Written On Your Face

The marketing around the term "toner" creates a lot of confusion for the average skincare user.

Americans are sicker than ever before. Over 60% of the US population is overweight or obese, and pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes are at an all time high. But what's causing it? It's our food. With an agriculture system that's driven by profits, the prevalence of cheap, toxic ingredients is everywhere. This week's episode shines a light on the issues we're facing, as well as ho...

This week I thought I'd share my personal story and how it led me where I am today. I hope you enjoy it. It's taken me a lifetime to heal and accept myself and really let myself shine unapologetically in the world, I've always held back for fear of ostracism or judgement.
