Finding Comfort in Your Own Skin: The Pressure of "Bathing Suit Season"

"Are you doing it because you want to or because you want to look like somebody else?"

In this week’s podcast episode, Nadia and Alyssa explore body image and the pressure to have a certain body shape for “bathing suit season.” We chat about the influence of social media and advertising on body ideals, the importance of feeling comfortable in one's own skin, and the challenges of body changes throughout life. We also touch on the pressure men face regarding their body image. We’d love to hear what you think of this episode, and stay tuned for our upcoming episode of skincare in the sun.
