Independent Beauty: A Bridge To A Better Beauty Industry

Update: 2022-02-10

Description

I’m so glad you’re here on my podcast page! This first episode is a brief one sharing some details about me, my career and my love-hate relationship with the beauty industry. But most importantly, the fruition of my 10-year mission to help build better beauty by supporting and highlighting the beauty and wellness brands, influencers, and trailblazers of tomorrow.

Get ready for my takes on notorious scandals, stories of my personal experiences in the industry, and opinions on building better beauty from me and my experts.

In this episode, I talk about:

Who I am and how I got into the beauty industry
Why I gave up my agency to find a more impactful place of work
The FTC cracking down on brands soliciting fake reviews for their products
The toxic work culture within L’Oreal *trigger warning* This episode references a former employee's consideration of self harm.
