On this week’s episode, Skye & Amanda are joined by Dunni and Taleah, the hosts of Beauty Needs Me, a podcast centered around a holistic 360 view on beauty that includes the mind, body and soul. Dunni and Taleah open up about their experience working together on the podcast and what they’ve learned about themselves and each other through the process. 

Long Story Short wouldn’t be complete without some book talk. Listen in to learn about what type of reader each of the guests are, what books have changed their lives, everyone’s love for audiobooks and find out who needs some convincing around joining a book club. 

The four touch on the topic of beauty as it pertains to book to screen adaptations. Hear the ladies varying thoughts around when and how Hollywood should be held accountable for casting actors as they are described in books.
