"If your goal is to help women feel more confident and engage more meaningfully with the world, telling them they are beautiful it’s not the way to do it. Nonetheless, many well-meaning campaigns rest on the assumption that simply hearing someone tell us that we are beautiful can alter our self perceptions (and our definitions of beauty) so that we are always pleased with our reflections. That’s why we see "You're beautiful!" on signs and billboards or written on post-it’s stuck to bathroom mirrors. There’s a part of us that wants to believe those words are magic bomb for women.
Yet, even when commentary on a woman’s appearance is meant to be a compliment, it still reminds her that her appearance is being monitored. It brings to mind that ever present out-of-reach-beauty-ideal-body-monitoring almost never results in positive outcomes for women or girls, even if it’s triggered by a "feeling good ad" suggesting that all women are beautiful"

Beauty Sick

07/12/2021

Our bodies require a constant balancing act, especially as a woman. Unlike men, we don't run a 24 hr cycle, rather, we work on a 28 day cycle (like the moon) and during that cycle we experience a flux of hormones that in turn affects things like our skin, our moods, our sleep etc. Yet, we live out our lives in a very 24-hr cycle way (thanks to capitalism and the industrial revolution, and it wasn't always this way!) So it's only natural that we tend to stray from our bodies natural cycles in efforts to keep up.
✨ enter beauty industry. ✨
Selling us the idea (or feeling) that with something like a simple eye cream, we can look "fake awake" to look the part rather than encouraging what it is we really might need... like "to rest" more instead of always being what is considered productive. But then again what is the beauty industry if not physical??

🌟 NEW EPISODE🌟 🎧 Beauty is Busted. The gig is up - beauty can't get away without the deeper understanding and questions of WHY something exists such as an idealization or product anymore (and what even for?! or who we should say...) In this cast we explore the ways in which the industry re-sells back to us things we are capable of experiencing and creating for ourselves just to turn around to make a profit. After centuries of defining how beauty should be represented and / or maintained, it's time to take a closer look at it's 'given' meanings and understand more just how it impacts us on a daily basis.

“because the beauty ideal for women represented in media images is largely unattainable, social comparisons provide endless opportunities for women to feel they are falling short. Social comparisons tend to happen quickly and automatically so they’re difficult to stop, even with conscious effort.
A process we all engage in, part of human nature is that we are motivated to know where we stand on a variety of different characteristics. Sometimes we have objective information available, like a score on the test. But for most of the characteristics that interest us, we don’t have that type of data. Instead, we only rely on informational comparisons with others to figure out where we stand. If you want to know how kind you are, you probably think of people you know and people you see in the media and get a sense of where your kindness falls in relative to theirs. If you want to know how physically attractive you are, you do the same thing.”

it starts in your head, not in your mirror.

06/09/2021

The only way to create real change is to let go of the fallacy that we can be saved or rescued by a certain product or certain material item leading the thought that it will somehow create a deeper connection with our self
The only way we can truly move forward is instead of buying into markets & opinions that create problems for social services to fix and counteract. It's about investing in a new system that supports us in sustaining our alignment so that everyone can thrive and that means, learning to reorganize obstacles into opportunities.

How do we begin to make decisions that aren’t influenced by the collective? No matter what we choose, we will always be influencing in return in one way or another.
We are experiencing this more than ever in today’s world; the pressures that drives the collectives narrative but it’s important to always go back to the self and body’s intuition and understand what is best for YOU.
Who knows you better than you anyway?

“I know as a woman I’m supposed to be afraid of getting older but I love this s**t so much. Every year I sink deeper into this bath of unapologetic real ness and it’s amazing.”

You’re doing too much.

Is a statement we rarely ever tell ourselves. More like “you’re not doing enough…”

When will it be enough? What is enough? Society teaches us to value progression and productivity, which can impact our values. But it’s time we eliminate what we ‘should’ be doing according to society and understand that we already are doing so much more by simply ‘being’.

sometimes we just need those reminders that by existing we already are enough and we are already ‘doing’ enough. By simply loving, we are enough. You are enough.

