    The Hidden Pain of 'Beauty': Confronting Breast Implant Illness with Raine Dunn

    The Hidden Pain of 'Beauty': Confronting Breast Implant Illness with Raine Dunn

    In our pursuit of self-love, why do we so often turn to practices that may actually harm us? If you're like me, you've struggled with parts of your body that don't meet the impossible beauty standards set by social media, advertising, and Hollywood.
    What's astonishing is the silent hypocrisy within many communities that champion consciousness and natural living. Despite their commitment to spiritual growth, many still embrace cosmetic surgery and other beauty enhancements without a second thought, often ignoring the potential physical and energetic tolls these choices might carry. 
    About Raine Dunn
    Joining us today is Raine Dunn, an inspirational speaker and health advocate who has turned her personal struggle with breast implant illness into a crusade for change. After experiencing severe health setbacks from cosmetic surgery, Raine embarked on a journey of recovery that led her to speak out against the dangers of unrealistic beauty standards and the importance of holistic wellness. Her work now focuses on empowering others to make informed health decisions and to embrace their natural beauty.
    Episode Highlights
    Why Beauty Isn't Skin Deep: The Real Costs of Cosmetic Enhancements: Dive into the often unseen emotional and physical repercussions of cosmetic surgery.What Everyone Should Know About Breast Implant Illness: Discover key insights into the symptoms and long-term effects of breast implant illness.The Surprising Link Between Spiritual Growth and Physical Health:Explore how true wellness integrates both spiritual well-being and physical health.Questioning Beauty Standards: A Call to Action for Societal Change: Discuss the need for a shift in how society views and values beauty.Listening to Your Body's Wisdom: A Guide to Self-Care: Learn the importance of tuning into your body’s signals as a path to healing and empowerment.

Poignant and “authentic”

I’m loosing my grip and not “black knuckling” a LOT of things and issues. For example, I have chosen to exchange the ever popular phrase “my truth” for a more accurate word such as experience. I too don’t get someone who feels that they are in the incorrect body, however I am also aware that they are afforded their personal opportunity to express themselves however they deem necessary. Furthermore, God ALONE is the one to offer another alternative and solution to the issue as that’s FAR above my pay grade (if you will) and goes way “deeper than I think.”
In closing, I have chosen to listen to the audiobook by Victor Frankl titled “Man’s Search For Meaning” and I’m realizing that we (along with a Higher Power) are capable of withstanding reality tough circumstances.

Thank you!

I’m listening to you here in Maine. Just finished listening to your interview with Brian Sanders and it was so good. Supports and inspires everything I believe. Nathan, you give me hope that we are already winning and changing the world for the better. That many, many people are waking up to the reality that the world and each of us needs to be a part of the change. I love how positive and non judgmental you are, while sharing radical new and old ideas.
Just sent $7 to help keep this podcast going.
Thanks for your courage.
