Embracing YOUR Face: Kat Parks joins us to chat about expression, aging, and the freedom to be seen

What if the lines on your face aren’t flaws to fix, but stories to honor?

Kat Parks is back on the Nearly Enlightened Podcast, and this time we’re diving deep into Face Freedom—her revolutionary approach that moves way beyond traditional face yoga. This isn’t about chasing youth or smoothing out every wrinkle. It’s about reconnecting with your natural expression, releasing long-held tension, and rewriting the narrative around beauty and aging.

Most of us are walking around totally disconnected from our faces—holding tension in our jaws, clenching around our eyes, barely breathing—and we don’t even realize it. Kat helps us tune back in as she explains how these unconscious patterns not only shape how we look, but also how we feel and how we show up in the world.

This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim your face—not the one you had ten years ago, and not the one a filter says you should have—but the one that’s here now. The one that reflects your truth, your joy, your vitality.

We talk about:

• Why face yoga is about so much more than appearance—it supports lymphatic flow, emotional regulation, and nervous system health
• How cultural messaging and the beauty industry condition us to fear aging and distrust our natural looks
• Why vitality and joy are more magnetic than perfection
• The rise of injectables and filters—and how they subtly disconnect us from our bodies and emotions
• How to gently begin a face awareness practice, without pressure or shame
• What it means to be truly expressive, embodied, and free

This conversation is part truth-telling, part soul medicine, and part loving wake-up call to not just accept yourself, but to LOVE yourself. Whether you're face yoga curious or just ready to stop fighting your reflection, this one’s for you.
