Embracing Aging: Breaking Up With Societal Beauty Standards - with Lee Zavorskas

Are you excited about getting older? Ordering a drink when you turn 21 is exciting, and renting a car at 25 is sort of cool…but how many of us truly embrace aging? For a lot of us, the idea of getting older is something we either avoid thinking about or maybe even downright fear.  And society isn’t helping. Today I’m talking with Lee Zavorskas about: 1. What she’s noticed as a Holistic Esthetician about the collective opinion on aging. 2. How society is pressuring people, and most often women, to somehow not age. And how that’s screwing us up.  3. Ways we can rebel against unrealistic beauty standards by choosing to embrace, not erase our faces. 4. How to handle ignorant comments about our aging bodies. 5. And why getting older is actually really fucking awesome. About Lee: Lee Zavorskas is a Holistic Esthetician and the owner of Holistic Skin + Tonics. With trainings from the best in the Holistic Industry, her approach is “less is more” with an age embracing mindset. Her work is centered on a no BS approach and “Embracing not Erasing Faces.” Website: holisticskinandtonics.com [https://www.holisticskinandtonics.com/] IG: @holisticskin_and_tonics [https://www.instagram.com/holisticskin_and_tonics/] Follow along @unforgettingpodcast on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/unforgettingpodcast/]
