Barefaced Chat

My right-hand woman in both chaos and calm, Sharon Brown has been by my side for over a decade. In this episode, we explore what it means to wear multiple hats, A&E nurse, aesthetics manager, menopause champion, and why we trust each other with everything. A raw and real chat about safety, sisterhood, and hybrid careers in aesthetics.

On Barefaced Chat, we sit down with Karen Cody, grants specialist, arts champion, feminist thinker, and proud founding member of Skin Club. We dig into aesthetic stigma in the arts, Pamela Anderson’s beauty evolution, the power of journaling, and women in leadership. It’s thoughtful, it’s honest, it’s the conversation we all need right now. ⁠

From Clinique counters to mother-daughter skin journeys, Karen Thompson has seen the beauty industry from every angle.

Karen’s timeless wisdom will leave you thinking differently about what it means to age well. ⁠

She’s the digital voice behind our brands and the heart of our content. Meet Molly Burrows, social media exec, skin-thinker, and author of The Dysfunctional Nose and I.
