8. The scale and heirarchy of privilege serves none of us with Louise O'Reilly
I know for myself that the Beauty Load has kicked my butt. It has been and still is a "journey" let's say, to come to accept my body and beauty. And I also know that this is in the context of my privilege. Today's guest is helping me and all of us get our heads around our privilege, whiteness and this scale, the heirarchy that kicks all of our butts and serves none of us.
In this episode we talk about;
- Louise's work as an inclusivity and diversity coach and what her inspired this work.
- The politics of appearance and beauty
- Why we fear the dismantling of oppression
- How we can be good/better allies
- How more acceptance and less judgement towards ourselves is creating a better world for marginalised people
- AWhat a vision of the world looks like without discrimination

About the Book
Do you find yourself constantly comparing yourself to others, and feeling like
you don’t measure up?
This is the Beauty Load in action, and here’s the thing: it’s not personal, in fact
it is inevitable in this world obsessed with beauty.
Our personal perception of our beauty, or the lack of it, can make us feel anything
from numb to anxious, stressed and ashamed, and at worst like we don’t belong and
that we are not worthy of being loved.
In the Beauty Load, counsellor Nicole Mathieson exposes the damaging and
unrealistic beauty pressures society places on women, and shares how to lighten the
load for good through awareness, self-compassion and a realignment with your
deepest values.
Reclaim your freedom, confidence and self-love.
