EP 01 - WTF ANCIENT GREECE?!

This is it, I have finally managed to record the very first podcast episode of Beauty Unlocked.

In this episode, I talk about where the beauty ideal in Western culture stems from, hint hint, you've probably studied his theorem back in high school.  I researched and found some pretty shocking statistical data regarding the negative psychological effects our society's obsession has with these ever-changing beauty standards. 


So, buckle up as I rant and rave a little, and end it by reminding you to spread that magical love and light. 


I've made mistakes along the way as I'm just getting used to the world of recording, editing, and uploading, but bear with me! OH, and props to you if you can count the number of times I say  "basically, um, so, and you guys"!

About the Podcast

Beauty Unlocked the podcast
Buckle up and get ready as I delve into a variety of topics regarding physical beauty.

We'll take a look at our society's obsession with physical beauty and the consequences these impossible beauty standards have had on us.
Let's face it; this fascination regarding physical beauty and body image isn't a recent phenomenon; it has been around for centuries, crossing borders, and has affected men and women alike.
The realization of this podcast has come about by my own experiences having to deal with society's perverse notion of physical "perfection" and researching an array of topics that have intrigued me over the years.

Hey there!
I'm Carissa, host, content creator, and producer of the indie podcast Beauty Unlocked.
Growing up, I was frequently compared and criticized for my looks and weight. This started the vicious cycle of being self-critical and loathing my body. I knew I wasn't the only one suffering from society's ridiculous notion of what "we should look like." I started digging deeper and researching various topics, and the rest is h(er)story!
