TikTok's obsession with facial symmetry filters is warping the way we see ourselves- and not in a cute, harmless way. In this episode, we dive into how these apps fuel body dysmorphia and push harmful Eurocentric beauty ideals onto millions of users. We'll break down why chasing "perfect symmetry" is a toxic trap and hear what experts have to say about the mental health fallout.

Get ready for a no-filter conversation that's sharp, thought-provoking, and impossible to ignore!

Are. You. Ready?
