What if feeling ugly isn’t actually about your looks? In today’s honest and powerful episode, we open up about our struggles with appearance and the deep-rooted beliefs that shaped how we saw ourselves. We talk about the rising fear of being unattractive, the emotional weight of beauty standards, and why external fixes, like surgery or filters, rarely heal the real wounds. If you’ve ever questioned your appearance or felt pressure to be “pretty enough,” this conversation is for you. You’ll walk away with clarity, compassion, and a fresh understanding of what truly builds lasting confidence.
