why wait for self-acceptance?
society shapes how we see ourselves—whether it’s beauty standards or the pressure to fit in. but as we get older, something shifts. we start questioning what actually matters to us versus what we’ve been conditioned to believe. in this episode, we unpack how societal expectations influence self-perception, why we care so much about external validation in our early years, whilst also exploring why it’s so important to love and accept yourself right now instead of looking back with regret.to stay up to date on our lives, contribute to future episodes and share any of your thoughts - pls do Follow us on instagram, tiktok or subscribe to us on youtube here! ☕thinking of joining our BOOK CLUB?
