Naked Beauty

Creative freedom, the role of therapy, patience with your hair, your skin, the joys of being alone, affirming your own destiny, setting intentions...so much of this very special episode with Madison is about trusting the timing of your life. I’ve admired Madison, founder of Utendahl Creative , for years! She was the force behind some of my favorite work at Refinery29, social director for the Museum of Ice Cream & overall industry thought leader. It was a joy to learn more about her story and discuss everything from: 

• Coming into her own as a solo entrepreneur after having success so early 
• Healing her skin with natural products
• Going to Paris to get re-centered 
• A therapist who ‘gets it’ 
• Coming to terms with her blackness, going blonde and then back to black
• SUNSCREEN *spoiler* we love Supergoop 
• Cruelty-free beauty 
• Lip liner as the secret essential step to any makeup routine 
• What she learned about beauty from her time at Refinery29

An encore episode with Harper’s Bazaar senior digital fashion editor, Chrissy Rutherford. Chrissy has some advice for hopefuls wanting to work in fashion: "If you don’t love it, you won’t last a week”. Chrissy tells me what it’s like being a digital editor and why her perspective as a woman of color is important right now. We discuss foundation (who is it really for?),miracle cures for cystic acne and her relationship with her hair dresser. My favorite part of the interview? Chrissy gives me her candid POV on posting bikini pics and it’s an attitude more women could learn from.

An honest talk about mental health — from my live Naked Beauty event in NYC I’m joined by writer, DJ & childhood friend, Gillian Sagansky to talk about how she’s come out as someone who struggles with OCD. We discuss her choice to seek treatment & how life was before she realized she needed to make mental health her ‘full-time job’. She explains how important it’s been for her to live without shame and the power of telling a single story.We discuss taking breaks from social media, how to support friends who share their mental health concerns (and accomplishments) with you & so much more! Thank you Gillian for your transparency and strength. And to the live audience, thank you for coming & to everyone who listens for all of the support.

From product development at Glossier to the front lines of L’Oreal — Diarrha has seen a lot and I was so eager to hear all the beauty TEA & it is *hot* – I had a jaw on the floor moment during our chat! I also learned A LOT - Diarrha talks about the science of skin, how products are formulated and women of color being excluded from clinical trials. We discuss Drunk Elephant, how Sephora uses data to market products brilliantly, how she found herself at Glossier & she shares all of her favorite products! Additional gems:

• she demystifies sunscreen & hyaluronic acid 
• why you don’t need expensive cleanser
• skin bleaching vs skin brightening 
• makeup as second skin

& so much more!

***quote from the episode I love***

“I’m sick of diversity as a facade. When I’m on interviews I ask:’ how many women of color are on your executive board? Who’s making these decisions?’”

Marjon Carlos is a writer, cultural critic, speaker and editor whose work I’ve admired for years. She is the former Senior fashion writer at Vogue.com where she explored the intersection of style and culture – informed by her academic background in African-American studies at Brown and Columbia University.

Marjon tells me how she came into her own personal style, shopping memories in Dallas, the early days of Saint Heron and how she’s thinking about aging. She’s a fashion girl slowly wading into the beauty waters and we talk microneedling, how we’re coping with our natural hair and the temptation of wigs.

“I have a story. It’s hard, it’s gnarly but it’s not about the story, it’s what you do with it.” - Sophia Roe, my incredible guest for this special episode of Naked Beauty.

Sophia’s wisdom, humor and excitement for life are all so refreshing and a joy to witness. I loved learning about how she got her start in high-end restaurants, then to catering, and how her love of food has evolved over time. We talk clean beauty and the correlation between skin and food, make-up girls vs skincare girls, curly hair care, and how her esthetician changed her skin forever.

Sophia grew up in and out of foster care. Her mother, who suffered from substance abuse and addiction, was still there for her in her own unique way that Sophia remembers fondly. We talk about how her iconic haircut came to her in a dream, moving to New York City and finding her style. She shares that she got her first manicure at 28 and what it was like for her to suddenly work at an office when she began working at MILK Makeup.

Listen to hear us discuss: tattoos, infrared facials, finding confidence when you need to be on camera, lack of diversity in the wellness industry and how she handles it, her must-have beauty products, the book she’s writing and so much more!

Self-care isn’t for sale. Despite the best efforts of marketing, a sheet mask won’t change your life. But sleeping more will.Going outside for a walk will.Stretching for 15 minutes a day will. #Selfcareisfree & if there’s one thing you retain from listening to this episode, it’s that you to believe & know in your core that buying products or hiring experts is not necessary to do the work that needs to be done to be your best self. Self care is not a product, it’s a habit. This episode is all about the practices and habits you can follow to take care of yourself to reach your best self.