26/07/2021

Because, you’re worth it 💁🏻‍♀️ right? 🤣 or because it’s something that has been paired as necessity for “being a modern woman”.

The beauty industry takes home a whopping $483 billion in 2020 and how are we feeling ladies!? Like our most expensive and satisfied selves? Or like we still have lots to do before we’re…..”done” or deemed “beautiful” through our physical exterior?

How can “beauty” - something that is a part of our essence as human beings naturally by simply just existing, turn into one of the biggest leading and most successful industries!?

✨New Episode✨🎧 Available Now! [Link in Bio 👉🏼] WHY beauty matters.

06/07/2021

It always surprises me when I find out how many women feel insecure going anywhere without makeup, then I realized that I too am that woman.
Even if not everywhere I go - I have caught myself feeling more secure if I were to change my appearance to be ‘minimally’ accepting during simple errands even.
But how does one draw the line between wearing makeup for ourselves or others? and where does this line even begin or stop anyway?

It’s facile to think that no one is making us buy therefore use these products in the first place, take a look now - even the terms “natural and organic” have taken over the beauty industry where you can BUY your way into being natural again 🤣😂

The more we learn about ourselves the more we realize how little we actually need and how whole we are to begin with. Not “you can be Natural when you do or get X,Y and Z”

Natural is in, yes, but under what circumstances?

How do women learn to accept their natural beauty when bombarded with tricks, tips and solutions that will either “improve, prevent or correct” produced flaws that keep them from feeling secure with being ‘Natural’

I’m curious what does natural even mean to you these days? Is it even under the same umbrella as authenticity anymore

...and in that connection is where true inner peace & beauty resides 💫

“...Because for a Woman, it’s hard to ignore the power and magnitude her body has - that she has. Because her story is every woman’s story. And despite it all, I don’t know any woman who isn’t worthy of her strength, courage and imagination. Who isn’t capable of being the high and holy, healing damage control the world aches for right now.” 📝 by: Tanya Markul

Don’t be Beautiful. 📝 you keep saying that Beautiful is something that a girl needs to be. But honestly! Forget that. Don’t be beautiful. Be intelligent, be witty, klutzy, be talented - There are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful.
and what is beautiful anyways other than a set of letters strung together to make a word? Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful. By Nikita Gill artwork by:

Can you think of people who don't fit all of the beauty ideals or come anywhere close to them and are still successful, in loving relationships, respected, strong, confident, happy, healthy or otherwise admirable to you?
The reality is, we all face repercussions from being objectified whether or not we choose to participate and buy into those ideals. However, opting out of the endless fight to gain our worth through our beauty will not protect us from all the harms of our objectifying culture, but it can protect us from the toll that self-objectification has on our lives and allows us to be our fully realized selves.
The unrealistic nature of being skinny and pretty and the very real nature of our aging - changing human bodies renders the currency of beauty of little value for any lasting period. It can be taken away as freely as it was given.

You come in to this world alone, and you leave this world alone. At the end of the day, you're all you have and life is too short to be spent in battle with yourself.
It's can be really hard to be everything for everyone let alone even be there sometimes for yourself.
Be sure to take the rest and time you need to nurture and care for yourself today and everyday. You are beyond worthy of even just 10 minutes in any expression that speaks to you.
Do you like to dance? Then put on ONE song and let go
Do you like to read? Put an alarm on your phone for 10 minutes for a mental break
Do you like nature? go outside and ground with a meditation or walk or sun soak.
Do you like food? Get a healthy snack and eat it mindfully.

Take a minute to fill your cup and befriend yourself closely. Because remember, we're all we've got. 😘

🌟 NEW EPISODE🌟 🎧 Growing Older....[I'm actually turning 31 2morrow 🥳]
and this is a short 10 minute episode sharing my thoughts about the past year, and last night as 30 years old. Forever and ever!!! As well as reflections on my past 6 months of A Girl Should Be Podcast! 😍 I'm so excited that this is almost the 25th episode already

If you don't have a chance (or didn't) to tune in with me, I do mention that moving forward I'm going to be posting more intuitively opposed to regulated on a schedule as I feel like where I am with my life currently it just makes sense for me! However I'm still active daily on my personal account as well as you can find me on TikTok and YouTube. So, instead of expecting an episode every Wednesday at 5pm, it could be once, twice, three or more times a month!
Lastly,
I'm excited to bring in more knowledge and information moving forward on how we can connect to our bodies on a deeper level (i.e. especially our faces) by exploring various healing modalities and treatments. As we are always changing, it's important we stay connected to our bodies and our beauty throughout these changes to enhance our overall wellbeing and relationships to ourselves.

