Hey there! This week I am graced by the presence of Sof\xeda Yepes, co-founder of the online community: Break The Beauty Mold. We start by introducing Sofi and a tea talk. We break the ice with some rapid fire questions and then explore BTBM\u2019s story, self care amidst a pandemic, building a safe online space, and advice for young girls. After, Sofi asks me some questions and shares her podcast recommendations. \n\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nListen to my other podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3RhYyCBLVwBuNimne4zVCO?si=AG_LzDsuQdqBYedSmFOkfQ\nFollow my TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJwKjr2L/ \nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nGET IN TOUCH WITH SOF\xcdA:\n@breakthebeautymold: https://instagram.com/breakthebeautymold?igshid=19td0ztdqimim\nPodcast interview: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2eMLTAMIXyGgJDw5asxdl5?si=yGVYwM8eTFOnDv60Vr-6Xw\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nAutomatic writing \nLynn Ungar\n\u201cRecogimiento\u201d\nSelf love routine\n@werenotreallystrangers: https://instagram.com/werenotreallystrangers?igshid=114kc7mdgn3a2\nAbierta Mente (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/7DResZLoGrREBpM4j8FuDd?si=Dh_SUE_lSkqgmvkXb4oyeQ\nActing My Age with Rohini Elyse (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/705SW5CP8UwGJi8fhBEcgZ?si=w1gAStjyS9yWGnkCQ8Ew2g\nConferencias - Borja Vilaseca (on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/2Ppfh2NcWtUHn2nsbVyZXJ?si=KehtPulwTPelvquSQKB1HA\n\u201cRayado\u201d\nEncantado de conocerme\n\nHERE ARE SOME QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n\u201cSometimes, life\u2019s most beautiful gifts come in the ugliest of packaging\u201d\n\u201cIt became harder and harder for me to look at myself in the mirror\u201d\n\u201cIt was weird how you can be so different from somebody else physically and still share the same insecurities\u201d\n\u201cThe problem wasn\u2019t our bodies, it was our minds\u201d\n\u201cIf I wanted to advocate for something, I had to become it\u201d\n\u201cIf you heal yourself, you heal the world\u201d\n\u201cBreak The Beauty Mold and myself, we are like one thing that grows together\u201d\n\u201cYou can\u2019t teach things that you yourself can\u2019t know\u201d\n\u201cWhat feeling do I leave the people in my life with?\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s taught me to which point you\u2019re able to help the person\u201d\n\u201cSince women were raised to think that they were competition, when we\u2019re able to connect from our hearts and share our experiences, it\u2019s healing\u201d\n\u201cYou are your own home\u201d\n\u201cYou can learn a lot of things, but you have to experience what they actually mean for yourself to really integrate them\u201d\n\u201cIf you only focus on the big things, you\u2019re going to feel like you\u2019re not doing very much\u201d\n\u201cLife is a bunch of little rituals\u201d\n\u201cIf you do things from your heart, those are going to be the people that end up following you\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s up to every person to absorb the messages we\u2019re trying to convey\u201d\n\u201cI was viewing women as idealised images and excluding all other aspects of their beings\u201d\n\u201cUs women are life companions\u201d\n\u201cYou can\u2019t narrow down a person to just their body\u201d\n\u201cThe girl you\u2019re comparing yourself to is probably also comparing herself to you!\u201d\n\u201cEverything you need to make the most of your time on earth are already inside of you\u201d\n\u201cThe universe gives you exactly what you need in order to grow and flourish, it has your back\u201d\n\u201cYour body\u2019s purpose is not to please the eye\u201d\n\u201cWhat grounds you is actually your body\u201d\n\u201cYour body is beautiful in a profound way\u201d\n\u201cHave a good relationship with your body whether or not it looks how the world tells you it\u2019s supposed to look like\u201d\n\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
