In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind my recent foray in self-tanning (spoiler: it’s for Ben’s bar mitzvah), and the bigger conversation it sparked about how we see ourselves, especially as summer approaches.
This one goes deep into the kind of appearance-based noise so many of us live with all day long... and don’t even realize.
We’re talking about:
* The pressure to be “tan enough” to wear white
* Why body modification often feels like a necessity, not a choice
* What it means to feel like yourself vs. trying to look “better”
* How to start noticing and quieting the noise in your head about how you look
This is not a judgment on tanning or makeup or any of the things we do to change our appearance. It’s an invitation to get curious, ask why, and maybe—just maybe—loosen the grip body noise has on your life.
