Listen Later

Lauren Geertsen is back on the show to celebrate the release of her new book, The Invisible Corset: Break Free from Beauty Culture and Embrace Your Radiant Self. Holly and Lauren discuss how to wade through cultural noise to reconnect to your own intuition. Here's what's covered: 

  • Lauren's new book, and her goal to end the cycle of female body hate
  • How cultural expectations make us just as uncomfortable as traditional corsets
  • How Lauren's healing journey opened her eyes to mass manipulation, including mass manipulation in the beauty industry
  • How marketing and sales tactics in the beauty industry mirror common dynamics of psychological abuse
  • A historical glimpse into ever-shifting beauty trends
  • How to differentiate between your true self and your false self
  • Identifying what beauty routines honor (rather than suffocate!) your true self
  • Why we must look beyond the body positivity movement
  • Healing diets vs. intuitive eating: finding your happy place
  • A powerful tool to make important decisions through the lens of freedom
