Episode description
Beauty is pain, pain is beauty. We take a hard look at society’s creation of the ideal woman and how we’ve tortured ourselves to become her. While the standard of what is considered desirable has changed throughout the decades, the urgency to chase after unrealistic expectations persists, nonetheless.
