During this episode, Ashley and I discuss how the Miss America program has influenced our personal growth and development.

As we enter a room, our minds often jump to the assumption that everyone can see our deepest insecurities. However, this is not the reality. Brooke and I discuss the importance of recognizing our self-worth, as being comfortable and confident in ourselves can shield us from dwelling on negative comments from others. It may take time to fully embrace our worth, but it is a journey that requires patience and faith in ourselves. Taking things one step at a time and prioritizing our belief in our strength can help us overcome any hurtful comments directed towards us.

Amanda and I discussed her experience growing up and coming to terms with having a chronic illness. We talked about the challenges of determining what it is because it involves trying various treatments with different doctors and seeking multiple perspectives. We also touched on the emotional and physical toll of sharing your experiences with medical professionals and others to help them understand your feelings. We agreed that although you may be different from others, it is important to embrace your uniqueness and remember that everyone has their own story, so it is important not to judge someone based on appearances.

In this episode, Zoe discusses her nonprofit organization and the ways in which she supports the mental health of young people nationwide. We touch on her journey of starting the organization and achieving recognition at both state and national levels. She discusses her goal of making a positive difference in students who are facing mental health challenges and we also talk about the difficulties of being a young entrepreneur in charge of a nonprofit like ours. We believe it's more important to stand out and make a difference rather than blend into a crowd where nobody pays attention.

Come join Alexandra and me as we discuss the experience of dealing with body dysmorphia and mental health challenges in our early teenage years.

Additionally, we will address the impact of social media, highlighting its potential role as a leading factor in body dysmorphia and low self-esteem when not utilized positively.
