Not Buying Into Beauty Trends & Capitalism - Uncut with Sarah Wilson

Today’s guest is the brilliant Sarah Wilson. Sarah Wilson is a multi-New York Times bestselling author, social philosopher, international keynote speaker, minimalist and philanthropist. She edited Cosmopolitan Australia at 29, founded the global I Quit Sugar movement, hosted Masterchef Australia – and wrote the bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful. 

We previously had Sarah on the podcast 2 years ago where we spoke about dating in your forties, how Sarah had moved to Paris with only own 2 suitcases worth of belongings!

Since we last spoke, Sarah has ended her long-running podcast Wild, and started serialising her new book on system collapse. Today, we’re talking about the chaos we’re all living through — the systems collapsing around us, the tech bros running wild, and the very real sense that everything’s just... a bit cooked.

We also dive into:

• Living in a minimalistic way and how it’s classy in some cultures
• Australia is a young person’s culture with botox, lashes and ‘invisible’ older women
• Should we also have a tax on fast fashion?
• How beauty ideals change based on what’s going on economically 
• What it means to find meaning in messy times
• Why Sarah’s book will likely be banned in the US
• Why community and connection are more important than ever
