Why Beauty Standards are Pretty Exhausting (You See What We Did There?)

Beauty standards are everywhere - and somehow they're always changing. In this episode of Don't Tell Your Father, we're unpacking the messages we've received about our bodies and challenging the idea that our appearance is our most important quality. In this episode, we dive into: * How beauty Standards have changed throughout history * Body image and the first time we became aware of our appearance * The mixed messages girls receive about their bodies * What trends we should leave behind for good Whether you're raising a daughter, surviving middle school, recovering from beauty standards, or simply trying to feel more at home in our own skin, this conversation is for you. Because your body is not a trend, not a project, and definitely not a before picture.

Did Birth Order Ruin Us? (and Other Questions We're Blaming on Our Siblings)

This week, we tackle the age-old question: did birth order shape who we are...or are we all just looking for someone to blame? As an oldest child and a youngest sibling, we compare notes on responsibility, people-pleasing, attention-seeking, and the family roles we may or may not have been assigned at birth. Along the way, we discuss: * Oldest child stereotypes * Middle child myths * Youngest sibling energy * Whether birth order actually matters * The habits we're still carrying into adulthood Some of it is backed by research. Some of it is backed by personal experience. All of it is backed by sibling grievances. Whether you're the family rule-follower, peacekeeper, or wild card, this episode might explain a few things - or give you fresh material to use against your siblings.
