society shapes how we see ourselvesāwhether itās beauty standards or the pressure to fit in. but as we get older, something shifts. we start questioning what actually matters to us versus what weāve been conditioned to believe. in this episode, we unpack how societal expectations influence self-perception, why we care so much about external validation in our early years,
whilst also exploring why itās so important to love and accept yourself right now instead of looking back with regret.

in this solo episode, i share some honest thoughts on my struggles recently to make meaningful friendships and I unpack the psychology behind our craving for a built-in social circle, why adulthood makes friendships feel so much harder, and what we can actually do to cultivate real connection!
I also give you a little life update (spoiler: the parents meeting each other wasnāt the disaster my overthinking brain imagined) and share my thoughts on Binding 13 and Keeping 13!

warning: this basically was a facetime call that you joined in on - we absolutely went on a ramble on this one!
is it even possible to be authentic on online, or does everything end up curated by default? we feel so authentic on the podcast, but when it comes to posting our lives online, capturing that same raw authenticity feels 1000 time harder!
join us as we chat through the pressure of perfection, the 'performative' nature of social media, and navigating the balance between 'real' and 'curated'.

Trigger Warning: In this episode, we discuss body image, body dysmorphia, and the emotional impact of societal expectations on self-esteem. If youāre sensitive to topics surrounding weight, appearance, or eating disorders, please listen with caution.
In part 2, we dive deep into the complex world of body image, exploring the impact of societal pressures, social media, and sports culture on how we see ourselves. Can we ever truly heal from body image struggles, or is it a something weāre always navigating?
We discuss the role parents play in shaping our self-perception and how they can do more to help young people develop healthier relationships with their bodies. We also reflect on what we wish we could take back from our past selves and the changes we want to make moving forward. From shifting our perspectives to removing ourselves from triggering environments, we explore actionable steps toward healing. We tackle difficult questions like: Do we have body dysmorphia, and why is it so normalized? How do we handle those moments when we absolutely hate how we look in a photo or video? Plus, we touch on the unique pressures of body image in sports, where appearance and performance often collide.
Join us for this honest and thought-provoking conversation about body image, healing, and finding self-acceptance.
