Hey Lifers happy Tuesday!You’ll never believe who Britt ran into this week and what Laura Learnt that really blew her mind.Then we chat all things BDD. That’s Body dysmorphic disorder. BDD is a mental health disorder in which you can't stop thinking about one or more perceived defects or flaws in your appearance.These ‘defects or flaws’ usually appear small, are minor, are often non existent and aren’t noticed by others. But you may feel so embarrassed, ashamed and anxious that it impacts your life. You avoid mirrors, constantly compare yourself, feel depressed or anxious, dislike what you see and you may avoid social situations all together. It can affect so many aspects of our life.We delve into BDD and chat about how we feel media today perpetuates the idea that success equals beauty and in turn contributes to the rise of disorders like BDD.If you love hearing us in your ears each week please hit 5 stars, leave a review and share the love, because, well, we love love xSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
