    How Toxic Beauty Standards Nearly Killed Tabitha Clifft: A Story of Survival and Transformation

    We sit down with Tabitha Clifft, a wellness influencer who has faced a series of life-altering challenges over the past two years. Tabitha opens up about her near-death experience due to breast implant illness, her journey through chronic illness, and how the pursuit of perfection led her to almost lose herself. She discusses the pressures of being on the reality TV show "Too Hot to Handle," where her image was objectified, and the toxic beauty standards that nearly took her life. Tabitha shares the impact of trauma on the body, the ego's collapse, and her realisation that true healing starts from within. Tabitha's story takes a transformative turn when she embarks on a journey to India, reminiscent of "Eat, Pray, Love," and begins to uncover a deeper, spiritual connection with herself. She talks about her silent retreat in Bali, the dangers of placing self-worth in physical appearance, and the power of meditation and self-love. In this episode, she shares hard-won insights on how to disconnect from societal expectations, embrace radical self-acceptance, and find true healing beyond the superficial. Join us for an inspiring conversation about self-discovery, overcoming trauma, the importance of inner work, and the journey to genuine self-love. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself or trapped by society's standards, this episode will resonate with you.
