In this episode, Emily shares the five inner-ecology pillars that support the same outcomes people often seek from retinoids: smoother texture, brighter tone, fewer bumps, and a calmer, more resilient barrier. She also breaks down the difference between dietary vitamin A and topical retinoids, why supplements aren’t a shortcut, and how lifestyle, warmth, nourishment, movement, and nervous system harmony create skin that naturally renews from within.
Product of the Month
December’s Product of the Month: the Tri-Doshic Balancing Abhyanga Oil, a favorite daily body oil ritual for grounding, nervous system support, and bringing more warmth and unctuousness into the body.

Today’s episode is part two of the vitamin A mini-series. Last week we talked about retinoids, what they do, how they interact with the skin, and why they can be so destabilizing from a corneotherapy and vitalist perspective.
This week, we’re shifting into something more exciting:
retinoid alternatives that actually support the skin, not override it.
If you've ever wondered:
“What should I use if I don’t want to thin my barrier?”
"Is bakuchiol actually a natural retinol?”
“What ingredients mimic the benefits of retinoids without the irritation?”
“Is tallow really ‘nature’s retinol’?”
…this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of my most requested topics: retinol, Retin-A, retinaldehyde, retinol esters, the whole retinoid family, and how these different forms of vitamin A actually work in the skin.
This episode is the first in a three-part Vitamin A series.
Today we’re focusing on retinoids, the synthetic and preformed versions of vitamin A that bind directly to retinoic acid receptors in your skin. Next week we’ll explore retinol alternatives like carotenoids and plant-based ingredients, and in two weeks we’ll talk about internal vitamin A and skin health.
I’m breaking down:
The conventional view of retinoids
The difference between retinol, retinaldehyde, retinyl esters, retinoic acid & Accutane
What vitamin A actually does in the skin (differentiation, turnover, collagen)
Side effects, irritation, contraindications & when not to use retinoids
Why oxidized retinol can cause inflammation
How the formula around vitamin A matters just as much as the vitamin A itself
Why retinoids thin the barrier and disrupt the microbiome
The wild history: the dermatologist who helped bring Retin-A to dermatology is the same doctor who later coined the term corneotherapy
How the medical model shapes the way dermatology thinks about skin
Why the “skin as machine” paradigm creates a very narrow way of treating skin
And the corneotherapeutic + herbalist lens: what happens when we force cell turnover instead of supporting the skin’s natural intelligence
If you want the full picture of retinoids this episode will help you understand exactly what these ingredients do, who they’re right for, and how they affect the skin’s ecology.

In this episode, Emily dives into the heart of herbalism. What even is herbalism? How is it different from “clean” or “plant-based” skincare, and why do herbalist-formulated products feel so alive?
She shares how her love of plants began at the Denver Botanic Gardens (and the fairy-tree elderberry that started it all), why whole-plant medicine is so much more than supplements or buzzwords, and how herbalism reconnects us to the intelligence of nature.
You’ll hear about:
The roots of herbal medicine and how it became “alternative” in the West
Why whole-plant formulas work differently from isolated actives
Common misconceptions about herbalism
How working with plants brings creativity, confidence, and embodiment back into self-care
What makes herbalist-formulated skincare uniquely potent and gentle
Whether you’re just herbal-curious or already steeping teas and mixing tinctures, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to reconnect with the land, and with your own body.

In this episode, Emily talks about how her understanding of holistic living has evolved beyond the “natural lifestyle” checklist into a deeper, more textured practice. She shares why true holistic living is less about controlling every variable and more about cooperating with the body’s innate intelligence through rhythm, seasonal awareness, simple rituals, and herbs as allies.
What you’ll hear:
Why “holistic” is a worldview, not an aesthetic or a shopping list
The difference between “natural,” “healthy,” and truly holistic living
A systems-biology lens for everyday choices, without the reductionist trap
How cycles matter: circadian rhythm, seasons, and the flows of a life
Practical ways to make life feel nourishing instead of like a to-do list

If this episode resonated, share it with a friend and let Emily know what landed for you. Next week, she dives into what herbalism really is and how she weaves herbal wisdom into skincare.
In this episode, Emily guides you through one of her favorite seasonal rituals, the Fall Shed. This is a powerful process of releasing clutter, stagnant energy, and outdated identities in order to create spaciousness for renewal, vitality, and aligned growth as we transition into a new year.
Rather than approaching decluttering as a chore, Emily reframes it as an intentional act of energetic refinement. She explores six key areas that hold energetic weight in our lives:
Physical environment
Digital space
Finances
Social life & relationships
Time & schedule
Health & fitness
Through this practice, Emily discuses how clearing these spaces can restore flow, increase clarity, regulate the nervous system, and invite abundance and creativity back into one’s life. This episode is an invitation to slow down, release what no longer resonates, and prepare the inner and outer landscape for a fresh season of vitality.
Whether you choose to shed in one of these areas or move through all six, this episode will help you reconnect to your own natural rhythms and step into the coming season with a renewed sense of peace, sovereignty, and purpose.

What really happens when you step away from social media: mentally, emotionally, and as a business owner?
In this candid episode, I share my field notes from three weeks off Instagram: the unexpected grief, newfound peace, surprising business clarity, and the stories I didn’t know I was living inside of.
This is an honest exploration of identity, self-worth, and whether our nervous systems and businesses can thrive outside of the algorithm.
We explore:
The false sense of self-importance created by constant visibility
How algorithmic bubbles shape our worldview (without us realizing it)
The difference between being seen and being watched
The story I told myself about not being able to run a business without Instagram, and what actually happened when I stepped away
What begins to flourish when we stop performing and start living again
Whether you’re social-media-free-curious, deeply burnt out, or simply rethinking how you want to be visible in the world, this episode will speak to that longing for a slower, more sovereign, more embodied way of doing life and business.

