In this episode, we’re talking about the return of skinny culture, how beauty standards continue to evolve, and why so many women feel like the goalpost for attractiveness is constantly moving.

From the early 2000s era of tabloids and extreme dieting to today’s world of GLP-1 medications, wellness culture, the “Pilates princess” aesthetic, and social media body trends, it feels like thinness is being rebranded for a new generation.

We get into:

the return of skinny culture

the history of 2000s beauty standards

Ozempic and GLP-1 conversations

wellness culture and social media pressure

the “Pilates body” trend

celebrity body standards

Black vs white beauty standards

body positivity and the shifting goalposts for women

and why beauty standards never really disappear… they just rebrand


Is this really about health… or are women once again being asked to become whatever version is currently trending?
