E25 - Body Dysmorphia Mirror Mirror… WTF...

Break the Psycle
About this episode

How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought “ugh” or fixated on something no one else even notices? Yeah, we have too. In this episode, Elijah, Kyla, and Danny dive deep into body dysmorphia and how it messes with our minds in ways that hit differently for men and women. We talk about the mental gymnastics of self-image, the lies our brains tell us, and the exhausting cycle of negative self-talk.


With summer 2025 creeping up, we are flipping the script. Instead of obsessing over our physical glow-up, we are focusing on the mental one. Because real confidence is not about the perfect angle or the best filter, it is about breaking the cycle and seeing ourselves for who we really are.


Tune in for a raw, unfiltered conversation that might just change the way you see yourself.
