Krista is dismantling the beauty industry. She’s a stylist who asks where your beauty beliefs come from. She urges you to explore what you want and not settle for what you’re told you should want. She is fed up with shame-based beauty marketing which profits by convincing us that we are broken and need fixing. She is raising her daughters to know they are born worthy of love regardless of what they look like. We have a lot to learn from her + this conversation is a fabulous start.
