#211 - The Beauty Load of Motherhood with Nicole Mathieson - a podcast by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Our appearance is one aspect of who we are, it is not all of who we are and throughout the journey of matresence there is still a fuzzy line which is delivered as our body undergoes significant changes and levels of acceptance. My guest today is Nicole Mathieson who has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her writing, speaking, podcasts and work as a counsellor. In her book, The Beauty Load, Nicole explains our personal perception of our beauty, or the lack of it, can make us feel anything from numb to anxious, stressed and ashamed, and at worst like we don’t belong and that we are not worthy of being loved. Listen as Amy and Nicole extend the conversation and discuss:

• Seeing ourselves to feel a sense of acceptability and representation to belong.
• Generational changes and cultural messages which are still embedded in us, even as we unveil and uncover different versions of beauty.
• Opening up conversations about the beauty load and each other in order to dismantle our own isolation and heal through conversations.
• Talking to our sons and daughters in a way which is less knee jerk and unintentionally dismissive and much more understanding, accepting and healing for us all.

Nicole and Amy uncover so much in this insightful conversation in order to rethink how we approach many of our unconscious and rooted beliefs.

There needs to be a change in the way mothers are valued and seen in our society. We are here to spread the whispers of Matrescence together.
