In this episode of The Radically Well Podcast, Rosie Acosta and Tessa Tovar dive into confidence, body image, and the societal perceptions of aging. They unpack how cultural biases shape self-worth, attractiveness, and wellness—especially for women navigating midlife. From beauty standards to self-acceptance, masculinity, and mindful transformations, this conversation explores what it means to embrace authenticity, confidence, and personal evolution.
Three reasons to listen to the entire episode:
🔹 How do societal pressures shape our body image?
🔹 Can confidence redefine attractiveness as we age?
🔹 The balance between wellness, self-care, and self-worth.
Join us for an insightful and raw discussion on embracing change with confidence and curiosity!
