It shows us that nudity doesn’t have to live under the weight of taboo, shame, or vanity. Instead, it can spark confidence, acceptance, and radical self-love. Ever wondered what happens when women truly see themselves through fresh eyes—past the flaws and into the grace, strength, and beauty they naturally hold? We often treat nude and naked as if they mean the same thing. They don’t. Nude is the human form — artistic, graceful, unapologetic. Naked is raw — vulnerable, exposed, unprotected. And for many women, that distinction matters deeply. For generations, culture has tied nudity to shame and silence, especially for women. We’ve been told to cover up, shrink, and edit ourselves. No wonder standing unclothed feels terrifying — it forces us to confront not just our reflection but the conditioning stitched into us. Boudoir becomes the rebellion.  A reclamation.  A choice. My guest today, Liz Hansen, helps women redesign their relationship with visibility, nudity, and self-expression. She reminds us that what we’ve been taught is “taboo” can be transformed into power — if we choose it. Today’s conversation explores the difference between exposure that diminishes us and expression that uplifts us.  This isn’t vanity.  It’s visibility.  It’s liberation.  It’s the freedom to be seen fully and lovingly — by yourself first.
