You’re only one decision away from changing your life.
Hit follow and let’s break the rules — together.
SHE BREAKS THE RULES
EP #8 Beauty Standards, Botox & Body Image; How Beauty Culture is Still Controlling Women. A Conversation Inspired by Jameela Jamil.
In today's episode, we dive into a vulnerable and important conversation sparked by a viral Instagram post by actress and body image advocate, Jameela Jamil. With over 150,000 likes and 8,000 shares in just a few days, her post raised a question that hit home for us; and one we believe every woman deserves to reflect on:
Is it truly your choice or have you been conditioned to believe it is?
We’re not here to judge or shame. Instead, we invite you to get curious with us:
✨ Why do we feel the pull to alter our faces and bodies?
✨ How much of our "personal choice" is actually influenced by society?
✨ What does true acceptance, self-worth, and aging look like when we break the rules set by culture?
We share our personal experiences, the societal pressures we’ve felt, and the gentle questions you can ask yourself to start building awareness around your choices.
This episode isn’t about telling you what to do, it's about empowering you to know yourself deeply and make choices from a place of true autonomy, not unconscious influence.
Key Takeaways:
- The rise of sameness in female beauty ideals
- How social media amplifies beauty pressures
- The power of curiosity and self-inquiry over blind acceptance
- Why individuality, aging, and body diversity matter more than ever
- How to begin separating self-worth from appearance
Reflective Question:
If you lived in a world without social media or external opinions, would you still feel the same desire to change the way you look?