🌟 NEW EPISODE🌟 🎧 5 min Reminder to Stop Comparing Yourself.
I caught myself comparing my timelines again this week and being hard on myself for falling under an old narrative of success. So I made this short snippet 'sode.
Comparison truly does rob oneself of JOY and it's easy to slip into a spiral. Maybe this post now is your quick sign to remind yourself just how beautifully unique you are - never been done before life you have!
Stop being so hard on yourself, you are doing a great job at being YOU! There is no manual for that, (other than the body 😉 ).

09/04/2021

As humans [and women] it's only natural we compare ourselves, as we are so unique who we are and what we do has literally never been done before and sometimes we take a look around at what others are up too.
I've been guilty of comparison many of times to the point where it truly affects my day and overall happiness. However, please use this note as a simple reminder that you're doing an amazing job at being you 😘

08/04/2021

✋🏼 a girl SHOULD rest.

04/04/2021

You Are Perfect.

Sure, it's easy to show up and act as we 'should' be. But the real tricky part... is acting and embodying who we truly are.

🌟NEW EPISODE🌟🎧 🌟 "For When You're On Your Period."
I created this podcast during a very introspective time in my cycle, so that's why it's for when your in yours 😂
Lately (as you know) I've been focusing a lot of time on understanding the way my body works, so this includes all my cycles stages & phases.
When it came to my period in the past - it was just a thing to deal with. Pop an Advil through the pain and continue on with my day or even push harder.
I was raised with very active, go-getter, A-type women in my life which of COURSE had an influence (as do yours!)..
So until the past year really, my period was just my period.
Come listen for a quick 15 min about some passed down wisdom, info, revelations & of course personal experience when it comes to menstrual cycles.
Can't wait to continue more with this topic as I truly believe we can design our lives in harmony and deep connection to our bodies and emotions.

22/03/2021

Do you want to know something crazy - when I was in the pit of my eating disorder, I actually found myself almost prideful of not getting my period regularly, as though it were some sort of sign that I was thin and my body unique. Little did I know at the time the very magic our monthly cycles offer, the red badge of honour as a part of our experience as women.
When I think about my state of mind when I was 21, it was parked in validation from others and then disconnect from my own worth and it's no wonder when you're a young female that this is majority of the time the case.
I send love to that old part of me, and am thankful it led me to where I am now, as this one of the reasons why I find resonance here in this space, with you - and understanding how we can love and connect ourselves more.
Loving ourselves through every phase and every stage of our bodies is one of the most powerful things a woman can do for herself i.e. especially our menstrual cycle. Do you agree?

17/03/2021

Everything starts and ends with the mind.
Our greatest weapon!! yet easily a big demise 😅 it truly makes up everything from how you see yourself to how you shape your reality. (If you don't believe me make sure you check out series called "Re-Wired" on Gaia)
As women we are learning to unravel many passed down stories, traumas and beliefs about ourselves, our bodies and our lives specifically when it comes down to how we should be. In this short cast, we talk about how confronting and challenging our beliefs we can access a new point of perspective in whether it's aligned with our heart's true desires.

16/03/2021

let go of your expectations...and you'll never be disappointed again.

15/03/2021

We live in contrast - that is this reality and we can't escape it.
We can't have night without day
sun without moon
man without woman
cold without heat
light without dark
the list can go on and on.
When it comes to ourselves, we also experience polarities - and remember that one cannot exist without the other.
How do you handle your challenges? your 'negative' habits and qualities that are not serving you to feel your best self?
We can see them as weakness OR...or or, we can use them as feedback and lessons to learn from and ultimately befriend ourselves even more! Weeeeeeee

13/03/2021

Have you played recently?! When was the last time you did something that actually brought you to a place of true joy? What were you doing and who were you with?
At some point - we stop playing as much, but why? wasn't life just so much more fun when we weren't taking it so seriously?!
Join me Britt & Tara from on the podcast, as we talk all about achieving a deeper connection to ourselves through cultivating our mornings through intention with their genuine and playful selves.
This is one convo you don't want to miss out on 🌹 Link in Bio!

