In this episode of The Truly Co Podcast, we’re chatting about mental health and cultural ideologies of beauty. Melissa talks about how the “American brand of beauty” - Barbie-like figure, long-flowing hair, big eyes, thin and toned, diet culture - has caused a lot of unnecessary shame, mental health struggles, and eating disorders for women, herself included. She is passionate about redefining beauty and bringing it back to how God designed it - seeing His hand at work in and around us.
Melissa Johnson is a Bethel University graduate and professor, spiritual director, and marriage & family therapist. She is passionate about redefining beauty... From the American brand of beauty to true beauty, the life of God at work in and among us.
Her article in Truly Magazine’s Leadership issue, “The American Brand of Beauty is Broken . . . and Why it Matters for Leaders” is a further glimpse into this concept. You can also find more on her website and podcast at impossible-beauty.com, or on Instagram.
