Romanticising life is everywhere right now, on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and while it’s sold as self-love, for so many women it’s become just another pressure. In this episode, we unpack the difference between using romanticising as a tool for joy versus letting it become an escape from reality. We talk about what it actually means to slow down and appreciate small moments, why self-care doesn’t need to look aesthetic to matter, and how chasing a “that girl” lifestyle can leave you feeling more inadequate than inspired.

We share raw moments from our own lives where we have felt the pressure creep in and how we pull ourselves out of it - creating main character energy from confidence rather than comparison.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with a new perspective on self-love: ‘your life is still beautiful on the days that don’t make Instagram’. We hope you enjoy xx
