Has Self-Care Become the New Impossible Beauty Standard?

from Woman Uncaged · host Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to episode 15, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode we discuss self-care...but maybe not in the way that you would think.Self-care has become an unquestioned mandate for women. In some ways, of course it is an improvement over the impossible beauty standards of yesteryear (which were solely externally focused), but in other ways, it has become an extension of them, requiring yet another unattainable level of perfection. There is always more that we could be doing for our wellness, ladies!! Not only can this prevent us from leading big, juicy, and joyful lives (a most natural form of self-care!), it also traps us into constantly focusing on fixing and improving ourselves rather than using our energy to change the culture at large.Support the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
