Lisa and Natalie Madsen dive into Chapter 3, "From Self-Objectification to Self-Actualization" from More Than a Body by Drs. Lindsay & Lexie Kite. Natalie reflects on her experience as an actress and comedian on sketch comedy TV show Studio C through three pregnancies, and the the subtle messaging that made physical appearance feel so pivotal to success.

Lisa and Natalie talk candidly about their own "beauty work" and how they keep the pressure to look good from taking over lasting personal happiness.
