Naked Beauty

In this week’s episode, Nina Westbrook, a licensed marriage and family therapist, helps us understand the connection between routine and mental health. We dive into the importance of routines, especially postpartum routines, and I share my experiences with strength training and magnesium supplements for better sleep. Our conversation covers mental health, de-stigmatizing therapy, and the benefits of routine for overall mental well-being. Nina also talks about her app, Nebbi, designed to help users reflect on their emotions and improve their mood with small, actionable tasks. 

Tune in as we discuss:

• Maintaining friendships while balancing busy schedules
• Nina’s tips for organized parenting
• Nina’s insights on how self-reflection and structure contribute to a balanced life.

Hyperpigmentation is the number one skin concern I hear about from the Naked Beauty audience, so I had to ask Sean all my burning questions about the topic. In this conversation, we discuss what hyperpigmentation is, the key causes of hyperpigmentation, how to treat it once it occurs and how to prevent it from happening in the first place.

In this special conversation, Kamie Crawford shares how she developed the self-assuredness that her fans have come to know and love. We discussed how having a mom who would get dressed up in the morning, “just in case,” influenced her childhood rebrand into a more confident version of herself. This rebrand would catapult her into Miss Teen USA, a role that led her to think critically about her race and body image. Kamie shared her current interest in body neutrality and her “stay-ready” approach to beauty and style. We couldn’t end the conversation without talking about her relationship and what being loved well revealed to her. 

Tune in as we discuss:

• What makes red carpet glam a full-day event
• Why she chooses to keep her relationship private 
• Where you can get her signature lash map, “The Kamie,” in LA 
• Her very specific advice to those who are single and looking

In this week’s episode, I sat down for a beauty tell-all with beauty veterans Jill and Carlene of the Breaking Beauty Podcast. During our conversation, Jill and Carlene discussed their pre-podcast careers in broadcasting and editorial, which informed their approach to Breaking Beauty. It was such a great opportunity to learn about how they developed the podcast and came together to tell behind-the-scenes beauty stories. We talked about how the role of the influencer, marketing, and even podcasting has changed since their launch in 2017. Jill and Carlene shared the truth behind manufacturing costs, the future of beauty, and why marketing founders is almost as important as marketing the product. 

Tune in as we discuss:

• The realities of the cost of manufacturing beauty products
• Which beauty biotech innovations are worth the cost
• The immense power of beauty influencers and cosmetic scientists 
• What beauty products they’re most excited about
• Why it's so hard for brands and consumers to move away from “anti-aging” language

Achieng Agutu’s larger-than-life online presence has inspired millions to live boldly and confidently. However, few would guess that the Kenyan star struggled against expectations that she would live a humble and modest life. During our chat, we talked about how her parents encouraged her to reject these ideals and live a full life, no matter what others thought.  Achieng never misses an opportunity to describe how her village shaped her, especially her host mother, who gave her the freedom to make her own decisions. And of course, she dished on her journey to becoming everyone’s favorite internet bestie.
