(VIDEO PODCAST AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE) This week, Alix and Ashtin sit down to talk about the “gray areas” of hooking up. They discuss reasons girls give consent when they don’t actually want to— including insecurity, validation, fear, and more. They even share personal stories on the topic and discuss ways they could have handled these situations better. The two offer advice to their female listeners and encourage them to always stand up for themselves. Follow and connect with all things @HotMess across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.   Learn more about your ad choices.
