Alicia Mccarvell, TikTok creator with 5.6 million followers, known for her viral videos about body-image, rejoins Aleen for DST Thursday. To kick it off, Aleen shares her DST Win about an impromptu, but necessary form of self-care in the form of a weekend trip. Next, Alicia gives her win, which is about learning to not take any moment for granted. They then read the DST Win of the week, which comes from a listener who learned to appreciate herself for who she was and did not give an F about how she looked in her engagement photos. This brings Aleen and Alicia to talk about the pressure behind getting married and why society’s beauty standards have tried to take the joy out of the *big day*. Next, they read the Dear DST that asks advice on finding the balance between anti-diet culture and diet culture, especially when it comes to health reasons. To wrap up, Aleen and Alicia have a convo about how it's okay to want to change the appearance of your body if it’s for the right reasons.
