Meet Andrea, 29, single mom and Lasik assistant, living in Westminster, Colorado. Andrea is self-conscious about her nose, hair, breast size and especially her skin. She has a bad case of acne that started when she was in her early twenties. When she looks in the mirror she sees the memories and scars of all the hurtful names she's been called in her life. Her boyfriend, Brian, describes her as either bubbly or depressed. Andrea's afraid her insecurities will adversely affect her own life as well as the life of her young son, Zachary. She believes her relationship with Brian will ultimately end if she doesn't get a handle on her emotions forcing Zachary to grow up without a father in the home.

Meet Cindy, 32-year-old mom from San Diego, California. Cindy grew up in a small town with a big nose. In her elementary school Halloween program she was chosen to play the witch and that's how she's felt about herself ever since.

After pregnancy, everything changed - her body widened and drooped and her face grew unwanted hair. Cindy wants her sex life to go from blah to chick-a-bang! Next, meet Tawnya, 40-year-old mother from Colorado. In the past three years, Tawnya has endured a number of painful, life-changing events. Her brother was killed in a tractor accident, her husband asked for a divorce and she was laid-off from work. She feels like an old lady at forty.
