Naked Beauty

This week’s episode with my dear friend Amelia Glum could not have come at a more important time. As many of us navigate stress and mental health challenges throughout this pandemic, Amelia’s personal testimony of overcoming codependency, leaving a relationship that no longer served her, prioritizing spirit over ego, and embracing one’s inner child is SO IMPORTANT. It is a reminder to us all just how much strength it takes to be vulnerable, and I can’t wait for you all to tune in.

I am so happy to share that Naked Beauty is officially back! In this new year of beauty, self-love, and exploration, I want to start by discussing the power of setting your intentions.

So sit back, grab that pen and paper, and get ready to reflect! My book recommendation: Untamed by Glennon DoyleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Check out nakedbeautypodcast.com for all previous episodes & search episodes by topicRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.

When people ask me about my favorite podcasts, How Neal Feel almost immediately comes to mind. No, it has nothing to do with beauty or fashion, but that’s not the point. See, what makes this show so special is the dynamic between co-hosts comedian Neal Brennan and actress Bianca Sia. Which is exactly why this episode with Bianca was a dream come true! Not only did we dive into her experience on the show, but we addressed the challenges she has faced working in an industry that tends to include the word “beautiful” in the job description. Tune in for a hilarious and vast discussion on her Persian and Panamanian roots, getting ready for the Oscars, handling rejection, and so much more! Links to Products/Resources Mentioned:Malin&Goetz Scalp Detox Mask, Aesop Primrose Cream, Aesop Lightweight Facial Hydrating Serum, Korean Spa Scrubbers, Rosewater Spray, SEDU Styling IronJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet Check out nakedbeautypodcast.com for all previous episodes & search episodes by topicRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.
