EP - 18 - Sexualization and objectification of women in modern times

Welcome, my love buckets!

In this week's episode, I dive right in. 


We talk about the sexualization and objectification of women in modern times, and how deeply ingrained it is in our every day lives, that most of the time we are unaware of it.  I know it's deep.  So deep, that I've decided to make it a three-parter.  


We look at how sexualization and objectification are defined and the effects they have on women and young girls.  We follow it with two fascinating articles that shed even more light on the objectification of women and how we are all guilty of such behavior.  Side note, although we're not entirely to blame as we're taught from a very early age, it's up to us to right the wrongs and be more aware of how our society and culture propagate these ideas.  


For change to happen around us, we must change what's going on within us.


OH DAMN! That's deep! 


Are. You. Ready?

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.
