This week I’m joined by Sheena Zadeh, founder of Kosas, to talk about the real story behind building a massive beauty brand while trusting your intuition through every twist. She opens up about young marriage and divorce, losing her home in a fire, and deprogramming the belief that women are only valuable if they’re partnered. We also explore how confidence, self-knowledge, and true self-possession come from surviving what was meant to break you. We get into the reality of growing a brand (yes, even when you see celebrities using your products), her beauty philosophy and current trends she’s loving, unhinged beauty purchases, thoughts on aging, and the gifts that come from hardship as we navigate our 30s, step into our 40s, and fully own who we are.
