Welcome to episode two of Nadine’s Corner: A Podcast!
In this episode, I talk about perception, beauty standards, identity, and the invisible “lenses” we inherit long before we’re old enough to choose them for ourselves.
Inspired by my essay, The Lens of the Beholder, this episode explores how neuroscience, culture, memory, and repetition shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. From vision neuroscience and neuroplasticity to stories about my Egyptian-American upbringing, my grandma, Twilight Zone episodes, and even my childhood glasses fascination, this became a conversation about one question I keep coming back to:
…says who?
Maybe the way you see yourself was never as objective as you thought it was.
Thank you so much for all the love on the first episode. I genuinely can’t explain how much it means to me ♡
