External beauty, let’s face it, is big business in our culture today! And it is filtering over into every phase of our lives--even affecting our relationships. We are a society being lulled into expectations of external perfection. Recent studies have found that women are obsessed with their looks. And that obsession is fueling our anxiety, depression, comparisons and competition with others; increasing insecurity, jealousy, and elevating moments of and not so noticeable incidences of anger and resentment.
This episode invites each of us to think about how society's obsession with how we look is affecting our mental health and offers guidance on how to combat the pitfalls toward external perfection.
