Beauty Sick by Renee Engeln with Vania Phitidis Part 2

This is the second part of my interview with Vania Phitidis about Beauty Sick. This book was so good and so eye-opening that I could not cut any of it. In this episode we continue our discussion and cover:

• The importance of having support on a body acceptance journey
• What Beauty Sick means
• The cause and perpetrators of beauty sickness
• The negative power of symbolic annihilation
• How social media perpetuates the cycle of body monitoring
• The inversion effect and how this impacts the way we see women
• What we can do to combat beauty sickness
• How media literacy is not actually helpful
• How being a feminist is not protection against beauty sickness
• The reason why body connection is so important
