Today, I am talking with writer Christine Morrison. After working for Olay and Calvin Klein, Christine has become a writer with a mission and purpose to focus on fashion as it relates to our identity and well-being. She writes that she is "committed to exploring and exposing the grey areas that burden us all in fashion, beauty and wellness. Oft through the lens of aging."
Christine wants to help "consumers be informed, not influenced."
Together, she and I wade through the question of how you embrace beauty culture without losing your soul to it, especially as an aging woman.
Specifically, we discuss:
How to apply a “less is more” philosophy to the beauty industry
The parallels between Botox and fillers with exercise and healthy eating
How Christine stepped out of writing for the beauty industry
Exploring the grey areas and paradoxes of beauty and aging
Has youth preserving measures made us afraid of aging?
The privileges of aging
Fashion as a form of identity
How to get your soul back if you sold it to the beauty industry

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
