In this episode, we talk about how we are being formed in our lives everyday by subtle and not so subtle forces. The question isn’t, “are we being formed,” its “Who are we being formed in to.” We are formed by many factors, a few categories being- habits, relationships, the stories we believe, our environment and life experiences. We evaluate these areas and I go over questions to ask yourself from a bible study which has helped me to do a “formation audit” of my life.

(WATCH ON YOUTUBE) At the end of last year, when I woke up one morning I made a choice to wear no makeup, despite dressing up. I then had a moment of realization as fear of judgment was creeping in that I truly used makeup as a crutch and had even forgotten what my own face looked like... This experience showed me the damaging impact of beauty standards, the comparison to others, and even in seemingly small actions like frequent mirror checks. My eyes are constantly being opened on this subject from the Lord but today, I talk about strategies to shift focus away from appearance.
