Your body isn’t a trend—it’s yours. But for decades, society has treated women’s bodies like fashion statements, constantly shifting the ‘ideal’ from one extreme to another. From the heroin chic of the ’90s to the rise of the hourglass figure, these ever-changing beauty standards create a toxic cycle that leaves women chasing an illusion instead of embracing their own strength, health, and confidence.
In this episode of Muscles and Malarkey, we’re breaking down why women’s bodies are not up for debate, how these unrealistic trends impact mental and physical well-being, and most importantly—how to break free. We’re talking about shifting the focus from aesthetics to empowerment, making choices that serve you, and learning to stand strong in a body that’s built for more than just fitting into the latest mold.
You are not a trend. You are powerful, capable, and enough—exactly as you are.
