While in a goofy, silly mood, Valeria and Vita cover navigating friendships and the pitfalls of gossiping to the pressures of achieving Russian beauty standards. They delve into their personal horror stories in the modelling industry, the impact of their Eastern European backgrounds on their careers, and positive life realizations in their 30s. Through humor and introspection, Valeria and Vita also explore the culture of oversharing, the evolving views on self-improvement, the importance of staying true to oneself, and the comeback of American patriotism.
