    Ep#2: EP2# 當美變成一個標準：我們會什麼要變漂亮？

    EP2# 當美變成一個標準：我們為什麼要變漂亮？ 你喜歡自己的身體嗎？ 高中生酮飲食的時候，每天晚餐我都糾結要不要多吃兩顆堅果，Corrine 規定自己下 4 點後就不要吃晚餐，得到掌握身體的安全感。 50 多歲的媽媽抱怨自己太胖， 17 歲的妹妹嫌自己的腿不夠長，我才華洋溢的朋友們因為幾天沒運動開始討厭自己，生氣的說胖都是因為自己不夠努力。 水蛇腰，蜜大腿， A4 腰，直角肩，巴掌臉，這些不停被發明出的詞彙，究竟是讓我們更能展現自己，還是成為永不停歇的標準和框架，讓人疲於奔命？ 而這當然不是一兩句「愛自己」、「接受自己本來身體的樣子」就可以解決的。更甚，愛自己會不會變成另外一個審查標準，生氣仍然受制於期待的自己？ 2026 年「瘦才是王道」的風氣又回來了， SkinnyTok ，骨瘦如柴的好萊塢名人，彷彿過去的Body Positivity 只是一場夢。瘦瘦針的出現讓文化對於美真正的想像浮出水面，啊，還是要瘦得好。 今天這集 Corrine 和我分享了成長環境如何形塑了我們對美的認知，身材容貌怎麼影響自我價值，還有隨著時間過去，我們對於美的想法有什麼樣的改變。 希望你會喜歡！ 本集精華 🌕 小學時家人同儕的評價從極端的控制到嘗試和身體共存不受標準限制的美建立在焦慮＆過度消費的產業

    EP1: The cost of bottling emotions in Asian culture - A Journey to Self ft. Naomi Chan

    EP1: The cost of bottling emotions in Asian culture - A Journey to Self ft. Naomi Chan What does it look like to find light when everything around you feels like chaos? In this episode, I'm joined by Naomi Chan, a mental health advocate who opens up about her own emotional challenges and the moments that helped her find her way through. We also talk about how to show up for the friends and family in our lives when they're struggling. And the myths we still hold about mental health as a society. The ones that keep so many of us quiet. This conversation stayed with me long after we stopped recording. I hope it does the same for you. If it speaks to you, share it with someone who might need it — and leave a review if you enjoyed this one. xx
