## Resource

I’m all about people being able to do whatever they want with their bodies and their faces, and I think that the hot girl era is coming to an end. I think that we're entering our ugly girl era, and there's some really convincing science as to why this is about to happen. Today, we get into the 3 factors that led us to this tipping point, what we're going to consider beautiful next as a society, and what you can do with all of this so you can feel as good as possible in your face, your skin, and your body. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • Why the "hot girl era" is ending • The sneaky way social media has made beauty feel like a full-time job • How scarcity secretly drives what we find attractive (and why that's shifting) • Why making "perfection" available to everyone actually devalues it • What AI has to do with the rise of imperfection as a status symbol • How to stop playing a beauty game that keeps moving the goalposts • Why your "flaws" might soon be your most valuable features • A surprisingly liberating way to think about your body, your face, and how you show up in the world Check out our NEW YouTube Channel with tons of YouTube exclusive Shorts, exclusive podcast content, and full video episodes: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LizMoodyTV⁠ Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
