In this episode we're looking upstream at the toxic cultural conditions creating the soul sickness that is perfectionism. We explore the social media landscape, beauty ideals, body shame, our aesthetic consumerism and the schism between being vs appearing. The intention of this episode is to open your mind and soften your grip. To have you looking at things differently, telling different stories and asking new, perception-shifting questions. Questions powerful enough to dismantle rigid ideas in your mind. Questions that might serve as a catalyst to quit being so hard on yourself; to stop beating yourself up; to help you relax into this imperfect, impermanent but oh-so-beautiful existence and plant seeds of radical self love.
