Rise From Within, with Terri Pugh

163. Why do I look different in different mirrors and windows?


Listen Later

Ever caught your reflection in a shop window and thought, “Hang on… I didn’t look like that this morning”? Yep, me too!

So in this episode, I’m going to explain why mirrors and windows can make us look completely different, even on the same day, in the same outfit. 

I’m going to talk about how reflections work (yes, there’s some light science in this one!), how lighting, angles and movement all play a part, and why the mirror you trust at home might not be showing you the “real” you either.

Some insight and reassurance for when your reflection catches you off guard.

I’m talking about:

  • Why your reflection changes depending on where you see it
  • How mirrors and windows are made (and why that matters)
  • The brain’s reaction to conflicting reflections
  • The answer to “Which reflection of me is true?”
