(Full, Ad-Free, Early Podcast) Ep. 89: Unrealistic Female Beauty Standards
Added 2020-08-07 04:32:05 +0000 UTCIn this episode, I discussed the unrealistic beauty standards women are held to in our society. I chatted about my personal experiences growing up as a woman & feeling like I needed to shave, change the color of my hair, be tanner, taller, skinnier, etc. I shared a bunch of listener's input on the unrealistic beauty standards they're held to as well, circling back to the fact that we are ALL beautiful no matter who tells us we need to change (even if it's our friends & family). I hope everyone listening knows that. ENJOY!

I wasn’t able to throw in my own experience on insta but I’ll share here if you’ll have me✨ I’ve always felt like I was on the taller side of girls around me. I would litterally slouch, bend my knee/sit into my hip, and just look down bc I was ashamed of my height. So much propaganda that guys don’t like y’all girls blah blah (Also literally something I can not change about me) Then I found ballet where my height was appreciated but the stick thin standards took so much of a toll on me I’m still repairing my relationship with food. Oh shit you just started talking about tumblr WHEW the amount of glorification of eating disorders?! Anyway, thank you so much for having this conversation. I’m really grateful for these outrages topics being discussed💜
