Taking Our Power Back from Toxic Beauty Standards

from Whimsy World · host Elle Beecher and Cameron Hogan

Ever notice how much energy you spend just trying to look "acceptable"? Elle opens up about recording herself walking around her room to check her back fat, waking up early every day to “put on her face," and the invisible prison most women live in without even realizing it.In this raw conversation, Elle and Cam unpack the 128-point inspection women put themselves through daily, why the beauty standard is a game no one can win, and what happened when Elle started going to McDonald's without makeup on.If you've ever felt trapped by your own reflection, dimmed by the need to look "acceptable," or like you're fooling everyone with your appearance, this conversation might feel like an exhale.Join Our Communities:✨ Apply for ⁠⁠The Board⁠⁠, a curated global network for people who have everything except the right room.✨ Walk with us for 5 miles and meaningful conversations, now in 10+ cities: ⁠⁠www.theboardwalks.com⁠⁠ ✨ Subscribe to ⁠⁠The Friday Debrief⁠⁠ for lightbulb moments from The Board WalksConnect With Elle & Cam:✨ Elle’s newsletter ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠ ✨ Cam’s newsletter ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠✨ Elle Beecher’s ⁠⁠social media⁠⁠ ✨ Cam Hogan’s ⁠⁠social media⁠⁠Explore Whimsy World:✨ Listen on Spotify, Apple, & ⁠⁠all platforms⁠⁠✨ Watch & Subscribe on ⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠✨ ⁠⁠Buy us a spring water⁠⁠ if you enjoy our episodesAbout Your Hosts:⁠⁠Cameron Hogan⁠⁠⁠⁠ is an intuitive healer who helps high-performers shed their limiting beliefs and awaken.
