NAVIGATING OUR UNDOINGS: PRACTICING SELF ACCEPTANCE, THE DANGER IN PACKAGING OUR TRAUMA, PURSUING SELF DISCOVERY, REDEFINING BEAUTY, THE ETHICS OF HAVING INFLUENCE, & MORE WITH MAGGIE GEHLSEN-BURNETT

#79: On today's episode, Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett, creator and podcast host of And World Peace Pod, comes on the podcast to share her story. She shares her experience growing up in pageants, her experience as runner up Miss Iowa, and the identity crisis she went through as she left the pageant world.

The girls get into: how leaving pieces of our identity behind can lead us into a tailspin, the act of putting together a persona of healing before doing the work, the dangers of packaging our trauma, healing the wound of not being chosen, radial self acceptance, the different versions of vulnerability that we can present, making trauma pretty for others, radical self acceptance, the grieving involved in self discovery, defining what self compassion looks like, reparenting ourselves and rewiring our negative thought patterns, redefining true beauty, being comfortable enough in beauty to be critical of it and society’s standards on women, ethics of having influence online, & more.
