A Rant About Modern Day Beauty Standards

In a world full of societal pressures, social media trends, and cultural standards, it's easy to feel like you need to be the "perfect" version of yourself all of the time. Pia & Paula know how overwhelming this can be and want to remind you that these standards are totally unrealistic! Today, the sisters open up about their experiences in navigating modern beauty standards, rant about the constant pressure to uphold them, offer tips on how to quiet the noise of outside opinions, and encourage you to focus on what makes you feel confident. They know it can be tough to stop comparing yourself to others, but with daily affirmations, the perfect pair of jeans, and some self-love, you'll be on the right track to fully embracing what makes you YOU!

- (6:09) How their body image standards changed over time 

- (13:46) Overcoming insecurities from childhood 

- (19:59) External validation versus internal self-worth
