EP - 11 - Spread some of that positivity

Hey friends, welcome to episode 11!

You all know that I'm about spreading the love, and that's why in this week's episode, I wanted to talk about two different movements.  


First, we're going to discuss the Body Positive Movement.  I'm sure you're no stranger to the world of social media.  I'm sure you've even heard a Ted Talk or two regarding the Body Positive Movement. 


But what exactly is it?  If you ask, everyone will have an answer to what it means to them. 


Join me as we take a closer look and delve into what exactly is the Body Positive Movement, how it all started, and why it's necessary this day in age. 


We'll take a look at Chidera Eggerue, an award-winning British blogger, better known as the Slumflower.  She is the force behind Saggy Boobs Matter, an online movement that challenges the very unrealistic expectations of what breasts should look like. 


I know you want to spread some of that good ole' fashion love! So, head on over to SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND REVIEW us on your favorite podcast apps.


Don't be scared; I don't bite... well, unless you're into that!

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!
Beauty Unlocked The Podcast aims to educate and bring awareness of our society's obsession with physical beauty and the emotional consequences these impossible beauty standards have. Beauty Unlocked's social media platform showcases not only my work but that of other artists, illustrators, and fellow podcasters that I admire and that share a similar message of inspiration, empowerment, positivity, and raising awareness on a variety of social issues.
