Getting Used To It: Still Waiting on Your Body to Let You Be Happy? Don’t.
Manage episode 495076962 series 3556198
What if your physical appearance is the least interesting thing about you? This revolutionary perspective forms the heart of our exploration into Anuschka Rees’ Beyond Beautiful. We dive into how body image can dominate self-worth, why beauty standards are culturally constructed, and how women—especially in midlife—can begin to reclaim their energy. Through honest stories and practical tools, we explore the power of body neutrality and the freedom of focusing on who you are beyond the mirror.
