Today’s guest is Bren Varela:

Licensed Esthetician, and founded The Bar as an effort to change the worldwide stigmas that skincare is a luxury, that is solely restricted to one gender. The Bar is a Latina-owned small business in Brooklyn, founded & self-funded by a first-generation Ecuadorian-American woman with a dream.

The dream of combining activism, her degrees in Mental Health, her passion for skincare, and the importance of inclusivity and diversity seemed like a random concoction, but the truth is they are all interconnected. Bren and her business focus on more than just skin & community is what keeps us going. 

Bren has made it her mission to make giving back, a part of her business. As she says in the episode, "no idea is wild enough." I left feeling so inspired by this episode, and I know you will too!

This episode is a special one - let's dive in!
