In this episode of Psych for Life I am chatting all about The Beauty Load and its potential self-esteem dealing damage, with author and counsellor, Nicole Mathieson. Nicole is a relationship coach, counsellor, couple therapist and author of The Beauty Load. She helps women, men and couples in their intimate relationships both with others and themselves.  

Nicole has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her writing, speaking, podcasts and work as a counsellor. In the therapy room, Nicole sees the Beauty Load's negative impact on self-esteem in real time as she helps her clients grapple with not feeling good enough to be loved.

Listen in to our chat on - 

- how to feel enough in a world obsessed with beauty

- how to find your self-worth despite societal expectations on women

- what is empowerment for women and what does it actually look like

- advice for women who don't feel good enough or beautiful enough to be loved

Plus so much more!
