Meg and Jacob O'Neill
About this episode

In this deeply emotional and raw episode of Sex, Love, and Everything in Between, Meg and Jacob has a conversation about the struggles and beauty of aging in today’s world.

Meg shares her recent, deeply personal experiences with feeling insecure about her appearance and how society plays a deep part in the perception of beauty.  She opens up about how these societal pressures can erode self-confidence, making women feel small, unworthy, and unattractive. 

She talks about an upsetting incident that made her realize the importance of speaking out about feelings of insecurity and dealing with criticism. 

Meg's brave decision to start these tough conversations provides strength and support for other women facing similar issues.

They also riff off on:

  • Meg seeing a screenshot of her mouth posted by an injectable nurse saying it needed fixing. 
  • Meg realizing how much the beauty standards affect her and all women.
  • Meg crying in her car after seeing the screenshot, feeling grief for all women.
  • Meg feeling grief for how many women are affected by beauty standards daily
  • Jacob telling Meg her radiance comes from within, not her looks
  • Meg feeling a part of her wanted to contract and be small from insecurity  
  • Meg realizing how much her own value was tied to beauty and youthfulness
  • Meg wanting to be a voice for aging women after her experiences 
  • Jacob saying Meg's goal should be to be a woman who is deeply felt by life
  • Meg looking forward to the journey of aging and the wisdom she can share later in life
