Don’t Let Toxic Beauty Standards And Expectations Prevent You From Living Your Purpose

Share The Love

“I want to go on video to promote my passion and pursue my life purpose. But I’m feeling angry and frustrated by the double beauty standards requiring women to look perfect and wear makeup. How do I handle this?”

Dear Beautiful Soul,

Thank you for shining a light on this important issue. Please know you’re not alone. Your question gets asked a lot in my circle, and not just by my clients, but my friends too.

Feeling comfortable on camera is a challenge many women face, and every time we talk about the emotional impact of toxic beauty standards for women, we help dismantle unfair expectations about how we should look.

You don’t have to let harmful and unrealistic beauty ideals hold you back from pursuing your life purpose. Here are five steps you can take to overcome this challenge and confidently share your passion with the world.

1. Honor Your Feelings

It’s completely normal to feel angry and upset about double beauty standards. Anger is an important emotion that signals when something feels painful or unjust.

In this case, your anger is highlighting how much you care about equality and fairness. Accepting your feelings is the first step toward addressing them and finding a way forward that aligns with your soul values.

2. Find Inspiring Role Models

Take inspiration from the brave women who are challenging traditional beauty standards. In recent years, I’ve seen a number of successful women appearing on YouTube without wearing any makeup or looking perfectly groomed.

Anytime a woman challenges beauty expectations, it gives other women permission to do the same. Surrounding ourselves with inspiring role models reminds us that we can actually build strong connections with our audiences simply by being our authentic selves.

3. Start Small

If you're not ready to completely let go of beauty standards, that’s perfectly okay. For most of us, it takes time to gradually build the confidence to embrace our natural selves on camera.

Start with small steps, like skipping eyeliner or choosing a simpler hairstyle, and allow yourself to progress at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

4. Address Your Inner Critic

Know that your inner critic is going to come up. It does for all of us. But it doesn’t have to control you. Whenever it arises, ground yourself in the truth that you are enough just as you are.

Make space to connect with the part of you that knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that what truly matters is the value you bring to your audience, not whether certain people approve of your physical appearance.

5. Find Expert Coaching & Community Support.

Your life purpose and passion really matter. Working directly with a personal coach who can expertly guide, support, and encourage you on your journey can empower you to feel more confident and get your message out sooner.

If it resonates, book an individual coaching session with me or sign up for my group coaching program for open-hearted women on a mission. Connecting with a community of like-hearted women who are bravely confronting similar issues can be incredibly inspiring and motivating.

We're All Cheering For You!

Remember, beautiful soul, the goal is to share your passion and connect with your audience. Your authenticity and the message you’re passionate about will shine through more brightly than any makeup ever could.

Embrace your journey and let your true self be seen.

Love & Light Always,

Vanessa Areli (aka Modern-Day Fairy Godmother)
