To Botox or Not to Botox – How to Navigate a World of Impossible Standards with Social Historian and Former Beauty Consultant, Ellen Atlanta
This week, I’m joined by author and beauty culture commentator EllenAtlanta to explore how tweakments, filters and social media are reshapingnot just our faces – but the way we see ourselves. From the rise of fillers inthe UK to the constant pressures of online “perfection,” Ellen shares powerful insights from her book and from conversations with young women growing up in the middle of it all. Together, we talk about what it means to navigate beauty in the digital age, how social media has shifted our ideas of confidence and self-image, and why these treatments and filters have become such a big part of the conversation. If you’ve ever questioned your reflection, wondered how the online world is shaping your self-esteem, or simply wanted to better understand today’s beauty culture, this episode will give you fresh perspectives on acceptance, confidence, and defining beauty on your own terms.
BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE
Ellen’s book, Pixel Flesh, explores the impact of digital beauty culture on women’s self-worth and mental health, and is available now in all good bookstores.
