Have you ever considered the camera and creativity as a catalyst for self-worth? Vanessa Mata, a Toronto-based educator, activist, and photographer, joins us to share how she is challenging beauty norms and championing the voices of the unseen, both behind the camera and in the classroom.

With each snapshot, she's flipping the script on cultural expectations, capturing the essence, strength and beauty of each person. Her transformative photography combines art with spirituality, redefining the path to healing and mental well-being. Through her personal experiences of growth and the joyfulness of her photo shoots, Vanessa is creating ripples of confidence and self-love that echo far beyond the frame.

In this episode Vanessa shares her insights on navigating the inner critic and the transformational journey towards self-love. She provides a testament to the undeniable strength found in fostering self-advocacy and inner healing.

We have the pleasure of working with Vanessa on our retreats, as a guest facilitator and always an amazing photographer. In fact, she'll be joining our Embodied Worth Speaker Series this Friday at noon ET to continue this conversation on Taming the Inner Critic. We'd love for you to join us
