The “Bad Marriage” We Don’t Talk About: Skin, Shame & Silence

We rarely speak about our relationship with our skin — and when we do, it’s often wrapped in silence, shame, or quiet resignation. For many women, skin becomes something to manage privately. Something to hide. Something we learn to live with rather than understand. In this video, I explore a metaphor that came to me unexpectedly — the idea that our relationship with our skin can feel like a bad marriage. Not because the skin is “broken,” but because we’ve been taught to endure discomfort quietly, to normalize dissatisfaction, and to carry embarrassment alone. This conversation is not about blame or trauma. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about reclaiming authority over our bodies, releasing unnecessary shame, and learning to relate to our skin with honesty, curiosity, and care. I share reflections drawn from lived experience — my own, my children’s, and the quiet stories women share when they finally feel safe enough to speak. This is an invitation to stop managing in silence. To stop assuming you’re the only one. And to begin a different kind of relationship — one rooted in respect, understanding, and choice. If this resonates, you are not alone. And you are not broken. — Notes & Rituals is a space for thoughtful conversations around care, embodiment, beauty, and becoming.
