Join this powerful conversation on beauty as a form of social currency, the future of dating app technology, the paradoxical association between intelligence and appearance, and the shame around discussing beauty. Throughout the episode, you will learn how shifting your mindset about beauty can empower you to break free from fear-based stories and challenge your own subconscious associations of youth and beauty.
Regardless of your gender identity, this episode breaks through the noise and helps identify your own thought patterns, and sheds light on how society has been shaping your own self-esteem. Putting aside generational differences, and stigma surrounding the polarizing topic of beauty as it relates to gender equality, Caneel and Brittany boldly address their own insecurities and how their experience with beauty and aging has transformed over time.
Explore the impact of the beauty-brains paradox and societal pressures on women’s self-worth and confidence. Discover how conscious leadership and mindset shifts can break free from limiting stories around beauty and aging, empowering individuals to embrace their authentic selves and challenge societal norms.
When you hear the term ‘self-love’, you probably think about bubble baths, chocolate and massages. However, none of those things are truly self-love. In this episode, we break down some barriers that we often have against self-love. We’ll also discuss what self-love actually is and what it could look like for you.
Self-love is inner work. It’s an inner experience of acceptance and appreciation. At the most basic level, self-love is simply asking the questions, “Can I allow myself?” and, “Can I allow myself to be fully here now?” The essence of self-love is 100% allowance of all that is here now. Self-love is at the heart of everything we talk about on this show, and it is at the heart of all genuine, lasting personal growth. Please remember to give yourself the gift only you can give – show yourself some real self-love this Valentine’s Day.
