In this episode, we reflect on what we learned from our previous episode with Anjie Cho from Mindful Design Feng Shui School and Holistic Spaces. We chat about the idea of beauty as an act of witnessing and being seen. What does it mean to "be seen" and how does witnessing others influence the way we think about beauty? Is is possible to be beautiful without being witnessed or seen by others? Is beauty about external validation or something multilayered?
