Self-Worth, Bullying & Natural Beauty with Sol Carlos
Episode Overview
- Staying true to yourself, even if it means standing alone, can build deep long-term confidence.
- Therapy and honest self-talk can help separate your identity from online hate and cruel comments.
- Simple daily affirmations on a mirror can gradually shift a negative inner voice towards kindness.
- Body changes, acne, and weight fluctuations are common, and showing them openly can reduce shame for others.
- Parents need to be aware of what their kids say and see online, as even very young children can spread serious abuse on social media.
“If puppies are getting hate, then it's impossible for everyone to get loved.”
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of resilience, body image struggles, and radical self-acceptance. In this conversation, hosts Samantha Senia and Nicole sit down with Miami-based actress and content creator Sol Carlos, whose 7+ million followers know her for being loud, colourful, and unapologetically herself. Sol opens up about being bullied as a child for her quirks and undiagnosed OCD, sharing how she refused to change just to fit in.
As she puts it, she would "rather have no friends, stay alone at recess, but be true to myself." That same attitude now shapes her message to young people facing cruel comments at school or online. The trio talk candidly about body changes, eating disorders, and harsh beauty standards in places like Argentina and American college campuses. Sol and Nicole swap stories about skin issues, birth control, and the shock of adult-onset acne.
You’ll hear how Sol decided to show her bare skin, bloating and all, on social media after people assumed she was pregnant just for having a non-flat stomach. Mental health is a big thread throughout. Sol describes going to therapy, learning to separate her worth from online hate, and using simple daily tools like mirror affirmations and kind self-talk. Her lemon visualisation story makes it clear how powerful your thoughts can be.
She also talks about writing a children’s book about bullying and self-love, created for both kids and their “inner child” parents. This episode will especially resonate with women, teens, parents, and anyone feeling crushed by comparison or comments online. With plenty of humour, warmth, and straight talk, it offers something practical too: ideas for handling cyberbullying, starting honest chats with kids, and learning to like the person you see in the mirror.
What small act of self-kindness could you try today after hearing Sol’s story?
