EP - 12 - There are things we can not control

Howdy hi, friends, and welcome to a brand new episode of Beauty Unlocked!

Last week's episode was all about the body-positive movement, and Chidera Eggerue's viral hashtag Saggy Boobs Matter. 


In this episode, we take a look at how the body-positive movement is challenging and changing the face of an industry that has spent far too many years slimming waists, chiseling faces, and blurring skin;  we're talking about Stretch Marks.


We look at what they are, how common they are, and we also take a look at how some women feel about stretch marks in general. 


You all know that I'm about the real, raw, and often unfiltered, and this episode is all about that!


I want to hear from you! What are your opinions on stretch marks? Do you think we should show our "tiger stripes" proudly, or do you think that it's better to cover up!


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


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.
