28. 3 Things you Need to Know About the Courage to 'Be Yourself'
Marianne Fidel The Podcast
How good would it be if you could spend time with others and just be totally engaged in conversation, laugh confidently, ask questions, speak your mind, and just live in the moment? However, I know that sometimes it’s easier said than done that’s why in this episode, I get raw and real about conversations I’ve had with women this week on the courage to be vulnerable and truly ‘yourself’.
info_outlineIt’s so easy to think that reaching your “beauty goals” such as ideal weight or other “standards” you set for yourself is what’s going to give you the inner peace you’re yearning for.
In this touching interview, Katrina Alvir shares her own beauty journey and how she battled the anxiety that came with constantly setting the “beauty bar” higher and higher.
You don’t want to miss:
- How the “pretty girls” are often just as self-conscious as everyone else.
- How to get off the “beauty treadmill” of constantly setting the beauty bar higher and feeling like you’re not getting anywhere.
- The power of living in the present moment and discovering a deeper purpose in the pursuit of beauty.
Here’s the beauty quote that Katrina referenced at the end of her interview:
“You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you… beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be. You can’t rely on how you look to sustain you. What actually sustains us is what’s fundamentally beautiful, is compassion -- for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”
