    In episode 7 of the Navigating Life podcast, Carol invites her two friends Jason and Ulrich to her ‘year in review’ conversation. It’s December 2021 and suffices it to say that the last year or two have been some for the history books as we’ve all lived through a global pandemic. The questions they consider in this episode (that you may want to as well):
    Was 2021 easier or more difficult than 2020 and why?
    What are some surprising things that happened to you this year?
    What has been hard for you this year?
    What’s your approach to 2022 going to be?

  • Ep.6 Navigating Life Podcast with Carol Joy Williams//Navigating hair and beauty standards

    Ep.6 Navigating Life Podcast with Carol Joy Williams//Navigating hair and beauty standards
    Oct 7 2021
    hair (n)
    any of the fine threadlike strands growing from the skin of humans, mammals, and some other animals.

    beauty standard (construct)

    1. Beauty is the state or quality of being beautiful
    2. A standard is a level of quality or achievement, especially a level that is thought to be acceptable

    Hair - we all have it in some shape or form. Perhaps it's something you haven't given much thought to - perhaps it's something that has shaped your life in profound ways.

    In this episode, Carol unpacks some thoughts and stories about hair and the way that hair shapes our experiences and the experiences of those around us. What's considered acceptable and what's not? We need to be aware of the beauty standards we consciously or subconsciously subscribe to.
