This episode begins with body image, diet culture and the value we place on ourselves with the number on the scale. In this episode we talk about reconstructing definitions that have been defined for us or those that we are reconsidering as we journey through our forties.

In this episode we begin by discussing the manipulation of our hair, the perceptions we carry and the identity we create. As the discussion continues we discover it's not just so much more than hair. It's a lesson, I think, for how you can be more free and accepting and become closer to what is your higher self. We deep dive into manipulation and control versus freedom and liberation. Can you find contentment and a balance between manipulation and control? And is the answer in how it makes you feel or the perception of others? The balance is in the intention we have. With the goal of living in a way where you are connected to the intention of the act that you're doing and that intention connects you to your highest self.

In this episode we talk about an exercise Shakira has in her morning routine that identifies her mood and how she's feeling. Rather than this feeling being about what you think it "should" be, how can we articulate our feelings and just allow them to be as they are? As we define our feelings we talk about taking action from a space of love and confidence rather than fear and the "shoulds" that don't belong to you. We hope you enjoy this exercise and we invite you to explore your feelings.Thanks friends for being part of the conversation.
