Join this powerful conversation on beauty as a form of social currency, the future of dating app technology, the paradoxical association between intelligence and appearance, and the shame around discussing beauty. Throughout the episode, you will learn how shifting your mindset about beauty can empower you to break free from fear-based stories and challenge your own subconscious associations of youth and beauty.
Regardless of your gender identity, this episode breaks through the noise and helps identify your own thought patterns, and sheds light on how society has been shaping your own self-esteem. Putting aside generational differences, and stigma surrounding the polarizing topic of beauty as it relates to gender equality, Caneel and Brittany boldly address their own insecurities and how their experience with beauty and aging has transformed over time.
