What if confidence isn’t about how your body looks… but how you see yourself?

In this episode of Rewired and Desired, we dismantle unrealistic beauty standards and explore how confidence, mindset, and authenticity shape attraction—especially for people living with disability, ostomies, scars, and medical devices.

We talk honestly about:

● How beauty standards are manufactured (and who benefits)

● Why confidence makes people appear more attractive than “perfect” bodies

● Aging, surgery, scars, ostomies, and learning to feel desirable again

● The difference between hiding your body and being at home in it

● Practical, grounded ways to build confidence without changing your body

This is a real conversation for people who’ve been told—directly or indirectly—that their body is “too much” or “not enough.”

No hype. No fake empowerment. Just truth, compassion, and lived experience.
