Why does looking “effortless” seem to take so much effort today? In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Angeli, Francisca, and ShyTia discuss “Pretty Pressure” and how self-care can become a never-ending checklist filled with expensive routines, changing beauty trends, social media comparisons, and the pressure to chase perfection.

In “Permission Slips,” they explore the freedom that comes from letting go of unrealistic expectations and choosing peace over perfection. From trying to please everyone and comparing timelines to apologizing for resting, the conversation reveals how many of the pressures we carry are ones we can choose to put down.

The hosts also play “Taboo: Women’s Everyday Life,” while ShyTia shares “If You Liked That, Try This: Hidden Gems for Women Who Love Classic Comfort,” featuring heartwarming stories, timeless comedy, mysteries, music, books, and opportunities to create new traditions.
