7. Embracing uniqueness: our journey through self-acceptance and cultural norms

This week, we open up about our personal experiences with beauty standards and self-image, particularly as South Asian women. There are so many challenges while growing up feeling 'different' and the journey to self-acceptance becomes so much more complicated as brown women. This includes our struggles with body hair, fitting into Western beauty ideals, and the impact of social media on our self-esteem, as well as the colourism that exists within our own community and the contradictions of beauty standards. The episode is a heartfelt exploration of learning to embrace our unique features, with a focus on the importance of representation and internal validation over external approval.
