Ep 8: Abs, Anxiety and Artificial Aesthetics: Pt 1


Listen Later

Part 1

Abs didn’t fix our anxiety — so we started here. 🪞


Part 1 dives into gay beauty standards, body weight obsession, hair loss panic, gym culture, and the slow creep of body dysmorphia. We talk about how muscular, masculine, and often white-centered ideals become invisible rules — and how chasing them can leave you leaner, stronger, and somehow more insecure.


From calorie-earning workouts to “natty” lies and comparison culture, we unpack why the gym can shift from grounding to punishing, and why unattainable goals don’t motivate forever — they exhaust.


If you’ve ever felt hotter but less at peace, this part sets the stage. 💪🏽🧠
