Beyond the Mirror – Body Image, Self-Acceptance & Growth with Stephanie Jones


Listen Later

The stories we carry about our bodies often begin long before we have words for them. In this honest and grounding conversation, makeup artist and self-love advocate Stephanie Jones reflects on growing up as a young Black girl navigating body dysmorphia, belonging, and visibility in spaces that offered little safety or representation.

She speaks to the protective roles we adopt to survive, the courage it takes to show up authentically, and the process of unlearning narratives that diminish our worth.

Rooted in faith, resilience, and self-acceptance, this episode explores body image, beauty standards, and the reclaiming of identity—inviting us to honor our bodies, embrace growth, and redefine beauty on our own terms.
