In this powerful deep-dive, Alexi Panos unpacks the cultural obsession with youth, beauty, and “anti-aging,” and reveals the deeper psychological and nervous system patterns underneath our collective fear of getting older.

With a blend of science, storytelling, somatic wisdom, and real talk, Alexi explores why so many women feel unsafe in their changing bodies — and why chasing youth will always fail us. From plastic surgery becoming an 85-billion-dollar industry, to the explosion of Ozempic, to the rise of body dysmorphia fueled by Instagram and AI filters, she exposes the invisible systems shaping women’s self-worth.

But this isn’t a shame-based conversation.

It’s a reclamation.

You’ll learn why aging is actually a feminine rite of passage, just as profound as the transition from Maiden to Mother — and why most women miss the gifts of this next stage because they’re too busy trying to “get back” to who they used to be.

Alexi breaks down the nervous system science behind self-objectification, trauma, belonging, and the internalized gaze — and teaches why vitality, not beauty, is the true marker of embodied feminine power. You’ll hear why some people are physically beautiful but energetically “dead,” while others who don’t fit society’s beauty standards radiate so much life force that you can’t look away.

This episode gives you a compassionate, shame-free roadmap to healing the inner dialogue of not-enoughness…

So you can stop fighting your body

and start living in it.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why women feel unsafe aging (and the neuroscience behind it)

• The rise of self-objectification and how it hijacks your nervous system

• How social media and filters are rewiring our self-image

• The real reason cosmetic procedures don’t fix enoughness

• The hidden feminine initiation from Mother → Mature Woman

• The difference between beauty and vitality

• How to reclaim your radiance by embracing your humanness
