Amanda Chantal Bacon: 我在过去一年中深入处理了羞耻感问题,我称之为与羞耻感的舞蹈。我意识到,接纳自己的阴影面,而不是试图消除它,会更有益。随着年龄增长,我开始与自己的阴影面和解,并从中看到益处。我40岁时开始更能接纳自己的阴影面,不再试图改变自己的性格。我接受了自己的阴影面及其带来的益处。随着年龄增长和经历的积累,我会变得不那么自责,更能接纳自己。我对衰老的看法随着年龄增长而变化,现在我正处于一个有点尴尬的过渡阶段。我从小就对年长的女性充满敬佩,她们的生活方式和成就让我很受鼓舞。与不同年龄段的女性建立联系,能帮助我更好地看待衰老。人生并非总是线性的,事情变化很快。我现在的状态感觉非常艰难,但我会尽力做好每一件事。保持身心健康,以及对未来的信念,是我继续前进的动力。我曾对“女性能拥有所有一切”的观念感到愤怒,但后来我接受了现实的艰难。减少对别人的评判,可以帮助我们减少对自己的评判,从而提升自我同情心。 Katie Dillbout: 我和Amanda Chantal Bacon的谈话涵盖了羞耻感、接纳不完美、老去、死亡、以及对平衡的误解等诸多话题。我40岁时开始更能接纳自己的阴影面,不再试图改变自己的性格。我一直在思考衰老、死亡和人生的意义,并阅读了米兰达·朱莉的《All Fours》。我不等待社会改变,而是通过改变自身的想法来应对年龄带来的焦虑。减少对别人的评判,可以帮助我们减少对自己的评判,从而提升自我同情心。

Shownotes Transcript

This week I spoke to Moon Juice) founder and CEO Amanda Chantal Bacon. Amanda, as it says in the PR email I received, “has a captivating personal story that led her to create her company,” but we barely touched on that in this conversation. Instead we had a candid conversation that began with talking about shame and a book (All Fours)). And spanned to finding love later, aging, mourning past life phases, intergenerational friendship, and the myth of balance. I found this to be a very comforting conversation from start to finish; she was so wise and easygoing that I left feeling like I'd just hung up with a good friend.

Despite the fact that I’ve been a fan of her products for over a decade, use her face wash daily, and credit her Beauty Pills for keeping my acne in check—we didn’t even talk about her her company origin story, or even one of her specific products. Next time. Let us know what you think eavesdropping.
