Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 6 MIN.
With an Instagram bio that simply says "Your loyal bestie," you'd expect influencer Joey Zauzig's online presence to be wonderfully supportive, endlessly encouraging, incredibly cool, and completely in tune with both your ambitions and exactly how your toxic ex is holding you back from achieving them. Your loyal bestie is the person who offers genuine compliments on days when you feel like a mess, the one you can rely on to remind you that you deserve so much better because you're super hot, super smart, and deserve to be truly, deeply happy.
And every one of these expectations is true of Zauzig's Instagram account.
In between his recipes for "skinty" snacks that are delicious but lower in calorie intake or a little healthier than the typical indulgent version, and his passion for a "shrimp cocky" every now and then, this gorgeous man never fails to hype us up and keep us going.
Whether you're going through a tough breakup, need a reminder of your self-worth and why you should never settle for less than what you deserve, or you just need a reason to smile today, Zauzig has a video for you. He's got strong words about moving on from the boyfriend who cheated, and tips for remembering that it's good you're free of the toxic friendship that made you feel insecure. These videos can serve as important reminders, a fun pep talk to send your best friend in the middle of the afternoon, or a mantra to keep on repeat when you're overthinking and feeling low after dinner at home alone without your ex.
Let's begin with Joey Zauzig's proclamation of the only acceptable vibe for 2025, and every year going forward: "If it's not giving you an orgasm, inspiration, or income, it does not belong in your life." Exactly! Know your worth!
It's very important that Zauzig is shirtless in his car in this video, the sunlight making him glow like an angel sent down to deliver us this message that everything is gonna be okay. "You're gonna find someone ten times hotter, twenty times nicer, with a few extra inches for you to enjoy, so stop stressing! Life is too short! Now get out of bed, let's get some Taco Bell!"
"If no one told you this today, you're beautiful, you're hot, you're sexy." What a powerful message to receive while in pajamas on the couch, or feeling exhausted on your way to get desperately needed coffee, or scrolling a timeline full of hot, perfectly put together people that make you feel insecure. Thank you for your service, Joey Zauzig! He goes on to encourage us to keep up a healthy perspective, telling ourselves that better days are ahead.
"You are beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're amazing, everything is gonna be okay." This is the kind of mantra you can open up and listen to every morning. If you need this energy to hype you up and get out of bed on a difficult day, Joey Zauzig has got you sorted!
It's the pause and direct eye-contact into the camera after he says "bigger" for us! Joey is absolutely right with this one. There is someone bigger and better out there for you. "Stop letting these ugly a** boys ruin your life. Drop 'em!"
Zauzig is undoubtedly king of fun, supportive friendship – but he's also dropping unforgettable gems of wisdom! "Baby, if you were thirsty, you wouldn't drink poison" as a reason not to reconnect with toxic people just because you're lonely??? That's gold, mama! That needs to go up on the wall like a 'live, love, laugh' sign that will save you years of heartbreak and wasted energy.
We all need this reminder at some stage of our lives, whether in a romantic situation, a friendship, or a job that's killing your soul: "There's somebody out there that's gonna treat you the way you deserve to be treated, I promise you that. Please give yourself a chance." Isn't that all we ever want for ourselves and our friends? Reach out and take every opportunity that can lead you towards a life that feels truly healthy and happy. No one should be struggling the way you were with your ex! And Joey's right, they aren't gonna change. They will continue treating you like this. Set your past self free to follow a path that leads to something wonderful. Give her a chance!
This celebratory post is great inspiration and a symbol of hope to hold onto. Why waste energy on fueling revenge or being weighed down by regret when we could focus on how good our life gets once we're free of that heavy, painful, toxic burden that is an ex boyfriend or a diabolical boss, or a friend who was sucking all of the joy out of your life. Let Joey's post-breakup joy be a guiding force for the direction in which our lives are headed!
Framing a breakup as "They lost you, you did not lose them!" is kinda life changing. "They did you a favor in the end. We're gonna use that to our advantage and we're gonna go out in the world and we're gonna be everything, because you are everything!" The Zauzig hype never stops; he's the energetic push you need to remember that you are That Girl. He continues: "Don't let any rinky dink steal your shine, b*tch. You've come too far, you've done too much, you have too much to offer the world!" And in classic Zauzig style, he combines a casual "Now let's go get some Taco Bell!" with a firm reminder: "I love you. Period!" to end this video.
Stay strong out there, and stay tuned to his profile for new snack updates and affirmations. That said, remember: Though wise and blessed with the gift of inspiration, Joey Zauzig is also just a guy. Your bestie gets into messy situationships, too, and they're not always gonna follow their own advice. We've gotta be patient with each other, and make sure we give all the support right back to them. That's what friends are for!
