Episode 222: When "must have" isn't a must have for YOU


Listen Later

Ever try something an influencer swore was life-changing — the jeans, the makeup, the hair tutorial — and it just didn’t work for you? And instead of thinking “maybe this just isn’t for me,” you spiral into “what’s wrong with me?”

Yeah. Same.

Today’s episode is a follow-up to last week’s convo about influence vs. inspiration — and how easy it is to internalize failure when something “everyone loves” doesn’t work for you. Whether it’s high-rise jeans, a viral yogurt bowl, or a protein target that feels impossible to hit — the message is the same:

You’re not the problem.

Here’s what we get into:

  • Why “must-have” might not mean “must-have for you
  • How body proportions, preferences, and personality all matter (and why they should)
  • What it looks like to trust yourself instead of doubting your decisions
