If there’s a better way to get back at your school bully than by inadvertently hooking up with his sister… we haven’t found it yet.It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that this week’s episode contains adult themes and strong language.This week, we’re diving into the messy world of external validation — where it starts, why we chase it, and how it ends up quietly shaping our perception of body image, and how we see ourselves.From school bullies, to the Instagram comparison trap, and realising how much a small bit of kindness can actually mean — we’re getting into all of it.We also share an incredible listener story about overcoming body image struggles, self-sabotage, and finding their way back to self-acceptance.It’s a heavy one in parts, but there’s plenty of laughter too — because if you can’t laugh at yourself...As usual, disclaimer: we're not psychologists or psychiatrists, nor do we have anything to sell. We're just two guys who think this sort of thing doesn't get spoken about enough, and it silently damages us all.We hope you enjoy this episode in the way it was intended: a little bit of sincere introspection, that helps other guys realise they're not alone, with a few laughs chucked in along the way.Big love,Tim & JxGet in touch!
