As you get older, do you give lesser f*cks about what people think of you? Most of us would have gone through this phase in life where we hated the way we love, feeling like we are not pretty enough, not skinny enough, not like the other girls you see around you.
In this episode, we are thrilled to have Maggy Wang (host of ‪@TheTakeawayTable‬'s Head over Heels podcast) with us to discuss the unrealistic and irrevocable beauty standards that has affected us well into our 20s & 30s. How do you come to terms with your own body? How do you stop comparing yourself to the pretty girl you just saw on TikTok? Tune in as the girls and Maggy share their experiences on building their own body confidence.