09/03/2021

HelllooOo! That is why you are here?! I love this quote from and from
This is your reminder that you are incredibly special and DESERVE love now and always.
Can't wait for this week's episode with these two, mark it down in your calendars!!! This Wednesday at 5pm EST It's gonna be a goodie 😁

08/03/2021

It really is.
I'm still learning this everyday, it's the most important relationship I'll have. It's sometimes overwhelming to fathom the capacity of which we can truly love ourselves and get to a space of true peace. It's something I have to dedicate every day to, otherwise I find that I begin to disconnect from myself and therefore start to experience more resistance in the world around me including situations, people, and places. It is weird to think that it can be so simple, just to add more play into your life, more beauty and ultimately more connection.

06/03/2021

What is your relationship like with food?
When I look back over my teenage years and twenties I realize that I went through the phases of starving myself to refusing myself nutrients all together. I even remember taking the diet pills from Walmart in Gr.12 and not that I needed them - but just because 'it was preventive'. I learned to not be satisfied before I even felt satisfied so I really developed this way of looking over the years.
It's because of these experiences that has entirely shaped my lifestyle to this day - but going through all the phases of the depths, shallows, highs and lows I know what it's like to be controlled by your food and relationship to it.

03/03/2021

🎧 NEW EPISODE 🎧✨ Talking all about Eating Disorders today, (based off of my own personal experience of course!) I wanted to share my stories, lessons and experiences when it comes to eating disorders it's too often commonly experienced especially as a "quick fix" for the modern woman, that can easily spiral into deeper and long-term issues.
Join me for a quick 20 as we raise more awareness on these topics that are so much more common than we think.

This word has so much meaning to it, often overlooked and misunderstood, which is what this short episode is all about!  What does Femininity mean to you? How does it show up in your identity? How do you define or relate to the word, the concept?  It's funny, the more I explore this word, energy and integration the more I learn about myself and my relationship to the word.  A very unrestricted word - yet totally encompassing one.   Our entire experience as women we are constantly changing, evolving and growing into new phases, how do you find your relationships changes as you do?  There is just so much ✨MAGIC✨ in being a woman

✨ NEW EPISODE 🎧 Feat. @kirstencobabe on "Raising Resilient Teens" This is one cast you DO NOT want to miss! Click the Link in my Bio 👉🏼 For the full episode, or save this post to remember to watch it later! WOW wow wow 🙌🏼 😍 What a topic and discussion. Something that is SO so important and honestly, overlooked. The importance of our young mind's wellbeing and growth should be at the forefront of our societies focus. In this episode we discuss things like: - how to cultivate acceptance in adolescence - tool building for real life situations - how to recognize teen trauma as adults in others and yourself and so much more! Most of all, I love Kirsten's modern approach when working with the minds of today. I believe she has a lot of experience and knowledge to contribute when it comes to understanding short and long-term effects of improper programming. So be sure to tune in and let me know what you think of this weeks episode! ❤️

Authenticity Feed Post

✨ NEW EPISODE 🎧 "The GOAL is Authenticity" 2021 Resolution 😂 This is a special one for me. This is something that is very connected to my own current work and struggles. For so long I've place importance and emphasis on my productivity being connected to value and worth. I've even placed so much value in productivity that I literally became disconnected to myself overtime, afraid to truly be myself... to truly just BE. In a way, I've dead-end my senses to my body and I eventually developed psoriasis, which represents fear of being hurt, accepting the self, and refusing to accept responsibility for my own feelings. It came and went on and off 5 years ago, but on my elbows - has never left. I've learned to manage it over the years, but this year I'm learning to heal it. I know that it is a deep representation of my own fear to authentically be able to accept myself WITHOUT proof of worth through productivity or monetary value. There is no room left for anything BUT radical self acceptance anymore, and the absence of fear to be your most authentic self. That means you are the one aware of the main motives and drivers and decision maker for your life, and it will not be based on someone else's expectance.

