection and loading up on tasks left and right.

EP82: This week, we're diving deep into the world of female friendships, but we're taking it a step further than just "Girl Code." We're exploring the importance of respecting yourself and your relationships.

I personally believe in holding myself and those around me to a very high standard. I would rather have very close friendships or none at all. I mean, what's the point of giving so much of yourself to others if you're not getting anything in return? 

Ladies, it is time we stop wasting our energy on less than relationships. This episode is all about respecting yourself, setting high standards, and building connections that enrich your life. So, grab your pen and paper as I share 22 girl code rules to live by. Oh, and if you only leave this episode with one piece of advice… PLEASE don’t be the friend that “ex-hops.” It’s not cute. XOXO let’s go :)

Episode highlights:
NEVER sleep with your best friend’s ex
Going out rules in girlhood 
Never leave a girl behind at the bar 
Successful people don’t go out past 3 am
Be a better plus one at events 
Tell your girlfriends if they have a wardrobe malfunction
How to post photos of your friends 
CARE if your friend lives or dies 
Hype up your friends at all times

EP81: Welcome back my soon-to-be social butterflies! I'm so excited about this episode where I am sharing my pro tips to help you stand out in any social scene. When I say "social scene," I mean any environment you find yourself in—whether it's at work, out with friends, networking events, or any other social situation where you want to shine.  

One of my strong suits in life is my ability to connect with people. I thrive in any setting because I understand how to build connections, leave a positive impression, and make genuine relationships. I was not always this great at connecting with people. However, after using these tips, I built the confidence I needed to dominate any social scene.  



Whether you're aiming to snag an invite, expand your professional network, or simply become everyone's favorite person, this episode is made for you. Let’s go :) 



Episode Highlights:

Networking

How to make people like you 

How to be the person who gets invited to every event 

Creating positive vibes 

Start remembering people’s names 

Just. Be. Nice.
