An honest talk about mental health — from my live Naked Beauty event in NYC I’m joined by writer, DJ & childhood friend, Gillian Sagansky to talk about how she’s come out as someone who struggles with OCD. We discuss her choice to seek treatment & how life was before she realized she needed to make mental health her ‘full-time job’. She explains how important it’s been for her to live without shame and the power of telling a single story.We discuss taking breaks from social media, how to support friends who share their mental health concerns (and accomplishments) with you & so much more! Thank you Gillian for your transparency and strength.

From product development at Glossier to the front lines of L’Oreal — Diarrha has seen a lot and I was so eager to hear all the beauty TEA & it is *hot* – I had a jaw on the floor moment during our chat! I also learned A LOT - Diarrha talks about the science of skin, how products are formulated and women of color being excluded from clinical trials. We discuss Drunk Elephant, how Sephora uses data to market products brilliantly, how she found herself at Glossier & she shares all of her favorite products! Additional gems:she demystifies sunscreen & hyaluronic acid why you don’t need expensive cleanserskin bleaching vs skin brightening makeup as second skin& so much more!***quote from the episode I love***“I’m sick of diversity as a facade.

Marjon Carlos is a writer, cultural critic, speaker and editor whose work I’ve admired for years. She is the former Senior fashion writer at Vogue.com where she explored the intersection of style and culture – informed by her academic background in African-American studies at Brown and Columbia University.Marjon tells me how she came into her own personal style, shopping memories in Dallas, the early days of Saint Heron and how she’s thinking about aging. She’s a fashion girl slowly wading into the beauty waters and we talk microneedling, how we’re coping with our natural hair and the temptation of wigs.Links to products/resources:Unzipped(documentary):https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114805/Oribe Hair Gel for Textured/Curly Hair:https://www.oribe.com/collections/moisture-and-control/curl-gelee-for-shine-definition.htmlMake Beauty(natural products made in NY)https://www.makebeauty.comFenty Bronzer Sun Stalk’rhttps://www.fentybeauty.com/sun-stalkr/instant-warmth-bronzer/FB30015.htmlLesse Balancing Facial Oil:https://lesseofficial.com/products/face-serum--Follow/Get in Touch with Marjon: http://www.marjoncarlos.com/contactFollow Me: https://www.instagram.com/brookedevard/Join the Naked Beauty Community: https://www.instagram.com/nakedbeautyplanet/---Get your tickets to the live show in NYC Saturday June 22nd: http://nakedbeauty.eventbrite.com--Subscribe, rate & review the podcast!

“I have a story. It’s hard, it’s gnarly but it’s not about the story, it’s what you do with it.” - Sophia Roe, my incredible guest for this special episode of Naked Beauty.Sophia’s wisdom, humor and excitement for life are all so refreshing and a joy to witness. I loved learning about how she got her start in high-end restaurants, then to catering, and how her love of food has evolved over time. We talk clean beauty and the correlation between skin and food, make-up girls vs skincare girls, curly hair care, and how her esthetician changed her skin forever.Sophia grew up in and out of foster care. Her mother, who suffered from substance abuse and addiction, was still there for her in her own unique way that Sophia remembers fondly. We talk about how her iconic haircut came to her in a dream, moving to New York City and finding her style. She shares that she got her first manicure at 28 and what it was like for her to suddenly work at an office when she began working at MILK Makeup.Listen to hear us discuss: tattoos, infrared facials, finding confidence when you need to be on camera, lack of diversity in the wellness industry and how she handles it, her must-have beauty products, the book she’s writing and so much more!-Follow Sophia: https://www.instagram.com/sophia_roe/Join the Naked Beauty Community: @nakedbeautyplanet https://www.instagram.com/nakedbeautyplanet/Follow me @brookedevard: https://www.instagram.com/brookedevard/Get your tickets to the LIVE show in NYC 6/22:http://nakedbeauty.eventbrite.comLinks to Products/Resources:MILK Eye Pigment: https://www.sephora.com/product/eye-pigment-P404807Sophia’s Shoot for Cherry Bomb: https://cherrybombe.com/radio-cherry-bombe/food-and-feelings-with-sophia-roeMatthew Miller her esthetician: https://www.matthewmillerskin.comHemp oil for skin: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/hemp-oil-for-skinThe Neuco vitamin c powder: https://www.thenueco.com/products/topical-cZipp Beauty Treatments: https://ziipbeauty.comPalo Santo Benefits: https://monq.com/eo/essential-oils/palo-santo-essential-oil-holistic-benefits-holy-wood/Bergamot Oil: https://www.wellandgood.com/good-looks/bergamot-essential-oil-uses/DS & Durga Rose Atlantic: https://dsanddurga.com/products/rose-atlanticKoh Gen Do foundation: https://kohgendocosmetics.com/collections/foundationLaura mercier eyeshadow sticks (easy eye makeup):https://www.lauramercier.com/eye-shadow/caviar-stick-eye-colour-prod450002.htmlClear Boy Brow: https://www.glossier.com/products/boy-browWeleda Sensitive Skin Facial Moisturizer: https://www.weleda.com/product/s/sensitive-care-facial-creamSurreal Skincare -...
