Beauty Standards: Next Time They Body Shame You, Do This.

Let's talk about something that almost everyone has experienced, but not enough people know how to handle — body shaming.

In this episode, I share some of my own body shaming experiences, including one that has left me in tears in her hostel room. If you've ever been on the receiving end of an unsolicited comment about your body, you already know the feeling.

We're getting into:

• Why body shaming cuts so deep, even when it's "just jokes"
• What it means that these beauty standards are so deeply programmed into us that we start to internalise them ourselves
• Practical, honest ways to respond when it happens, whether it's from a stranger on TikTok, a coursemate, or someone close to home
• and so much more

This isn't a fluffy, feel-good episode, sincerely. It's an honest conversation about navigating a world that has opinions about how your body looks, and how to protect your peace in the middle of all that noise.
