🎙️ New Episode Out Now: Beauty Standards & Diet Culture

This week, we’re getting real about the pressures that shaped us , and the ones we’re still unlearning.

We dive into everything from the Victoria Beckham era, heroin chic aesthetic to the realities of plus-size modelling, ever-changing social media trends, fillers, and surgery. It’s a full breakdown of how beauty ideals have been pushed, sold, and absorbed for decades.

As two curve models, we also talk about how these trends hit us directly , how the industry’s constant shifts can affect our confidence, our work, and the way we see our bodies.

And we open up about the personal side of it all:

✨ Kayleigh shares her current struggles with her implants

✨ Sophie speaks openly about her former eating disorder

✨ How magazine culture conditioned a generation to believe they had to shrink to be accepted

✨ And why doing things for yourself , not the trend cycle, is the real act of self-love
