Midlife Muse: Things Your Mother Never Told You24 Sep 2025

Beauty Absurd EP 54

The beauty industry is out of control.

Women are being sold an endless stream of shame disguised as "solutions." When did being a woman become something to fix? When did our natural bodies become the enemy?

In this candid and fiery conversation, my COO Diana joins me as we unpack some of the most absurd, dangerous, and heartbreaking trends being marketed to women today. Together, we laugh, rage, and call bullshit on the cult of beauty that profits from our self-doubt.

Inside this episode, we also discuss:

Why the chase for "eternal youth" has become both grotesque and dangerous.
The porn culture fueling procedures that rob women of their humanity.
The double standard: endless products telling women they're broken, while men remain untouched.
Why complying with beauty absurdities keeps us complicit in our own objectification.
The radical truth that your body - every wrinkle, every line, every curve - is already worthy.

Behind the absurdity is a sobering reality: beauty culture was never created to honor women, but to profit from our insecurities.

I hope this episode inspires you to see the absurdity for what it is - and to choose reverence for your own body instead. No more fixing. No more apologizing. Just you. Whole. Sacred. Enough.

If this conversation stirred something inside you, share it.
And if you're ready to lay down the impossible standards once and for all, come join me at MAGNETIC.

Your freedom is waiting.
