What's with obsessing over our looks?

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of societal beauty standards on self-perception and emphasizes the importance of inner beauty.

In this episode of Lostish we open up about the moments we first realised our appearance was something people noticed and how that changed the way we saw ourselves. We dive into why looks alone are never enough, and why a kind, genuine heart outshines a “10/10” exterior. From the difference between self-care and the exhausting pressure to look flawless, to rejecting inauthentic beauty standards and refusing to change just to please someone else, we explore the balance between embracing how you look and remembering what truly matters. It’s a reminder that real beauty always starts from within.
