  • Overthinking about toxic culture/beauty standards?!?

    I used to listen to this podcast to help ease my overthinking mind; now I’m unsubscribing because the first thing I hear is the host trying to sell me some Kardashian garbage. Yuck. I understand sponsorships are necessary, but maybe a bit more ethical ones are out there, considering the subject matter and demographic or your podcast listeners… bye 🙁
