This week I’m talking about something that’s been sitting heavy with me: the insidious pressure for women to fix their faces as they age — and what happens when you don’t.

I’m not talking about skincare and makeup.

I’m talking about injections, lasers, facelifts, and the growing reality that it’s getting harder and harder to see women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond who haven’t invasively altered their faces — especially online.

I talk about:

* Why this feels eerily similar to growing up with zero body-size diversity
* How comparison gets warped when you’re looking at untouched faces vs. touched faces
* The isolation that can creep in when you’re choosing not to participate (or can’t)
* And why visibility actually matters more than we want to admit

This isn’t about judgment.

It’s about naming the pressure, the privilege, and the very real mental toll of where we are — and making space for women who are opting out, quietly wondering if they’re the only ones.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, Is something wrong with me for not fixing this? This episode is for you.

Lately, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to outsource our opinions.

About clothes.Food.Workouts.Supplements.Even our bodies.

In this episode, I’m talking about the copycat culture we’re all swimming in right now. The constant links, recommendations, and “everyone loves this” energy. And the insidious way it teaches us to stop trusting ourselves.

I’m sharing the one question I keep coming back to when I feel that pull to buy it, try it, or do it just because someone else swears by it: How is this actually working for me?

I'm talking about:

• Why copying someone else’s strategy is a fast track to self-doubt
• What’s really happening when something “works for everyone else” but not for you
• How to stop blaming yourself when a product, plan, or trend doesn’t work for you

If you’ve ever bought the thing, tried the plan, or followed the advice and thought, why isn’t this working for me? — this one will hit home.

This week’s episode is basically a Diet Diaries talk show—two women in their mid-late 40s talking about the things you think but are afraid to say out loud.

Tammy Spiewak is back (somatic experiencing practitioner, yoga teacher, life coach… also my actual friend), and we dive straight into two big topics that sound unrelated but are absolutely the same conversation:

1. The insanely underestimated work of feeding your family. Not meal planning in a cute Pinterest way. The actual mental load. The “what are we eating, when am I making it, what do I need from the store, do I have time, will anyone even eat it” loop that runs in the background of your brain.

2. The way injections and “beauty maintenance” have become weirdly casual, like it’s the same thing as ordering a matcha. And what that normalization is doing to women who already feel like their bodies are a constant project. We talk about the pressure to “keep up,” the lie that fixing the outside fixes the inside, and why the discomfort you’re trying to avoid just pops up somewhere else.

This is really an episode about ease. About “good enough.” About how exhausting it is to feel like you’re supposed to have it all figured out while you’re literally just trying to live your life in a body that is allowed to change.

If you’ve ever had the thought, “what are people going to think?” about what’s in your shopping cart, what your stomach looks like, whether your face is aging “too much,” or whether you look like you take care of yourself the right way…this one will hit home. Hard.
