Welcome to my "cheugiest" episode yet! (And if you have no idea what in the world that means, press "play" and you'll soon find out.)

It's no secret that each generation experiences life differently... Technology changes, values shift, and life evolves. A millennial myself, I decided it was time to stop being ageist and start trying to better understand the generation under me. In this two-part conversation, I'm sitting down with my friend Bailey Dean - a 21-year-old senior at Mississippi State University, to better understand the minds of Gen Z.

Bailey is wise beyond her years. I thoroughly enjoyed her openness and honesty reflected throughout our dialogue. Stay tuned for part 2, coming soon.

Meet Anderson Goin: a contemporary abstract artist from Memphis, TN, and the founder of The Ugly Art Company. Anderson attended Watkins College of Art and Design in Nashville, as well as Memphis College of Art. His work has been shown in local and regional galleries and museums such as The Dixon Art Gallery and Brooks Museum of Art. He has been a part of many group shows, and presented two one-man shows. Anderson will be the first to tell you that much of his work is born from mistakes or the memories of mistakes made in the past. When asked to explain the meaning of his work, he claims that it is not as simple as interpreting brushstrokes on the canvas. For Anderson, it’s about the whole process. The act of representing his missteps is as much a part of the work as the finished piece. He primarily works with oil paint on canvas. You can view and purchase his work through his website, www.andersongoin.com or find him on Instagram at @andersongoin

The Ugly Art Company is a "Memphis based art company showcasing local artists and doing what they can to spread the love of art." Be sure to follow along on Instagram at @theuglyartco

While a proper skincare regimen is essential for anyone hoping to achieve their healthiest skin, it is not the end all be all! A healthy diet packed with omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential vitamins & minerals is also necessary when working to obtain your best skin. 

In this episode, we break down how our mindset along with our diet and water intake can either positively or negatively impact our appearance.

Dr. Barot is a mom, a wife, doctor of pharmacy, and a skincare enthusiast! She has personally been the culprit of buying lots of products wasting time, money and racking up beauty club membership points, but most of them being unnecessary or not appropriate for her skin type... Sound familiar?

Her journey with skincare obsession started in 2012 when she moved from Chicago to Jackson, Mississippi. As you can imagine, the drastic change in climate made her skin start to act out. A visit to a dermatologist, several visits to various med spas, and lots of skin care products later, her skin was more of a wreck than it was before. That is when she decided to take matters into her own hands. You see, she didn't find the right  skin care expert who she could rely on to understand cosmeceutical  products, women of color skin or even the depth of knowledge pertaining  to skin care ingredients.

After years of  trial and error, understanding the skincare industry, now she knows better. There is not one product or one ingredient that can turn your skin around or take it to the next level. What she knows years later is that an evidence based skin care regimen is what she always needed.

"A regimen that is personalized to my skin, my lifestyle and my goals, and backed by science"

The  right skincare regimen with a thorough analysis by an expert that  understands skin and knows what products are good can make a big difference and give you confidence.

Dr.  Barot’s passion to connect you to curated science backed skin care regimen and professionals led to the birth of this unique marketplace  and first virtual digital clinic dedicated to evidence based skin care.

Helllooo beautiful humans! I was inspired to record this episode after recently receiving an interesting question from a follower over on IG. Her question read, "How do you make connections/friends? I can be shy/intimidated & have struggled with this." UGH- MY HEARTSTRINGS. But here's the thing.. I've heard a lot of people asking this same question. How do we meet people and make friends in adulthood?!

Growing up, we had school and various structures in our lives that somewhat forced friendships upon us. But as adults, that is not the case. So.. how do we make friends as an adult? It's a wild, wild west out there, so my hope for today's episode is that through these tips, you will receive tangible advice that you can implement today and be well on your way to building lasting friendships!

No time to listen? Okay, here are my 4 tips broken down for ya:

1.) Re-connect.

2.) Be a "yes man".

3.) Join a gym and/or religious organization.

4.) Plan the thing you're hoping to get invited to.

Did any of this message resonate with you? Learn something new? Ready to try out one of these tips for yourself? As always, I'd love to hear all of your thoughts/feedback. Find me on IG at @sarahmalouf__ or send me an email: [email protected]

I was so grateful to have the opportunity to sit down with TikTok megastar Kyla Thomson to discuss her life as a medical mom to Bella. Bella and her family have been inspiring the world for years on social media, creating and promoting the hashtag #BellaBrave, reminding us all that we can do hard things while finding a silver lining amidst even the most difficult challenges.

A word from Kyla:

I am Kyla Thomson and I am a medical mom to Bella. Before Bella was born I was a  teacher. My husband and I have lived on our acreage near Swift Current,  Saskatchewan, Canada (where I grew up)since 2012.  Currently  Bella is 8y old and in grade 3. Our son Waylon (non - medical kiddo) is  3 years old and the sweetest little brother to Bella.

The  first 2 years of Bella’s life we spent in hospital. Those years put her  through many bowel surgeries for LSHD & CVCs, a bone marrow  transplant for having been unknowingly born with SCID and many hospital  transfers. Currently 23 surgeries,

Bowel  failure & loss of vascular access has landed Bella on the Bowel  Transplant waiting list since July of 2020. We are currently managing  her conditions through the primary care of Alberta Children's Hospital  & Toronto SickKids hospital while I remain a full time medical mom  in our home.

My  daughter Bella has not only made me a medical mom but has shown me what  it means to be brave. We aim to inspire the world & show that you  can still find joy through the hardest of times. My husband and son are  the rocks that support us through it all.

Each  day from birth my baby girl has had to fight rare disease and she  continues to do so with such bravery and strength. She has taught me so  much as her momma and I couldn’t be more proud of how she handles this  medical life.
