With anxiety off the charts as a growing epidemic among children and teens, we're spending all this week looking at strategies you can employ to prevent anxiety in the kids you know and love. Research is showing that one of the greatest catalysts for anxiety is immersion in social media. The use of technology has created an expectation that things should happen fast, in fact, immediately. When technology slows or we don't get an immediate response we become anxious. Social media also sets up unrealistic standards for physical appearance and beauty. Consequently, kids and adults anxiously fabricate and curate images of self that aren't even close to being honest. We become anxious if we can't hit the standard. And, we fear being found out and seen for who we really are. Finally, when our kids have their faces constantly buried in their devices, they miss out on the flourishing that comes with living in the real world. Social media is not all bad. But too much leads to anxiety.

Rachel and Matilda from the Zombie Grrlz Podcast Network join Caitlin to cover The Ugly Stepsister, an outstanding 2025 horror release from Norway. We talk about beauty standards, dance, fairy tales, and how no one wins under patriarchy. It's a great movie and a great discussion. Tangents include: physical media, a WYR and some FMKs, first movies, VHS tapes, first books, Santa Claus, horror movies with muppets, and pride horror recs.
First thing's first: we break down all the magical details from Zoe's Snow White makeover at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Disneyland. Meanwhile, Sara has her own transformation: she shares her experience getting injectables for the first time with Dr. Nancy Samolitis, which devolved into a discussion about beauty standards: do Gen Alpha and Gen Z have it harder than millennials? Plus, we break down why the once-reliable “lipstick index” might be a thing of the past, according to a new report from Business of Fashion.Shop this episodeWatch our episodes!CALL or TEXT US: 424-341-0426Instagram: @glossangelspod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanTwitter: @glossangelespod, @kirbiejohnson, @saratanEmail: glossangelespodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode, Bridgett speaks with Danni Adams—CO-CREATOR of the Institute for Body Image Coaching, speaker, and advocate for fat Black women—to unpack the deep connections between beauty standards, race, social justice, and self-worth. From navigating microaggressions to confronting healthcare bias, Danni shares her journey of reimagining beauty and building community. They discuss how historical narratives still shape body image today, the influence of social media on youth, and why representation is critical for healing and growth. Bridgett and Danni's conversation reminds us that self-love isn't linear—it's an act of resistance, presence, and power. You can find Danni on Instagram and by visiting her website! Key Takeaways:Microaggressions are a daily reality for marginalized bodies.Healthcare systems often perpetuate weight stigma and bias against larger bodies.Young people are heavily influenced by social media beauty standards.Creating offline spaces for youth can help normalize body acceptance.Historical beauty standards continue to shape societal perceptions today. Helping people reimagine beauty is essential.Self-love is a continuous journey, not a destination.Feeling emotions is crucial for healing.Representation in media is currently lacking.Progress in body positivity is mixed with regression.Personal experiences shape our understanding of beauty.Navigating body shame requires vulnerability and honesty.Subscribe to the newsletter: https://beyondbeautyproject.myflodesk.com/newsletter Learn about Keynotes & Workshops: https://www.beyondbeautyproject.com/workwithme For more, you can follow Beyond Beauty Project on Instagram, YouTube, and visit our website!Produced by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

‘Tall girls just aren't that pretty.'That's how we're made to feel or even what we're told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it's not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it's recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder: Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?That we're these ‘big', awkward skyscrapers? Why? Why is this the case? I got 3 words for ya: Societal beauty standards. This is explained in a piece written in the Minnesota Daily by Sidney Clarke, who says, “height has been inextricably associated with a lack of conventional beauty.” Why is this the case? And how can we overcome this?Well, that's what today's episode is all about!

In this powerful episode of The Anxiety Chicks, Alison and Taylor open up about the emotional journey of aging—particularly from a woman's perspective. From the pressure to look a certain way to the silent grief of unmet expectations, they get real about what it means to grow older in a society that glorifies youth. The conversation explores the internal shifts that come with milestone birthdays like 30 or 40, the emotional weight of becoming a caregiver to aging parents, and the strength that can be found in the middle of life's most tender transitions. Whether you're navigating body image, grieving what never was, or learning to love who you're becoming—this episode is a reminder that aging is not a curse, but a privilege.

Every woman has something that's tearing away at her esteem —a part they wish they could change. Many of us struggle with internal battles, feeling defined by societal perceptions of beauty or worth. In his message, The Noblewoman Era, Dr. Gabe draws from the biblical story of Leah and Rachel, illustrating how societal and internal pressures can shape—even skew—our self-worth. Leah, often overshadowed by Rachel's beauty, teaches us that our perceived imperfections do not define our potential.Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 9 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website

What is the world's definition of beauty? How often have we squeezed, strived, and starved ourselves in order to meet its impossible standards, only to feel we're never enough? Today's podcast is Part 1 of a two-part series on Dreaming with God, where Stasi shares God's invitation to see ourselves through His eyes—to trade striving for rest, shame for grace, and the enemy's lies for God's Truth. God not only calls us beautiful (SoS 1:15), but He also invites us to walk in union with Him, partnering with Him in the joy of becoming who He has created us to be and offering what He has uniquely planted in our hearts.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Song of Songs 4:1 (NLT) – You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves …2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT) – So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.John 15:5 (NLT) – Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NIV) – The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.Matthew 22:39 (NLT) – … ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'…..RESOURCESBecoming Myself: Embracing God's Dream of You by Stasi Eldredge https://amzn.to/4gYrsZyQuote: “Today you are you.

Society constantly tells us that our value, and even our relationship status, is tied to how closely we match its ever-changing beauty standards. But God says something completely different.

From nose jobs to fox-eye lifts, cosmetic procedures have never felt more accessible—or more tempting. Thanks to social media, we’re no longer just seeing the before and afters. We're watching it all unfold: pre-op consults, the surgery chair, the bruises, the swelling, the recovery. But is this behind-the-scenes access empowering, or is it just another kind of beauty pressure dressed up as transparency? We get into it in this week's Uncensored episode. Plus, we help a listener build the ultimate $100 barrier repair cart for dehydrated, acne-prone skin—affordable and effective picks only. And finally, Hannah confesses to dropping $140 on a very bougie bin (yes, a bin), and shares the other fancy things she’s picked up for her new home. Meanwhile, Mel makes a surprising case for her current home obsession... a poo stool.

Gray hairs with attitude, body image trolls, and the absurd pressure to look perfect—yeah, we're going there today. In this episode, we were having a casual, off-line conversation about beauty, aging, and societal pressures when we thought — hey, this is too good not to share! Inspired by Nelly Furtado's candid post on body neutrality, we dive into the absurdity of beauty standards. From tweezing gray hairs to handling unsolicited advice about makeup, we explore the unrelenting pressure women face to “look the part” at every age. Spoiler alert: even people in the pictures don't look like that! Even though we don't live in a society that celebrates aging, it's not all heavy—we keep it real and funny as we tackle topics like diet culture, body criticism, and how women often unintentionally reinforce these unrealistic ideals. We also dish out three actionable ways to break the cycle and show up for each other with love, not judgment. In this episode: Nelly Furtado's refreshing take on body neutrality Maria's war with her gray hairs (and why they seem to have superpowers) How social media magnifies beauty pressure (and makes us overthink everything) Tara's take on bodybuilders who peak for just three hours and still dominate Instagram The subtle ways we bash ourselves (and how to STOP IT) This episode is brought to you by the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra.
