In this episode, I dive into the complicated world of modern beauty standards — the pressure to look a certain way, the rise of cosmetic procedures, and the quiet internal battles so many women in their 20s and 30s are carrying alone.

I’m opening up about my own reflections, the moments I’ve questioned my appearance, and the conversations I’ve had with friends, sisters, and my community about “fixing” ourselves in a world that constantly tells us we’re not enough.

This episode isn’t about shaming any choice — whether you’ve had work done, you’re considering it, or you’re simply trying to make peace with your reflection. My hope is to bring compassion into the conversation, remind you that you’re not alone in the pressures you feel, and encourage deeper thought about the emotional and physical risks involved with invasive procedures, especially surgery.

If you’ve ever felt confused, insecure, or overwhelmed by beauty expectations — this one’s for you.

Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t, and above all… be gentle with yourself. 💛
