EP - 68 - Hating our body is learned behavior

Welcome, Friends!

If you've been listening to Beauty Unlocked for some time, you've realized that I'm all about bringing to light how hating our body is a learned behavior. For this week's episode, I found two insightful articles I wanted to share. The first article was written by Jennifer Rollin, a therapist who specializes in helping adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, anxiety, and depression.

The Second article I came across is from Stylist.co.uk, where they asked their staff about their thoughts on weight. It struck a chord with me, as many of their experiences are similar to mine.

Trigger Warning: The second article discusses eating disorders, weight loss, and calories.

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.
