Been There, Felt That

The pressure to always look ‘put together’ & why we’re done with it


Listen Later

Why do women feel so much pressure to look the part—whether it’s in the workplace, as a mum, or just walking out the damn door? In this episode, we’re getting real about society’s exhausting beauty standards, the mental load of having to be presentable, and the fine line between self-care and self-criticism.

From Stacey’s experience in the beauty industry to Rosie’s journey with body image struggles, we’re unpacking why women are expected to constantly ‘keep up’—and why men just… aren’t. We’re also diving into the ridiculous double standards around aging, the fashion ‘rules’ we’re told to follow (and why they’re bullshit), and the moment we both realised we were done living by other people’s standards.

So, when was the last time you left the house without a second thought about your appearance? If you hesitated, this episode is for you.

Because true beauty? It’s in authenticity—not in perfect hair and flawless makeup.
