#28. Beauty and wellness are evolving faster than ever before—but what's actually driving the industry's next chapter? Is it innovation, community, science... or the consumer?

This week, Kate sits down with Lindy Firstenberg, Co-Lead of the Beauty, Health & Wellness Practice at AlixPartners. From helping launch Louis Vuitton Fragrance to advising founders, retailers, investors, and global brands, Lindy has spent her career at the forefront of the industry's biggest shifts. Now, she's stepping into entrepreneurship herself, co-founding a science-backed scar repair company built around breakthrough biotechnology.

In this conversation, Lindy shares her perspective on where beauty, health, and wellness are headed, why today's consumers are more informed than ever, and the lessons she's learned through building businesses, navigating serious illness, and redefining what it means to live well.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Lindy's unconventional path from NASA to Louis Vuitton to AlixPartners

• The biggest shifts shaping the future of beauty, health, and wellness

• Why today's "Consumer PhD" is changing how brands must build trust

• The most common mistakes founders make when scaling consumer brands

• How retailers and brands should think differently about marketing, distribution, and community

• Why content, peer recommendations, and clienteling matter more than traditional influencer marketing

• The inspiration behind Lindy's new science-backed scar repair company

• What building a company alongside her husband has taught her about entrepreneurship and partnership

• How surviving a life-threatening illness reshaped her perspective on ambition, purpose, and risk

• The future of wellness, longevity, personalized health, and clinical validation in consumer products

#27. The art world can often feel intimidating and inaccessible, but what if collecting art was less about exclusivity and more about curiosity, storytelling, and developing your own eye?

This week, Kate sits down with Caroline Yarbrough, a Contemporary Cataloguer at Sotheby's and former Division I athlete at Davidson College, to demystify the world of fine art. From building a career at one of the world's most iconic auction houses to helping collectors navigate an ever-evolving market, Caroline shares what it really takes to succeed in the art world, and how anyone can become a collector.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Caroline broke into the art world and built a career at Sotheby's
• What really happens behind the scenes at a global auction house
• Whether art should be viewed as an investment—and how collectors think about value
• The biggest misconceptions people have about buying and collecting art
• How to develop your eye and personal taste, even if you're just starting out
• The parallels between being a Division I athlete and succeeding in a high-performance career
• The differences between wellness culture in New York City and Los Angeles—and what each city gets right
• Emerging trends among the next generation of collectors
• Caroline's favorite museums, artists, and where she'd recommend aspiring collectors begin

#20. Welcome back to Green-ish with Ari & Kate! Today we’re going to provide a guided walking meditation. Move your body while visualizing the future you desire — this can be a powerful tool and reminder that life is too short to live as the average of yourself.

We are joined by Chris Jackson. Chris has been involved in fitness for over 25 years, playing youth sports all the way up until college. He discovered yoga at the age of 21 and was immediately hooked, starting with hot yoga and practicing for 15 years before mustering the courage to join a teacher training program. Chris learned Hatha and HPF at CorePower Yoga, and has since expanded his career, becoming certified in sculpt, barre, vinyasa, and yin yoga. With nearly 700 hours of education and learning, he has taught over 1000 classes.

We hope this provides you with a moment of peace, an opportunity to reset, or a simple, deep breath. Listen in the AM or PM, whether you’re on a trail surrounded by trees, driving, getting ready in the morning, or doing your legs up the wall at night— just sit back, relax, and visualize your most glowing YOU!
