In this follow-up chat with Trish McCoy Kessler from Empower Counseling, Sam and Aaron dig into how social media shapes the way we see our bodies — and each other. From “fitspo” influencers and #WhatIEatInADay videos to filtered “real me” selfies, the conversation gets honest about what’s healthy, what’s not, and how comparison creeps in without us noticing. They also touch on cultural takes on body image, why food and exercise rules can quietly take over your life, and how to tell when “discipline” turns into obsession. It’s a thoughtful talk about body image, health, and learning to separate real connection from the highlight reel.
