Former doula and postpartum expert Erica Chidi is back on the podcast to discuss all the highs, lows, and complexities of postpartum. I got a chance to reflect on my personal postpartum experiences and the challenges of advocating for my own health. Erica and I get into it all: hormonal changes, hair loss, mood fluctuations, the importance of self-care, breastfeeding challenges and the concept of being 'touched out'. Erica offers practical advice on physical and emotional recovery, essential products for new moms, and discusses the critical role of partners in supporting postpartum care.  Tune in as we discuss: * The importance of having a clear postpartum plan * How partners and loved ones can provide support during postpartum  * How intimacy might change after giving birth  * Developing and enforcing boundaries during the postpartum period  Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple  [https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/naked-beauty/id1131628553] Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet [https://www.instagram.com/nakedbeautyplanet/]  Thanks for all the love and support.

Nayeema Raza brought us the same curiosity and knowledge she brings to her Smart Girl, Dumb Questions listeners. Her early life was spent globe-trotting, so hearing her firsthand perspective on the similarities in beauty standards and practices is fascinating. Nayeema proudly detailed some of her favorite aspects of Pakistani beauty culture, especially how it has been shaped by powerful Islamic women and their preference for natural beauty treatments. We ended with a great discussion about all that she’s learned about her body while freezing her eggs and dating in NYC. Tune in as we discuss: * Pakistani Beauty Culture’s unique history and strong cultural roots * The difference between anti-ageing and longevity culture * What we should be asking about perimenopause and menopause * Why freezing her eggs made her feel powerful Stay in touch with me: @brookedevard [https://www.instagram.com/brookedevard/] Follow Nayeema @nayeemaraza [https://www.instagram.com/nayeemaraza/?hl=en] and listen to Smart Girl, Dumb Questions [https://linktr.ee/smartgirldumbquestions?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAadekzdY043ocY0TbXltmiGW9HXmKyIbmTgCI--mAGu16xHiyw8VABhv6oLbZg_aem_IMbEMgyxXeH9pz1mSWKJgQ] Shop this episode:  [https://shopmy.us/collections/1638071] * Oribe - Shampoo [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595851], Conditioner [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595865], Mirror Rinse [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595879], Foundation Mist [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595900], Hairspray [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595918] * Giorgio Armani Foundation [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595945] * Chanel Liquid Lip [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17596040] * RMS Eye Polish [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595965] * Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil [https://go.shopmy.us/p-17595995] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In this week’s episode, I sat down for a beauty tell-all with beauty veterans Jill and Carlene of the Breaking Beauty Podcast. During our conversation, Jill and Carlene discussed their pre-podcast careers in broadcasting and editorial, which informed their approach to Breaking Beauty. It was such a great opportunity to learn about how they developed the podcast and came together to tell behind-the-scenes beauty stories. We talked about how the role of the influencer, marketing, and even podcasting has changed since their launch in 2017. Jill and Carlene shared the truth behind manufacturing costs, the future of beauty, and why marketing founders is almost as important as marketing the product.  Tune in as we discuss: * The realities of the cost of manufacturing beauty products * Which beauty biotech innovations are worth the cost * The immense power of beauty influencers and cosmetic scientists  * What beauty products they’re most excited about * Why it's so hard for brands and consumers to move away from “anti-aging” language  Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple  [https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/naked-beauty/id1131628553] Join the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanet [https://www.instagram.com/nakedbeautyplanet/]  Thanks for all the love and support.
