My guest is Laura Mathias, the communications manager, campaigner and alopecia awareness advocate. Laura started losing her hair in her early teens and she admits that, as a result, she stopped leaving the house. As she describes it, ‘I completely withdrew and just gave up.’ 

On Instagram where she’s @relightalopecia, Laura has shared her journey with alopecia because that diagnosis in her early teens led to issues with self-esteem and self-expression. A wig-wearer for years, lockdown changed that when we were all working from home and had the option to turn our cameras off and this was a huge learning experience for her and it’s these learnings she shares in this episode.

It's a very non-linear episode this time around but it's been a very non-linear few days.

What I'd like to know from you is, do you think the latest news re: Russell Brand has exposed a dark side to self-help and self-appointed/follower-elevated gurus?

In this episode I'm joined by Natassia Nicolao, or Tass she is known to her friends. She is one of the most exciting and forward-facing beauty entrepreneurs at the helm of a brand today. The brand is Conserving Beauty and it has already gone viral in Australia where the patented technology allowed them to create the world’s first fully dissolvable and compostable cleansing mask and wipe.

If you’re jaded by all the greenwashing and tokenistic efforts brands say they are making then Conserving Beauty might be the brand you need to hear about. It’s the only beauty brand to be backed by Impact Funds and is lead by an all-female board including Elle MacPherson.

I detest these trends where 'girl' precedes a video where logic goes out of the window and the fact 'girl' is involved means it's going to be stupid. Am I missing something?

Jodie Cariss is a psychotherapist and author and the founder of The Self Space, the world’s first on-demand mental health service on the high street offering in-person and virtual appointments.

It’s probably fair to say that she didn’t set out, necessarily to disrupt the way people access and have therapy but that’s what she has done with The Self Space and it’s a model that’s been embraced worldwide. She believes her job is to facilitate and highlight a path toward fulfilling one’s full potential, both individually and collectively.

I’m always excited to hear my guests’ life lessons and I’m delighted for you to hear Jodie's.

Please tell me I'm not alone in noticing that conspiracy theories are beginning to be taken more seriously than fact. Is it because they are more exciting and tantalising or because the truth is just a bit boring?

Laney Crowell, the CEO of SAIE Beauty, an omnichannel beauty brand with the objective to ‘make beauty better’. Laney’s career is a fascinating one; starting in film working with a producer before moving into magazine journalism on titles including Lucky Magazine, Elle and Stylecaster - plus there were, count them, the seven times she interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant…

Careers like these, particularly ones where you disrupt and innovate an industry are full of interesting tales and life lessons and I hope you enjoy Laney’s.
