In this episode I chat again with dear friend Vickie (who also works in the skincare industry) about aging gracefully and what this looks like in a world where beauty can be marketed with unrealistic ideals! We cover topics from skincare essentials and actives, what really matters in our skincare routine, the mindset that is healthy for us to adopt as women when it comes to aging. Beauty from inside out. Taking our power back as consumers in the cosmetic industry by voting through what we consume and where we choose buy our products from. Let's align our values with our purchasing behaviour and not be dictated to by marketing that can remind us that we are not enough.

I hope you enjoy the discussion on this topic and as always I'd love to hear your thoughts too!

We love Beauty. 

We are inundated by media's definition of Beauty. 

We turn to what's familiar and cultur's idea of Beauty ...versus seeking out the bizarre, different, odd, or strange.

We are trained early to see beauty, especially in women, as being small, young, sweet, sexy and similar.  Similar?  Yes, to what we know, what we are comfortable with.  What we've grown up seeing or being told is beautiful.  Each culture has its own Beauty standards.  So, finding something (or being someone) other that what we were trained to believe is "beautiful", makes us feel different from our family, friends, society...Think about all the "beautiful people" on the covers of magazines, on Facebook or Instagram feeds, or TV.

So, how can we feel Beautiful?  Truly in love with our looks as well as our Shining Hearts & Souls?  AND, be Unique.  Standing out in our Brilliance? 

Authentic Beauty is standing in our Fullness, our Wholeness, in our Powerful Body, while unapologetically sharing our intellectual and intuitive creative selves with the world.  It's knowing, deep down, that we are Enough.  Perfectly imperfect and gorgeous, just by BE-ing Real.  It's caring so much for our inner and outer self that our Radiance glows...we are vibrant, magnetic, attractive and fully Sovereign.  We don't need anyone else or anything else to make us Whole.

Let's dive in.  This is a big one for many of us Women.  And, an important part of becoming an Authentic Leader, A Woman of Presence, A Woman of Substance.
