Ep. 2 - Culture & Beauty Standards

from Breaking the Cycle: Redefining Weight Loss, Health, & Mom Life · host Carmie & Dal

In this episode, we dive into the meaning of beauty standards — both as defined by Western culture and by the cultures we grew up in — and how they shaped the way we saw ourselves. We explore the long-lasting impact these standards can have, especially on young, impressionable girls and boys, and how they influence our self-worth, confidence, and identity.We open up about the work it took to break free from those ingrained beliefs, the healing process that followed, and how we’re now consciously breaking the cycle for our own children. This conversation is about unlearning what we were taught, reclaiming our own definitions of beauty, and creating a healthier legacy for the next generation.Connect with Carmie on IG @carmhawk_getsfitConnect with Dal on IG @nutritioncoachingbydal
