Poisonous Affairs: Was the King Promiscuous?

Welcome, my loves!

I'm taking you back to 17th-century France. It's all about King Louis XIV in this episode. He was king for 72 years, the longest reign in the history of France.

You're probably asking yourself, "what did he get up to in all those years?"

Let's say that the Sun King had an eye for the ladies. He fathered over ten children with his many mistresses, had a brief affair with his sister-in-law, and secretly married his last mistress after his wife, who happened to be his cousin on both sides, Maria Theresa of Spain, died.

I know that's quite a lot of bedroom activity! In our first February special episode, let's look at some key players in the Sun King's love life.

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.
