About this episode

What makes you feel confident about yourself?

How do you build your confidence when it’s low?

Today, Jay discusses a topic that's all too familiar - the constant barrage of unrealistic beauty standards. He challenges the notion of a singular "most beautiful woman in the world" and explores how societal expectations and media influence our perception of beauty.

Jay breaks down the historical and cultural factors that shape beauty standards, from the ancient Greek ideals of symmetry and proportion to the modern-day obsession with youth and perfection. He highlights the role of social media in perpetuating unrealistic beauty ideals and encourages listeners to question these norms and embrace their individuality.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Embrace Individuality

How to Build Self-Love

How to Set Boundaries

How to Appreciate Uniqueness

How to Practice Mindfulness

By understanding the forces that shape our perception of beauty and cultivating self-love, we can live authentic, fulfilling lives. Remember, true beauty radiates from within.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
