72. Unraveling Beauty, Consumerism, and Enoughness


Listen Later

In this episode I share my own journey from feeling like beauty was “shallow” to realizing it is sacred. Along the way we unravel:

How Big Beauty thrives on shame, scarcity, and impossible standards

  • The difference between natural consumption and the frenzy of consumerism
  • Why excess is actually scarcity in disguise
  • How capitalism and commerce aren’t inherently the enemy but it’s our relationship with them that matters
  • How to start untangling your own relationship with beauty as conditional worth
  • I also leave you with pointed questions: an invitation to go deeper with yourself around beauty, scarcity, and consumerism. This is big, lifelong work, but it’s where the shift begins.
