113: Can joy change your skin? | mbg co-founder Colleen Wachob

“We wanted to bring more airtime and more focus to [well-being] tools that are time tested that so many of us can agree on—and also integrate the possibility of joy,” says mbg co-founder Colleen Wachob, co-author of the new book The Joy Of Well-Being. “I worry that we’ve become so disconnected from what joy truly is. I think we all need to ask ourselves, ‘What is it about our lives that bring us joy?’” In this very special episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director & host Alexandra Engler chats with Wachob about her frustrations with the wellness industry, the pillars of her well-being routine, and the power of connection. Plus, all the ways your well-being habits affect your skin.
