OUTWEIGH: In the final episode of our series, Leanne sits down with Natalie Borrell of Life Success for Teens to tackle one of the biggest pitfalls facing today’s youth: the constant battle for external validation. With social media, peer pressure, and cultural standards all shouting for attention, teens’ developing brains are especially vulnerable to body comparisons, perfectionism, and crippling self-doubt. In this episode, Natalie and Leanne break down how these external ideals can distort self-image and push teenagers toward dangerous habits with food and beyond.

They also share actionable strategies for flipping the script—focusing on inner growth, values, and resilience rather than the quick-fix highs of likes, followers, or fitting a narrow beauty standard. The result? When teens learn to stand in their own worth, the pull to “measure up” fades, and the need to chase approval through their body or appearance naturally loses its grip. If you want to see your teen thrive with genuine self-confidence, rather than frantic comparison-itis, don’t miss this conversation.
