Beauty Standards, Botox, and Why Boys Ca...

Christian Bevere
About this episode

The standards for beauty today are widely varied, ever-changing, and quite frankly—unattainable. Even the woman we'd think is the most beautiful in the room, may be picking herself apart in the mirror. How can we find a genuine and secure self-admiration that isn't fleeting or fictitious? We hope this episode, with my friend Nava, will inspire your beautiful self.
