Episode 7: Body Image, cosmetic intervention and feeling enough

11/08/24 • 50 min

North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast

Body image is a sensitive subject, but as surgical intervention sky rockets and self-esteem plummets, it feels like an area which needs voicing. We hope that by sharing ideas from yoga and astrology we can shine a light on the root of these compensatory behaviours and offer a new lens to see ourselves, reminding listeners that we are all enough just as we are.
