Listen "Everything you're getting WRONG about The Fantasy Self (plus a better way to think about it!)"
Episode Synopsis
SUMMARY In this episode, we dive into the idea of the 'fantasy self'—that ideal version of ourselves we sometimes shop for and style ourselves around. We talk about how embracing this fantasy self can actually inspire us to be more authentic and grow, but also why it’s important to stay realistic and avoid putting style icons on a pedestal. We share our thoughts on becoming that “lipstick person” or whatever version of yourself you aspire to, and how small habits and lifestyle tweaks can help you align with your goals. It’s all about embracing the best version of ourselves in a practical, down-to-earth way and using personal style as a powerful form of self-expression.CHAPTERS 00:00 Exploring the Fantasy Self03:03 The Aspirational Self and Authenticity05:57 Influences and Style Icons09:00 The Pitfalls of Idolizing Style Icons11:59 Realism vs. Fantasy in Personal Style14:52 Practical Steps to Embrace Your Fantasy Self19:49 Embracing Change: Becoming a Lipstick Person22:02 Fantasy Selves: Aspirations and Self-Expression25:38 Behavior Over Appearance: Defining the Fantasy Self30:03 Living Authentically: The Power of Self-Expression-----------------CONTACT US: [email protected] OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SustainThisPodcast SIGNE HANSENYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UseLess_dkWebsite: https://www.uselesswardrobe.dk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/useless_dk/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@useless_wardrobeCHRISTINA MYCHASYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristinamychasWebsite: https://www.minimalist-ish.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/christina.mychas/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@christina.mychasALYSSA BELTEMPOYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlyssaBeltempoWebsite: https://msbeltempo.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/msbeltempo/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@msbeltempo If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag us!
