The Ego in the Mirror: Tattoos, Aging & Belonging

🎙️ Podcast Title: Three Sisters
📌 Episode Title: The Ego in the Mirror: Tattoos, Aging & Belonging

📄 Episode Summary:
In this tender and truth-telling episode, Victoria and Serena unpack the raw, real process of identity transformation when it’s visible on the outside. From letting hair go gray to inking a neck tattoo, they explore what it means to be seen in process—not just after the glow-up, but during the shaky, messy middle.

This is a conversation about ego, image, aging, art, and the permission to be in-between. They reflect on the spiritual lessons of changing form, the projections that come with visibility, and the sacred kink of being misunderstood while still belonging deeply to yourself.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and struggled to accept what’s emerging—or if you’re navigating your own visible evolution—this one’s for you.

🌟 Key Themes & Takeaways
🧬 Transformation is Never Just One Thing
Changing your food, your body, your hair—it all leads to a full-system shift.

🪞 Visible Change Exposes the Invisible Self
The spiritual and emotional stakes rise when your outer world begins to match your inner growth.

🌀 Tattoos & Hair as Spiritual Practice
Both permanence and letting go can be sacred—whether it’s ink or aging.

🌺 Ego Death is a Spiral, Not a Moment
You think you're over it—until the same fear shows up in a new outfit.

🫂 Belonging is an Inside Job
But it’s made real when someone bears witness. We need the mirror of community.
