    #163: Feeling Desirable When The World Has Beauty Standards (Guided Workshop)
    Apr 8 2025

    How do we believe in our worth, when the world around you is spiritually low-consciousness and operates on beauty standards? Let's keep it real today- In this "workshop style" episode, I’m guiding you through the fine line between what's "reality", and what a new shifting perspective on beauty is. We’ll explore four powerful journal prompts to help you tell the difference between real beauty and aesthetics, craving attention vs. craving connection, and how to find peace in being truly loved for who you are.

    When you lost your father's love, you also lost your mother. In today's mind-blowing episode, I break down the unique dynamic of having an absent father and a depressed mother at the same time.

Loved it so far.

I've listened to a few of the episodes so far and more than a couple have spoken to me. I'm going to try and listen to a couple episodes a day and work on the things in the episodes. ❤️❤️

Some good info, could be better

So far I’m on episode 8 of the podcast, and I have mixed feelings about it.

Pros:
- Good insights about how upbringing may affect our lives and thought / behavior patterns
- Might be useful for people who didn’t realize these things already

Cons:
- The host focuses too much on her own experiences. While that can be helpful, a lot of times I find that I don’t relate to her experience, and I wish she would provide a wider variety of examples how an issue can manifest in different kinds of people. For example, episode 8 focuses on perfectionism, but centers entirely on wanting person’s looks to be “perfect”. I don’t think that’s how perfectionism manifests for everyone (certainly doesn’t for me), so it wasn’t relatable.
- The “action items” are sometimes vague / not clearly defined, and a lot of times just come back to “just love yourself and tell yourself you’re enough”. This is the main reason I’m listening to the podcast. I already understand how my childhood affected me, but want to learn how to live past it. But so far the podcast has been heavier on explanation, but lighter on the actual “healing” part.
- The host is asking the listeners to leave a 5-star review in order to get some free materials, which I feel is a somewhat shady tactic. It would have been better to ask to leave an honest review, no matter the rating
- Not really a “con”, more of a pet peeve, but the overly upbeat infomercial-style intro (“Are YOU really to heal the child within?!!!”) is a bit cringe-worthy, no matter how much I try to self-analyze to figure out if “it’s not the intro, it’s me”. But I do think it’s the intro. My guess is that people seeking this type of podcast might be in some emotional distress and looking for a way to help themselves, so it feels jarringly out of place.

I’m still giving it 4 stars, because I don’t want to turn people away who may really need it. If you’re wondering whether your problems can be tied to your childhood, I think this will definitely be very insightful for you,

If you’re like me, and have some understanding of your childhood trauma, you mileage may vary. If you’re “lucky” I’m that you have very similar experiences to the host, maybe you’ll get more out of it. But so far for me it’s not resonating that much, and I feel like it could focus more on the tools and techniques for healing.

"Train for 110 percent"

I love this! The idea of going beyond what you think you can do is the attitude of a winner! It is so inspiring to hear stories from people who have experienced so much pain and then to hear the success of changing their stories into victories. It takes such strength. Thank you for sharing your stories in this Podcast. It is brave and beautiful and bold. ❤️. It has been an honor to hear your words.

karma

Wow, I've always felt like karma was kicking my ass, but couldn't pinpoint who I'd hurt to earn it. It was me. Bending over backwards to please everyone was hurting me...and I've gotten bad karma for not treating myself well for a long time.
