In this episode of The BARE With Me Podcast, we explore the intimate connection between nudism, self-care, and skincare. Jay welcomes Dave, the founder of Rowan Skincare—a natural, cruelty-free brand rooted in body positivity and inclusivity. Together, they dive into the challenges of launching a skincare line designed with both nudists and non-nudists in mind, emphasizing transparency, mindfulness, and the power of community.

From breaking down beauty industry myths to sharing real stories that inspired Rowan’s mission, this conversation goes beyond skin-deep. Dave opens up about the role of customer feedback, the importance of DEI in wellness spaces, and how skincare can become a radical act of self-acceptance. The episode wraps with a fun round of rapid-fire questions and a heartfelt reflection on creating products—and communities—that care.

Whether you're clothes-free or just curious, this episode reminds us all that skin deserves to be seen, celebrated, and cared for.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Dr. Mal joins us to talk about all the things she has going on—from the heart and mission of her brand #whenmallorylives to her journey as an educator, storyteller, and spiritual coach. We dive into her evolving relationship with nudism, and how embracing authenticity in her own body has shaped the way she parents her autistic son. Together, we explore the intersections of body liberation, neurodivergence, healing, and what it means to create space for yourself and others to live fully and freely. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that living your truth is a radical, courageous act.

In this powerful and unfiltered episode of BARE with Me, we’re tackling some of the biggest insecurities men face but rarely talk about—body image, penis size, comparison culture, and the journey toward self-acceptance. From the pressure to have the “ideal” male body to the unrealistic standards set by porn and social media, we break down where these insecurities come from and how men can begin to embrace their bodies without shame.

Welcome to the BARE With Me Podcast. On this weeks episode I’m going to joined by a good friend of mine, Dani. In our time together, we are going to discuss our understanding of body positivity, talk about its impact in our lives, its relevance in Black culture, social media’s role in helping and/or harming how we see our bodies, and how/why nudism connects to it all. This is the episode everyone’s been asking for. We are going to be talking about nudism and SEX! I’ve asked Dani to be a guest because she’s a sexologist and I believe she will offer context why the two are often connected. This is an episode you wont want to miss.

For episode two, we're going to pick up where I left off in episode one. In episode one, I started off by telling you all about my introduction into body positivity and nudism. We're going to take a little while and focus on the community aspect of all of this and really dive deep to explore how finding community who would affirm my new found confidence.

My very first guest is Evan Nicks, who is a good friend and a mentor for me in this podcast space especially as it pertains to body positivity and nudism.

Evan Nicks is the host of Naked Age, a podcast about cultural significance of nudity. With a background in filmmaking and a passion for naturism, Evan brings a unique perspective to the topic of public and private nudity. He has conducted extensive research and interviews with individuals from various nudist communities to create engaging and informative episodes.

BARE with Me...

This week on a BARE with Me Podcast. We're taking it back, way way back! Join me as I turn back the hands of time. Traveling to my beginnings as a young nudist, this is a story you don't want to miss. In episode one, I will be exploring how an early addiction to pornography created a need for me to find a way to deal with insecurities stemming from said addiction. My struggle with pornography led me to seeking out nudist communities as a remedy. You heard me right, I ended up in a nudist community. In this space I found healing and I love for myself (my body) that I had never experienced.

Tune in as I dive deeper into my origin story.
