What Even IS Beauty? And Why Are We So Obsessed With It?

Description

Beauty is a complex thing. It has a million definitions and means something different to everyone. But one thing's for sure: our society is obsessed with it. On this episode we explore why.


What even IS beauty? Is it subjective or objective (or both)? Do stereotypically "attractive" people succeed more? Why does beauty take up so much mental space, especially for women? How can we put less emphasis on how we look, while still celebrating our own inherent beauty?


While we can't definitively answer these Qs, talking about them feels vulnerable and cathartic. We hope you feel the same listening. And in case anyone hasn't told you today—you're really, really beautiful.
