Mindspeak: Holistic Mental Health with Holly Higgins

044: How the Beauty Industry Stifles Our Intuition with Lauren Geertsen

Holly Higgins, NTP

Lauren Geertsen is back on the show to celebrate the release of her new book, The Invisible Corset: Break Free from Beauty Culture and Embrace Your Radiant Self. Holly and Lauren discuss how to wade through cultural noise to reconnect to your own intuition. Here's what's covered: 

  • Lauren's new book, and her goal to end the cycle of female body hate
  • How cultural expectations make us just as uncomfortable as traditional corsets
  • How Lauren's healing journey opened her eyes to mass manipulation, including mass manipulation in the beauty industry
  • How marketing and sales tactics in the beauty industry mirror common dynamics of psychological abuse
  • A historical glimpse into ever-shifting beauty trends
  • How to differentiate between your true self and your false self
  • Identifying what beauty routines honor (rather than suffocate!) your true self
  • Why we must look beyond the body positivity movement
  • Healing diets vs. intuitive eating: finding your happy place
  • A powerful tool to make important decisions through the lens of freedom
