In this episode of Tea Time, Salome, Sofia and Ana spill the tea on bodies and the myth of the “ideal body.” From Disney villains and princesses shaping our earliest ideas of beauty to endless scrolling on social media, we talk about how these ideals sneak into our lives way too early and stick around far too long.
With personal stories, honest reflections, and a few hard truths, this episode explores how social pressure affects all of us and how we can start breaking free through self-acceptance, real representation and learning to feel at home in our own skin.
