Episode 252: What does it really mean to be happy with your body?


Listen Later

There’s a version of today’s conversation that stays polite and surface-level…and then there’s the version I decided to record today.

I’m talking about the pressure women feel to “fix” their bodies, why so many of us are trying to escape any sense of emotional discomfort, and what it really means when we say a cosmetic procedure “makes me happy.” 

This one of the most honest episodes I’ve ever recorded—and if you feel called out and uncomfortable, then I’ve done my job. Because complacency around this is NOT ok. 

In this episode, I get into:

  • the real reason we feel drawn to surgeries, lasers, and injections
  • how social media makes it feel like everyone is doing it
  • the difference between happiness and relief
  • why peer pressure doesn’t end in middle school
  • what happens when every woman strives to look the same
  • how this impacts our kids (yes — even our sons)
  • the internal work I’m choosing to do instead of “fixing” myself
