213: Why We're Sick of Society's Expectations Around Weight and Body Image
from The Rosie and Roula Show · host Roula Abou Haidar and Rosie Burrows
The weight chat no one asked for but everyone seems to have an opinion on. From the Kate Moss era to the weird things people say about “the ideal body,” we dig into why weight still has such a chokehold on how we see ourselves. Is society actually shifting or are we kidding ourselves? We talk beauty standards, BMI nonsense, thin-shaming, fat-shaming, why scales are the worst invention ever, and why your organs matter more than your jeans size. It’s equal parts rant, reflection, and Roula shedding her skin like a tiny peeling snake.Topics covered:Why beauty standards haven’t changed as much as we thinkThe difference between health and weightWhy scales mess with your headHow society profits from insecurityWhy body shaming goes both ways nowDo you reckon we’re overreacting about body standards or do you feel it too?--------------------☕️ Buy us a coffee!🎙️ Send us a voice message🛍️ Buy some Rosie and Roula merch!--------------------⭐️ Leave us a review▶️ Follow us on Instagram and TikTok🎞️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel--------------------🎧 Check out Roula's podcast🎧 Check out Rosie's podcast
