Have you ever paused to question why so much of society's value is placed on the youthful face of a woman? The makeup and skincare ads alone are enough to confirm this idea. But why do we see age as something to hide rather than embrace?

In this episode, I’m unraveling the narratives that keep us trapped in fear of aging—an endless pursuit of external beauty that can consume our minds, bodies, and souls.

This isn’t just about wrinkles or gray hair. It’s about how we, as women, have been conditioned to believe that our worth is determined by how pleasing we are to the world—how ageless, how perfect, how “princess-like” we remain. But what if we challenged that notion? What if we embraced the wisdom and strength that comes with age, stepping into our roles as queens, confident and radiant from the inside out?

In this episode, I’m talking about:

• Why the princess fears aging.

• The pressures of the male gaze.

• How patriarchal standards influence women to believe that their value lies in their appearance.

• The dangers of obsessive beauty practices.

• Breaking the cycle and questioning societal norms.

If you’re tired of playing by rules that weren’t written for you, and you’re ready to redefine what it means to be a powerful, authentic woman, then I invite you to listen to this episode. Because it’s time to let go of the princess and crown the queen within.