If this episode resonated, share it with a friend who could use a little grounding this fall. Word-of-mouth is how this community grows since Emily has stepped away from social media.
In this episode, Emily explores wrinkles through a vitalist lens... seeing them not as flaws to fix, but as messages from a living, intelligent body. She unpacks how aging became something we fear, how modern culture taught us to see our faces as broken parts, and what it means to come home to vitality instead of perfection.
You’ll hear about:
Emily’s own shift from “fix it” thinking to reverence for the aging face
Why modalities like facial massage, cupping, and face taping aren’t “natural Botox,” instead, they’re the antidote to stagnation
The 3 types of wrinkles: dehydration, dynamic, and static
How modern beauty ideals grew out of industrial, mechanical views of the body
What energetics really means (hint: it’s not vibes, it’s qualities)
The five core patterns that can show up in the skin as wrinkles: dryness, tension, stagnation, heat, and depletion.. and how to restore balance in each
Through herbal wisdom, lifestyle practices, and a vitalist approach, you’ll learn how to listen to what your skin is saying instead of waging war against it.

In this episode, I explore the idea that beauty is sacred: not something to pathologize, fix, or commodify. We’ll talk about how cultural grooves train us to see flaws instead of presence, why fix-it culture is actually a desecration of the holy, and how we can begin to shift into reverence instead of panic.
This episode is the foundation for next week, where I’ll share practical, sacred ways to tend to wrinkles with love instead of fear.

This week, we’re exploring how autumn invites us to tend to ourselves in deeper, more nourishing ways. In a world where beauty is often defined by surface fixes and staying forever young, this episode redefines beauty as harmony with nature and vitality from within.
We’ll look at what it means to live in rhythm with the seasons, why this matters for your skin, and how practices drawn from Ayurveda and Western herbalism can help you build reserves of vitality: what’s called ojas in Ayurveda and jing in Chinese medicine. Autumn (Vata season) brings airy, dry, restless energy, and I’ll share grounding foods, rituals, and self-care practices to stabilize and resource yourself.
This isn’t a checklist. Instead, take what feels delicious and leave the rest.

In this midweek bonus episode, Emily speaks about emotional, energetic, and cognitive sovereignty in a time of chaos. In the wake of violent, uncensored media flooding our social feeds, she explores what it means to protect your mind, body, and spirit from the collective swirl of fear. Why doing so is more than self-care: it’s soul care.
We talk about:
Why witnessing horror without consent is traumatizing, and how to step out of the outrage loop
The difference between tribal thinking and true discernment
Reclaiming your attention, ritual, and nervous system as daily forms of sacred resistance
The energetic cost of constant consumption, and what happens when we unplug
Why tending to your temple is a way of keeping humanity intact in a dehumanizing world
What it means to create new timelines instead of feeding existing fear loops
How to choose creation over collapse : without bypassing real grief or shadow
Herbs, nervous system practices, and grounding routines to bring you back to earth

Every organ, every cell, even your skin, is timed by your circadian clock. The 24 hour clock that is governed by light and dark, eating patterns, even movement. When you live in sync with this rhythm, your body anticipates what it needs: your skin repairs itself overnight, your digestion runs smoothly, your mood feels grounded.
In this episode, I share:
Why light is the most powerful signal for your circadian rhythm (and how different spectrums: sunrise, midday, sunset, and firelight affect your skin and hormones).
How your circadian rhythm controls skin repair, barrier strength, microbiome balance, wound healing, and antioxidant defenses.
Practical ways to reset your rhythm in modern life: morning light, eating with the sun, firelight evenings, true darkness, and more.
Why syncing your daily habits with circadian rhythms isn’t a “hack” but a way of reclaiming your self healing potential.

In this episode I share my own journey from feeling like beauty was “shallow” to realizing it is sacred. Along the way we unravel:
How Big Beauty thrives on shame, scarcity, and impossible standards
The difference between natural consumption and the frenzy of consumerism
Why excess is actually scarcity in disguise
How capitalism and commerce aren’t inherently the enemy but it’s our relationship with them that matters
How to start untangling your own relationship with beauty as conditional worth
I also leave you with pointed questions: an invitation to go deeper with yourself around beauty, scarcity, and consumerism. This is big, lifelong work, but it’s where the shift begins.

This summer, we’re diving deep into ingredient literacy to build discernment. In this short intro episode, I’m setting the stage for a new summer series where each week, I’ll unpack one skincare ingredient through a holistic lens. You’ll learn not only what the ingredient does, but why it’s used, how it interacts with the skin, and how to start thinking more critically about your products.
This series is for both consumers who want to feel more connected to their skin and estheticians who want to deepen their education beyond protocols and product hype.
I’ll also touch on:
Why reading an ingredient list is helpful, but not the whole story
The difference between ingredients that sit on, penetrate, and absorb into the skin
How ingredient quality and energetic vitality matter just as much as the INCI name
Why I believe skincare should empower, not create dependency
How to start recognizing the difference between barrier-supportive skincare and trend-driven marketing
If you've ever looked at a label and wondered if a product was actually good for your skin, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting skincare advice, this series is for you.

Today’s episode is all about something most skincare podcasts never touch—your kitchen. Not the fridge contents (though that matters too), but the actual space, tools, and energy you bring to it. I’m sharing why a nourishing kitchen setup is one of the most underrated skin-care tools you can have.
We’ll talk about what whole food meals actually are (and aren’t), why cooking from scratch matters so much for your skin, and how to create a kitchen that feels not just functional, but sacred. Whether you’re just starting out or already love to cook, this episode will help you reconnect to the energy of food as a ritual, not a chore.

In this episode , we’re diving into one of the most foundational (and underrated) elements of skin health: your circadian rhythm.
