Redefining Beauty and Aging: A Heartfelt Chat with Mimi Young
“We have to be willing to talk about it, because when we talk about it, the silence is not keeping us in shame and there's a freedom to discussion, a freedom to vocalize and say hey, like this is a legit thing that I go through.”

In this episode of Tales of Recovery, host Gris Alves sits down with Mimi Young for a deep and heartfelt conversation about the toxic narratives surrounding beauty and aging. They tackle the tough questions: Why do we let ageism dictate our self-worth? How can we model healthier attitudes for the next generation?
Mimi and Gris don't just talk about the problems; they offer solutions, like reconnecting with nature and embracing self-acceptance.

As Mimi puts it, 'When we talk about it, we break the silence and find freedom.' Tune in for an enlightening discussion that encourages you to embrace every stage of life with grace and authenticity.
