Why do we feel like we have to look perfect to be enough? In this episode, we’re diving into the pressure to look a certain way, body image struggles, and the mental toll of constantly chasing an unrealistic standard. I’m sharing my personal experience with the 75 Hard challenge, how body dysmorphia affected my mindset, and why even the most “consistent” efforts didn’t feel like they were working. We’ll also break down the psychology behind social comparison, why tying our self-worth to our appearance is a trap, and most importantly — how to start shifting our mindset toward self-acceptance.

If you’ve ever felt like no amount of validation is enough, or that you’re stuck in an endless cycle of trying to “fix” yourself, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it, reflect on it, and figure out how to actually feel good in our own skin!
