inner beauty

Venturing beyond the surface, I, Jolene Whiting, invite you to a heartfelt exploration of the labyrinth that is self-worth in an age where external approval seems to be the currency. We unravel the delicate threads of inward validation versus the alluring yet controversial world of cosmetic surgery, blending personal insights with the truth that real beauty and confidence spring from within.

As your guide through this intimate journey, I'll share a narrative close to my heart about a friend's battle with self-esteem and how an unexpected dance around a pole revealed more than just physical strength—it uncovered a path to authentic self-empowerment. We'll confront the societal pressures that tempt us towards the surgeon's scalpel, dissect the illusion that happiness is a mere nip and tuck away, and reflect on the role of 'mini-addictions' in shaping our self-image. Join me as we champion the transformative power of self-acceptance, and discover together how wellness practices can be the compass leading us to genuine self-love and empowerment.

Let me start by saying there has always been high standard of what society deems as ‘beautiful’. This standard placed a lot of pressure on women to fit the bill and it was our job to make sure we did our best to look like the Hollywood beauties. Now, I grew up in the 70’s where Farrah Faucet & Sophia Loren were the measure to live up to! Talk about the pressure! Not only that but how this affected women – our self-esteem and our relationships and in some cases, still affects us today!

In my podcast we will discuss the definition culture places on women and pressure of being beautiful; we’ll share Abbey’s story of how it affected her life. Lastly, we will provide 3 Tips to Love the skin You’re In. Join my guest Abbey Heagney and I as we unpack the stigma as well as tips to move forward. This way you can leave the cultural standard behind and live a life accepting and loving the skin you are in!!!
