Welcome back to Similarly Different. This week’s solo episode is one I’ve been wanting to share for a while; a real, unfiltered conversation about body dysmorphia. It’s something I’ve dealt with personally, and something I know so many of us silently struggle with. From comparing ourselves in the mirror to battling the highlight reel of social media, it’s time we talk about it openly!

💬 In this episode:
- What body dysmorphia really is (and why it’s not just “vanity”)
- My personal story of spiraling during a Vegas trip & how it shaped my self-image
- Why comparison culture and social media make this struggle louder
- How triggers can show up in the smallest everyday moments
- The tools I’ve used to manage dysmorphia: therapy, mirror work, movement, boundaries & self-talk
- Why your worth is never tied to your reflection
- Celebrities like Lana Condor, Kendall Jenner, and Jameela Jamil who have spoken openly about their own struggles
