The Facetune Illusion: What’s Really Happening Behind the Screen

Are we chasing perfection that doesn’t even exist? In this episode, we dive deep into the world of unattainable beauty standards—where filters, photo edits, and social media illusions are shaping how we see ourselves and each other.

Special guest Gretchen Andrew joins me to reveal how her Facetune portraits go beyond the surface, exposing the invisible scars that social media leaves on our mental health. Through her art, Gretchen challenges the fantasy of flawless beauty and sparks a conversation about the real impact of digital distortion.

Join us as we unpack the hidden mental health costs of comparing ourselves to faces and bodies that have been digitally modified beyond reality. Why do we set our expectations based on people who don’t even exist? How does this constant exposure impact our self-worth, confidence, and well-being?

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to look “perfect” or wondered how these impossible standards are affecting our minds, this is the conversation you can’t afford to miss. Tune in for honest stories, expert insights, and a much-needed reality check on beauty in the digital age.

Hit play and join the movement toward authenticity, your mental health will thank you!
