Have you ever felt 100% happy with your body? Or have there been moments when you've looked in the mirror and thought, "I wish my stomach was flatter", or simply wished there were things that were different?

Body image issues plague the mind, subconsciously eating away at our confidence and our self-worth, manifesting in different forms in work and relationships.

Preethi talks to Rhea Mathews, a mental health researcher and a counselling psychologist, about the effect of societal standards, invisible pressure, and how to accept our body in this episode. If you've ever thought about your body as less than adequate, this one is for you.
