EP - 21 - I see you Australia!

Welcome back, friends!

This week we're packing our bags and getting ready to head to Australia! I hope you're ready.   


After wreaking my brain, researching, and coming up with the same old, regurgitated information, I decided to take a different approach when talking about beauty standards in the 'land down under.'


We're going to take a look at the stories of two very talented young women. We'll delve into their background, their mission, and the message they are spreading in the hopes of changing the way Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are portrayed by breaking down the stereotypes not only in Australia but around the world.  


Let's stop with the racism and stereotypes and celebrate and marvel at how wonderfully diverse humanity is!


Pack your bags. It's going to be a long plane ride!


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.