EP.7 Identity Formation

NEW EPISODE 🎧 Identity Formation & Crisis 👤 What do you say when someone asks you who you are? I mean other than your name, age, and traits, how would you describe yourself? We all identify ourselves through the environments around us, culture, our ethnicity, nationality, family, friends etc. But what about that internal voice? Your own self? I've struggled with finding my identity for a long time, and have experienced the effects which lead to disease and disorder such as depression, addiction, illness etc. and I know that there are many others out there who experience the same. Join me for this short under 20 minute episode all about how we form our identity and more!

NEW EPISODE 🎧 programming + identity in our adolescent years. Click the link in the bio to listen to this short, 20-min cast on the platform of your choice! 🎙 • why is it so hard for so many females to be comfortable with their bodies and way they look? • why are more young girls suffering more than ever with body dysmorphia, disorders and self-hate? • why does it seem that we are always chasing an ideal version of ourselves that we just can’t seem to achieve? As we focus on the years of adolescence, together we can explore the social consequences of learned behaviors. Come and join me as I share my personal stories and some experiences of how certain programming shaped my identity and how I related it to my overall worth! The young mind and heart is a precious gift in this world and it’s so important we hold these with intentional guidance and care ♥️

NEW EPISODE 🎧 Beauty Currency 🤑💎🤩💵 It is EXPENSIVE to be a girl… you know that. 💁🏻‍♀️ But WHY?! Is it so expensive?! Looking into my past, it’s insane calculating just how much money I had spent on’ maintaining’ my appearance (to a standard that I learned as acceptable). Especially, as girls today are starting to now incorporate plastic surgery into their beauty routines as regular as it is to get a trim, the price to be ‘beautiful’ gets more expensive and begins earlier. How could this be economically let alone mentally be possible?? To put it simply, it is learned. Politically designed by institutional forces for profit. Hence, Hello Beauty Currency! 💸 The average woman alone spends about $20,000 on cosmetics alone between the ages of 13 and 29. When you add haircuts, manicures, pedicures, tanning and waxing, the amount increases to over $40,000. Over a whole lifetime, the average woman will spend $500,000 on ‘beautification’. 😱 (This isn’t even mentioning the diet industry which was at $58 billion in 2009). I’m only 30, but I can tell you with confidence that for me it’s already well over 50K. (Well over.) 🤑😇 Now, culture is one thing, and I’m not here to revolt against it. You can’t control culture, necessarily… (you know what I mean), but you CAN control your mind, and the way you experience the culture and it’s meaning. And THATs more valuable than anything you can ever buy with money. Join me on today’s podcast as I talk about beauty currency and it’s affects on our culture, youth, and lives as females in the West. It’s astounding some of the things you may discover within your own story and see how it affects or has affected you in the past. Come on by babe! Oh, and the cost is Free ;) With love.

This has been a long time coming! Talking about something that I’m deeply passionate about and is very personal to me. I’ve decided to create this Podcast called, ✨A Girl Should Be✨because let me tell you, I’ve grown up with a lot of shoulds, and I needed to create a platform of relativity for women of all ages to address the global pandemic we are all in. The pandemic of this beauty myth that is consequently a programming designed for women leading into major issues for young girls around the world. I’m going to be inviting expert guests with paradigm-shifting ideas and perspectives, as well as sharing the raw truths of my personal stories like trust me, there are some good ones because I don’t want to get into it too much now but it’s basically like I was made to shares with you... with all of that we will discuss : 🌸 programming in young girls 🌼 cycles in a girls and woman’s life,i.e the body, and milestones, 🌺 maintaining your identity balance, and of course 🌸 ultimately learning to reach a state of self-love and acceptance. A LOT, I know. But this is a great place to start with with lots of more exciting things in the future to come! So let’s be friends if we aren’t yet, and please hit the subscribe button to be notified of latest episode! until then you can find me at @danielleschleese ♥️
