Farrah then highlighted the various comments she heard from people online regarding her plastic surgery, stating:

"I took out my chin implant and for some reason people always go back and compare "Farrah looks great like this" with the face that had a chin implant, a swollen nose from a surgery. I was actually really depressed"

She continued by explaining why she believed that year to be "the lowest point" in her life, claiming:

"It's like a face dysmorphia. Like when you have body dysmorphia, I had that at that time, when I had that chin implant. So for people to say "Oh we love Farah better then when I was definitely like anti-myself... That was just like way too much, so I love my face now. I love who I am. I love coming back to myself"

"I learned so much about consent culture, and leading with that, and allowing someone to have their will, their rights, their freedoms. I think that's just very important on maybe the littlest things like a piercing or tattoos and so I'm just again those three things: Seen, Safe, and Supported, that's all I need to be for my child," Farrah said.

Farrah Abraham then revisited her childhood and her relationship with her parents, claiming that her mother called her a "witch" for wanting to get a rhinoplasty, which is plastic surgery that restructures one's nose.

She explained the need for having "self-worth" and not seeking validation from other people, especially in the entertainment industry, stating:

"I know that that doesn't give anyone self-worth like feeling worthy. You know if you have fame or if you have anything, your self-worth needs to be built up so that you are not vulnerable for other things. Like I was very much predatored on and still dealing with some of those problems, so I'm just trying to set up a next generation to have that safe place."

While speaking on their relationship, Sophia corrected her mother's notion of her being part of the "emo sub-culture" by claiming she's "goth." The TikTok star continued by explaining the difference between the two subcultures, stating:

"I do know that there is many types of goths out there like traditional goth and regular goth, but emo is like regular dark clothes and accessories. I mean today I'm kind of emo cause I didn't want to go all out. But goth is like black dresses, corsets, and lots of jewelry, sometimes belts. I follow a lot of goth people on Tik Tok and they are so cool. I admire them"
