When’s the last time you looked in the mirror and truly felt good about what you saw?
In this candid and heartfelt episode, Sarah and Tanna open up about body image, aging, and the quiet (and sometimes loud) discomfort many women feel as they see their reflection change over time. Together, they unpack what it means to look with soft eyes—to see strength, gratitude, and self-respect instead of criticism.
You’ll hear them discuss:
• The shift from external validation to intrinsic self-worth
• Why soft eyes are brave eyes and how to train your perspective
• How to break the cycle of 60,000 daily thoughts (most of them recycled and negative)
• Rituals to rewire your self-talk and build genuine self-acceptance
Sarah and Tanna share three powerful practices to start ritualizing self-compassion in your life today:
Look with soft eyes. Choose to see your strength first.
Try a Loving Kindness Meditation. (Dr. James Rouse’s 10-minute version is a great place to start.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yuQ8I2yX5Y
Keep a nightly “Win Journal.” End your day recognizing your follow-through, effort, and goodness.
This episode is a warm, honest reminder that you can be strong, aging, and grateful all at once.
Soft eyes aren’t weak. They’re kind. They’re powerful.
They’re how we learn to love the woman in the mirror.
