Val Monroe, former beauty editor for O, The Oprah Magazine and writer of the popular Substack newsletter How Not to F*ck Up Your Face, and Body Relationship Coach Debbie Saroufim, chat with host Carmelita Tiu about how to navigate beauty culture.

We cover:

• The importance of diversifying what you see and media literacy
• The myth of “figuring it out” and having it all together
• Normalizing making informed choices
• Social media - the good, the bad, and how much time Debbie spends on it ;)
• The duality of our emotions - you can feel dislike something and that doesn't mean it needs change
• Awesome parting thought from Val about what real beauty is
