This week's episode is a rant, a call to action, and a much-needed conversation about the toxic obsession with women looking like teenagers. I recently saw an article praising a woman for having the "body of a 16-year-old," and it just… it made my blood boil.

This isn't a compliment. It's ageist, it's damaging, and it perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards that hurt women of all ages. In this episode, I'm diving deep into how creepy this is!!! But also:

• The Problem with "Looking Young": Why is our society so obsessed with youth? What message does this send to young girls and to women who are aging gracefully?
• The Toxic Teen Body Ideal: What does "teen body" even mean? Why is it held up as the gold standard of beauty? And why is it so unattainable (and unhealthy) for most women?
• Ageism in the Beauty Industry: How does the constant focus on "anti-aging" products and procedures contribute to this toxic mindset?
• Body Positivity and Self-Acceptance: How can we combat these harmful messages and embrace our bodies at every stage of life? How can we teach the next generation of women to love themselves for who they are, not how they look?
• Beyond Physical Appearance: What truly matters when it comes to a woman's worth? Hint: it's so much more than her physical appearance!

I'm sharing my own experiences, my frustrations, and my hopes for a future where women are celebrated for their strength, their intelligence, and their unique beauty, regardless of their age. This is a conversation we NEED to be having.
