Why Are We So Scared to Age? (Botox, Beauty Standards & Insecurity)

Why are we so scared to age...especially in our 20s? In this episode, we unpack the growing fear of aging, the rise of preventative Botox and fillers, and the pressure women feel to stay young before we’ve even had the chance to fully live.We talk about finding grey hairs in our twenties, how beauty standards and social media push anti-aging narratives early, and how things like body hair, appearance, and “imperfections” have been normalized to shame impacting our confidence, self-worth, and body image more than we realize.We also get into a deeper conversation about how our fear of aging might affect our moms, and what it means to express anxiety about getting older to women who have already lived through those stages of life.If you’ve ever felt pressure to look younger, questioned your appearance, or struggled with insecurity because of beauty standards, this episode will make you feel seen and maybe help you rethink what aging actually means.
