As a kid, I came to dislike a lot of my characteristically Asian features because I was in an environment that saw white and Eurocentric features as the beauty standard, and I was teased a lot for the shape of my eyes, face, etc. I also had a complicated relationship with my body image, one that influenced my journey with health and fitness. Nowadays, I've definitely healed and grown stronger through these experiences, but I still find myself grappling with major insecurities over my physical appearance from time to time. On today's episode, listen as I share my many half-formed thoughts about beauty standards, body image, pretty privilege, etc.
