The messaging, input and culture around women's bodies is horrid, toxic and mean.
As humans, we naturally internalise that and turn it on ourselves, hoping that if we improve and get better, the problem will go away.
But this is an abuse, and like any toxic, abusive relationship, the demand for us (the innocent) to change is insatiable, and the responsibility taken by the other party is nil.
What happens is that we become horrid, toxic and mean to ourselves.
But let's stop.
Let's use our skin as the barrier.
All that toxic messaging can stay on the external.
Let's make our internal worlds places of safety, love and compassion.
I have created "From Insecurity to Body Confidence, A Self-compassionate" to guide you.

About Nicole
Nicole Mathieson has impacted the lives of thousands of women through her writing,
speaking, podcasts and work as a counsellor.
In the therapy room, Nicole sees the Beauty Load doing its self-esteem-stealing damage in
real time as she helps her clients grapple with not feeling good enough to love.

of recognition from her clients and readers alike, who, for possibly the first time, realise they
are not alone, not crazy and absolutely not inadequate.
The Beauty Load is Nicole’s first book.
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.
