This week on That's So Retrograde, we're saddened by the sudden passing of our fairy GodGuru, Guru Jagat. GJ was a force of nature, generous and hilarious, endlessly wise and open hearted and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity and pleasure to be in her orbit.  This episode is a conversation we held with her in 2017 that has never been aired, you can find the remainder of it and a meditation led by her on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyLlaf1GCMI. You can also listen to another full episode (119) at: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5WhUIyC6Y0eWd300iIbB7X?si=pB1lgFl7SI2JHumcFk2wdA&dl_branch=1.

We’ve been known to go deep on the topic of skin but have never gotten into its mental health impact... until now. We got ahold of some very interesting stats via a recent survey conducted by Mederma on the impact of skin and mental health and invited therapist, Maria Sosa (@holistacallygrace) & Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Azadeh Shirazi to discuss the survey's findings.
