This week on Get The Gist, weβre joined by Demi Santana Brown Fitness Babe & Love Is Blind star and letβs just sayβ¦ she brought the energy AND the honesty π π₯
We kick things off chatting life abroad (UK vs Malta πβοΈ) before getting into Demiβs world from football roots to becoming a full-on βGunna Runnaβ πββοΈπ¨ We talk committing to fitness, posting online, and what it really takes to hit big goals (including a mini marathon in under 2 hoursβ¦ casual ππ₯).
We get into marathon tips (size UP your runners pls), why running shoes arenβt always the vibe, and the importance of giving back and staying grounded π
π¨ One Good, One Bad is BACK π¨
From keratin treatments and Egypt trips to no-gym struggles β chaos as always π
The chat deepens as we talk comparison, life pressures, and faith navigating your own beliefs, questioning traditions, and finding what feels right for YOU πβ¨
A really powerful moment as Demi opens up about living with endometriosis the good, the bad & the unseen struggles. If you needed a reminder youβre not alone, this is it π
Of course, we get into Love Is Blind π what itβs really like behind the scenes, the emotional rollercoaster, and her biggest advice: just be yourself π₯
We wrap things up with tomboy vs princess energy, pregnancy chats, and a chaotic GIST CHECK quiz (football, marathons & Arsenal π β½π₯)
Itβs giving laughs, honesty & real conversations β donβt miss this one π§π
