This is The Guardian.
Today, the increasing pressure to mess with your face.
Today in Focus is supported by Paramount+.
This isn't the end of a fight, it's the start of one.
Lioness, the critically acclaimed original series from Taylor Sheridan, returns August 2nd only on Paramount+.
In the new season, hidden networks, foreign operatives and personal betrayals collide.
Meanwhile, Jo walks the line between duty and family as unseen forces circle her world,
leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life.
Don't miss the new season of Lioness, starring Zoe Saldana and Michael Kelly,
with Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman, streaming August 2nd only on Paramount+.
I've always thought of myself as someone with fairly high self-esteem.
Someone who's more or less at peace with their face, their body, their imperfections.
And yes, there have been times when I've wanted a smaller bum, straighter teeth, longer legs, a less round face.
But by and large, I've accepted how I look and how I've changed as time has gone by.
Recently, though, I've started to wonder if I shouldn't, I don't know, tighten things up a bit, smooth a few things out.
And I don't think it's a coincidence
that these feelings have started to simmer at the same time as podcasts have gone visual.
We filmed today in Focus Now and we put clips on social media.
And I must admit, I was really quite appalled when I saw the first clips of me.
It was so different from these carefully curated selfies that I post on my private account.
