The Beauty Load Podcast

Hosted by Nicole Mathieson

The pressure of unrealistic beauty standards affects us all — no matter what country, culture or community we live within. A companion to my popular Beauty Load book, this podcast normalises the struggles we feel about our bodies while challenging cultural expectations and high standards.

Through these conversations, I hope to help you feel less alone and lighten the beauty load we all carry, so we can get on with living our lives and being our beautiful, radiant selves.
