395: I Hate My Face

Trigger Warning: This reading may be upsetting, as issues related to ED, cultural standards around beauty, ugliness, and other sensitive self-worth issues are addressed in this episode. Listener discretion is advised. What do you do when the root cause of most of your anxiety is your face? A listener who works as an actor wants to untangle her understanding of beauty. She joins Jessica for an investigation of her own thoughts about what it means to be beautiful, ugly, or even deformed. They discuss cosmetic surgery and the internalization of cultural standards. 🔮 Learn with Jessica, get her book and your free weekly horoscope at https://www.lovelanyadoo.com/ 👀 Track transits like a pro!
