Summary

1. Why are we conditioned to spend so much of our precious time and energy on our appearance? 2. Why is it that when men put work into the world, the world asks if his work is worthy—but when women put work into the world, the world asks if she’s worthy? 3. Why is half the population’s face allowed to exist as is, while the rest of our faces “need” to be covered in concealers, colors, botox, etc., etc....? 4. How is it that the ultimate way to insult a woman is to say that she’s “let herself go”? 5. The better “beauty” standard for women that is liberating Glennon right now.

0:00.0	Hi, everybody. Thanks for coming back to We Can Do Hard Things. We recorded this episode
0:06.2	before this latest onslaught of pain in the world. Our hearts are breaking for the people
0:11.8	of Afghanistan and Haiti. We started our nonprofit together rising a decade ago and so many
0:18.0	of you have joined us in turning our collective heartbreak and fury and hope into effective
0:24.4	service for people in crisis all over the world. Together, we've raised over $30 million
0:30.7	of lifesaving world changing aid. The day after the most recent Haiti earthquake, we committed
0:36.7	$250,000 to Haiti and through Friday, every penny that together rising receives will
0:42.7	be deployed to provide urgent relief there. We're currently also vetting the most responsible
0:47.6	ways to serve in Afghanistan and we'll have ways to help there to share with you soon.
0:53.6	We know that being a citizen of this world in pain is hard but we can and will do hard
1:00.5	things. We will never allow the fact that we cannot fix it all to keep us from doing
1:06.0	what we can. We will keep showing up for ourselves, for each other, for the world. Thank you for
1:16.0	understanding with us. You can give a together rising dot org slash give and you can follow
1:22.9	all of the together rising stories, a together rising on Instagram.
1:30.6	Hi everybody, welcome back to We Can Do Hard Things. I just want to jump in because I
1:46.0	am so freaking excited about this conversation. You're about to hear it has lit a fire inside
1:52.2	of me and I hope it does for you too. It's about beauty. It's about the ideas of beauty
2:01.6	that keep us stuck and keep us caged and keep us feeling like we are not enough and it's
2:07.8	about how to see that for what it is and reclaim the idea of beauty not as something that we
2:14.9	have to be in order to earn worthiness. But it's something that we get to fill ourselves
2:23.7	up with every single day. Let's get started. Hello. Hello Glenin Doyle. I am sitting in my
2:36.7	pantry right now and I'm really looking forward to this conversation with you about beauty
